[ he found it. he had aimed to find something similar, not something that bore a near-exact resemblance to the one he discarded at lake laogai, and that marked the first time he'd stolen something since ba sing se. zuko had worked hard at living an honest life in genessia, but this was something he couldn't do honestly. so he stole — he stole the mask and the means to piece together an outfit that would cover him from head to toe, and a pair of twin katana to strap to his back in place of his own swords (too recognizable).

I never said that I actually saw the Blue Spirit. I only know what Zhao claimed to have seen. He – it, whatever it is, matches the description he gave.

Oh well. You won't be of use then.

So if you see, whatever it is, tell me. I'll deal with him, personally.
