But he knew that wasn't an option. They weren't like any other human he's ever known. They didn't beg or cry when their life was on the line. They were predatory. They wanted him dead and even when they and their friends were burning up they didn't stop.
What Wan learned very quickly was that soldiers could be incapacitated if he aimed for at lease one of their wings. It wouldn't kill them, but it would make much easier targets for Zuko to kill. ]
