A chicken? What are you going to do? Eat it?

[He actually knows what a chicken is. Its one of the few Avatar world animals that isn't a hybrid and well... in the Earth Kingdom they eat them.]

[winds_voice]

Eat it? No... the horoscope did not say anything about that. I was under the impression that to 'adopt' something would mean to take care of it.

[Not that he would be averse to the idea of eating a chicken if the opportunity arose, but in this case he was looking for a companion, not food.]

I admit that I know nothing about how to raise a chicken, however. Even so, it is a mission I have accepted. I must find one.

[lordhotman]

I've... never taken care of a chicken, but I've had an ostrich horse.

[Surely it can't be all that different? Just throw food and water at it and it should live, right?]

If this stops I could help you.

[And just like that.. it DOES stop.]

[winds_voice]

An ostrich horse?

[He can't really imagine what kind of animal that would be right now. There were horses in Agkelos, though they didn't look exactly like the ones at the stables. Ostriches on the other hand... that was something he couldn't envision.]

Well, I am always open to learn. I am sure once I have discovered the care it needs, it will be fine.

[He honestly appreciates the help too and was about to respond to his offer when suddenly he feels the twitching stop from beneath him. Looking down and pausing, just to make sure, the Spirit finally gets up off of poor Zuko.]

It seems you are free of your dance for now. As long as you are able and willing, I would be glad for the help.

[lordhotman]

[Once Eley gets off of him, Zuko pushes himself to his feet and dusts himself off... trying to look as dignified as possible.]

If it's that important to you, I'll help.

[It's the least he could do for Eley trying to help him. Plus, surely it couldn't be hard to find one chicken. Right? Hopefully.]

[winds_voice]

[He certainly hopes not anyway, but he wouldn't hold it against Zuko if he decided to abandon his quest halfway through. It was Eley's own task after all.

He waits for Zuko to compose himself, feeling somewhat guilty now that the strange happenings had paused for now, and goes on.]

I had hoped the farmlands might house some chickens. They are farm creatures after all, yes? Even so, keep your eyes open on the way.

[He starts to set off, before realising something...]

Ah... what is your name?

[lordhotman]

Yeah, that would be the best place to look.

[He starts to follow, looking at Eley when asked for his name.]

My name is Zuko. What's yours?

[winds_voice]

Zuko? Prince Zuko?

[The name seems to catch him by surprise, though it does confirm his suspicions. This was the boy he had met before? But... what had happened to him since then in that case? That terrible scar...]

I am Eleytheria. I believe we have met before... do you recall?

[lordhotman]

Well it's Fire Lord Zuko now, but yes?

[And when Eley explains it makes sense.]

Yeah I do... But it feels like a distant memory. You were the little dragon right?

[winds_voice]

Fire Lord?

[He blinks at that. A lot really must have changed throughout his life and he can't help but be curious to find out more. Perhaps not now though.]

Yes, that is right. Thankfully I seem to have returned to a normal size. Appearing so small was rather... embarrassing.

It must be strange for you to imagine that it happened so long ago. You must be carrying a lot of memories in your current state.

[lordhotman]

You mean you're supposed to be a dragon?

[He doesn't exactly look like one.]

Yeah it's kind of weird.

[winds_voice]

Hmm, let me try to explain. I am a Spirit and in my world, Spirits have no form. However, we are capable of showing ourselves in a physical body if we choose to. In my case, I usually assume the form of the dragon. It is what I am used to and what I am most comfortable with.

But then I came here and it seems that the Malnosso saw fit to place me in a human body. Perhaps it was because I had already started to grow too close to humans in my own world... to develop attachment and emotion. That is why I appear human now, in any case.

[He hoped it might be all right to mention more about the situation now that Zuko wasn't a child.]

[lordhotman]

I see. I don't think that's very different from the spirits in our world.

[But then he's no expert on spirits like Aang or his uncle.]
