[ moe.... b. zuko actually looks a little taken aback by these shining adorable eyes, because he'd never really consider himself wise or worth looking up to in the first place. ]
Well... keep at it. It's mostly discipline and practice. [ shuffles awkwardly. ]
It's not that easy to just jump into a situation, even if you know how to fight. But I could teach you, if you want. Uh... the training part, not the jumping part.
[Dorothy said that too, didn't she? Caring about animals means you're kind. And he thought she was right, when she said it. But.]
Do you think it's bad to hurt people? To make them go to the hospital? To make them lose their clothes and their hair and all of their friends? To destroy their school? Do you think it's bad to make your brother afraid of you?
[He can exposition about his family? Mob smiles at that because it sounds really nice!]
Mm. Master helps clients with their spiritual problems. But there are a lot of people who think their problems can only be solved with psychic abilities, or were caused by evil spirits, even though they're just ordinary problems. . .
[ he's gonna assume reigen has some quirks like iroh does.... ]
My Uncle's the one who stood by for the last three years... he taught me firebending, and meditation, and so many things. He stood by me when I was banished, even though I was terrible to him.

no subject
I don't like fighting. . . but I want to be able to help, too.
no subject
[ if this is going to happen again. ]
But we can start with defensive maneuvers.
no subject
[But only with powers. He wants to know how to do it the way Zuko did.]
. . . You said you used to be bad, but become good.
no subject
Yeah. I've... got a complicated past.

[ it's hard to believe, coming from such a soft boy. ]
Why?
no subject
[They're still pretty bad?]
I want to change.
no subject
[ confidently!! ]
But how did it happen in the first place? Was it your powers?
no subject
There have been times where I've lost control of them. When I get too angry, or - if I get hurt.
no subject
[ not so much the getting hurt, but.... it's easy to hurt people with fire. ]
Do you a master to teach you how to use them?
no subject
Master Reigen. After the first time it happened, that's when I started coming to talk to him . . . it helped a lot.
no subject
If it weren't for my Uncle, I wouldn't have been on the path I am now. So, it's important. Uncle taught me a lot of meditation, too, I can teach you.
no subject
[So Zuko has a wise master, too, and that's how he became so wise.]
I'd like that. My master does meditation with clients a lot. And massages.
no subject
[ watch out mob or he's going to exposition forever. ]
That sounds-- uh. Massages?
no subject
[He can exposition about his family? Mob smiles at that because it sounds really nice!]
Mm. Master helps clients with their spiritual problems. But there are a lot of people who think their problems can only be solved with psychic abilities, or were caused by evil spirits, even though they're just ordinary problems. . .
He helps that type of person, too.
no subject
He sounds like a good man. Though I'm not sure what massages have to do with it.
[ spiritual... massages?? ]
no subject
Anyway, Mob doesn't really understand the massages either, but he nods at 'good man.' Zuko gets it.]
He's taught me many important things.

no subject
[It's so nice! To hear him talk about his family!]
You were banished?
no subject
[ yeah so nice.... ]
Yeah. Three years ago, my father banished me for speaking out of turn. My uncle is the one who stood by me the whole time.
