Oh God, we could have gone to see Sozin about heat manipulation in the spirit world.

Wait, no, we probably couldn't, since Notyourbuddy was apparently five minutes away from peeling the spirit-flesh from our spirit-bones. Disappointing.
Associating with that guy would have made Fuujin even more pissed. This time specifically at us.

Heat manipulation scrolls- I don't remember anything about this- I though the plan was always to check out Yu Dao
No, we've sent requests for information through many different channels and we're waiting for them to gat back to us. Moving around is counterproductice, really.

Advanced airbending technique- agreed, we do need the basics (at least) before we start trying to push things
Swords- it's the gesture; we got him his original set, remember? Getting him a new set not as a mocking gesture, but as a token of respect/friendship, is why we should do this.
Actually, from what I read. We Didn't give it to him as a mocking gesture. More like a, "Here, maybe this'll help." kind of thing.

Like seeing someone struggling to move a box and telling them that there's a ramp right over there.

Fair point, but going straight from antagonistic relationship to getting her a bending teacher is WAY too big a jump. Plus Ozai will probably veto it, and Zuul probably wouldn't want to teach her. For that matter, would Katara even be okay with being taught by her?

We haven't heard from Katara in a while.

I don't like her, much like people don't like Zuul, but Chibi has a habit of having events build up in the background beyond our sight and biting us in the ass. Hard.

Yeah, honestly I'd be fine with putting training off for a day while we have our council of war and politics, and make our social rounds. ALL OF THEM.

Can't really remember to be honest. I know that at least some of the support for the idea was because of the mocking inherent in it- 'you suck at firebending, so here's something you should do instead', sort of thing.

In regards to Katara, we could possibly just go and talk to her while doing everything in our power not to mock, taunt or get mad at her. Azula is, after all, extremely good at not doing what she wants. Half the time it turns into something so no longer wants to do, anyway.

She could claim that it's her interest in Water Tribe culture from a direct source or maybe just a different perspective on normal affairs. No matter. It should hopefully get harder and harder for Katara to hate Azula if she no longer does anything mean to her or wont be baited into anger. Or, well, it could piss Katara off even more, though given her personality, that's a bit unlikely, I think.

Repeat these conversation every other day or so for a month or so. If it's working, continue, if not, well, we tried.

Probably not, but I doubt she'll refuse since it's her only option. The fact that she'll dislike Zuul is precisely why it's not too big a jump. We are helping Katara, but not in a way she's entirely comfortable with. Ozai already left her in our hands and why would he care anyway? What's a single waterbender gonna do?

As for Zuul, we're the boss of her. She doesn't get to refuse.

Ozai's got lots to think about, but I suspect he'll have at least the beginnings of a game plan by now. Plus, now that he's aware of the existence of spirits we can bring up the Old Man in the Mountain with him.

And even if he's not ready TODAY, we can at least put forth the idea so events are in motion.

Okay then:

[X] (Somehow) find the time to make sure Zuul is settling in, reasonably comfortable, and not making trouble.
[X] Check on Katara. Resist the urge to taunt her.
[X] Test out our new air/lightning bending. Don't push it- just try to get a basic idea of what we're capable of.
[X] Ask uncle whether he knows where we might be able to get more airbending scrolls.

We should certainly get Zuko some new swords, particularly considering the circumstances in which he lost his previous ones. On the subject of his swords, has the meteor storm happened yet? Getting swords for him should also be very cheap, time wise.

We can't afford to waste time on Zuul. If she becomes a problem, we, or Iroh, or Ozai, or even Zuko or Toph can just put her down, permanently if required. She's just not worth the hassle she represents. I was afraid she'd be a time sink, and that seems to be exactly what she's turning into. There are so many, much more important things we could be doing - exploring the capabilities of our airbending and Zuko's shadowbending, developing new or upgrading existing techniques, trying to develop an airbending version of Divine Right by practising on the Joo Dee, and many more. Until we get heat bending there's not even much point in learning her fire bending style - even if we can work out how to bend molten iron and salt with lavabending, her style would give us an amazing anti-spirit technique.

Katara can also be left to rot. She's useful as a hostage, but she's too much of a threat to allow out. Perhaps, perhaps we could look for some scrolls that are purely about healing and give them to her, but I'm not really sure we should. Once more, she's just a time sink. She's Iroh's hostage. He can manage her. We don't need to, and shouldn't. Taking too much of an interest in her is itself problematic.

This, on the other hand, I disagree with. A complete 180° on our attitude on the flimsy excuse that we want to know the Water Tribe better is such a transparent attempt to butter her up while giving her nothing of substance I think Katara would just shut us out.

Frankly it doesn't sound like an actual attempt at success, but just going through the motion so you can say we tried.

We already told her that we want to "seduce" her, so there really isn't much we can do that she wouldn't consider a method of trying to get her to stop hating us. Doesn't mean it wouldn't work, even if she knows what we're doing.

Sure, she's kind of a jerk and Azula hates her. But that's no reason for us to want her dead.

Killing Ursa will have ugly social repercussions within the family and I don't see any real gains from it.

Send her a teacher she dislikes intensely. Both a punishment and a reward at the same time. She'll resent us for it, but be thankful at the same time.


Don't try to fundamentally change our relationship with Katara. It's fine to spend our time insulting each other if we manage to remove the bite from it. More than affection, we need gratitude, no matter how grudgingly it is given. I want Katara to feel indebted to us. That'll get her on our side much more effectively than a few talks.

All of that was either accidental creepiness (the doll), or came about due to non-creepy reasons (Zuko needing to know about our deal with Navi). The sheath thing is far more blatant and deliberate.

Yep. So why are people suggesting buying him them seperately, when they'd come with the swords?

Is there a proper method for disposing of ruined swords? We should take our old hilt and bury it with honors or something, since it truly did its duty in our (Zuko's) time of need.

Like her or not, Zuul is our responsibility and we need to do something with her other than patting her on the head and having her sit in the corner. She won't put up with that indefinitely. I'm in favor of sending her to Lo and Li: they can teach her "proper" firebending, and at the same time they're probably qualified to mine the worthwhile parts of her bastard waterfirebending.

Meanwhile we've already got some airbending scrolls, don't we? Or was it just the air-sword scroll that we already gave to Zuko? We should definitely get some advice from Iroh on how best to proceed. Earlier someone mentioned that we should ask Ozai to cancel the bounties on airbenders if those are still a thing, and that seems like a good thing to reiterate.


[X] Check in on everyone. Make sure Ty Lee is no longer freaking out, and talk to Iroh and Ozai about our new capabilities- whether we should try and hide them, how people are likely to react, etc.
-Get Iroh's advice on how to proceed for further airbending training
-Try to get Ozai to make airbending politically acceptable
[X] Send Zuul to Lo and Li, so that she can learn and they can evaluate her style. Let her know that they taught Azula, that should help her respect them.
[X] Test out our new air/lightning bending. Don't push it- just try to get a basic idea of what we're capable of.

Chibi already told us that Azula won't be capable of giving the sheaths as a present for years, given the implications and her intimacy issues. Let's drop the issue for now.

Moving on to training. This is how the spirit that Zuko cut a deal with described himself as:

"I am the shadow of a moonless light, filling the dreams of men with fright. I am the who, when called 'who is there?', I am the strange breeze that chills through still air."


Zuko may well have gained air as well as shadow bending. It's probably worth investigation to see if he can also benefit from any information Azula gathers about the subject. He might also have an affinity for mental bending using shadows.
