[Okay. It's been a while since Zuko made a network post, but she remembers how this works. Yeah. Definitely. Turning on the video feed, Zuko sits back from the camera, but the image is immediately obscured by a blurry dragon face.]

Come sit with me, Kizuna. They'll see you better from over here.

[Kizuna trills curiously and joins Zuko, her tail just narrowly avoiding smacking into the phone. Zuko clears her throat and begins to speak as Kizuna sits beside her turning her head this way and that to see how it changes the image on the phone.]

We've fallen behind in what we're supposed to be doing here. Thanks to Dove, we're not dealing with the same level of darkness as last month, so we have no excuses. If you've been here a while, you know this is about as peaceful as things get.

I'm looking for a few people to join me on a push. My hope is we'll be able to finish clearing the eastern side of the castle.

Rin Tohsaka is organizing a mission of her own to the arena. She already has everyone she needs, but with enough people, a third group could head into the area beyond the cages. If anyone is interested in leading that, let me know.

[Zuko's response is brusque, almost dismissive. To anyone who knows her, a clear sign that she's trying too hard to act like it doesn't bother her.]

The first time we went there, the walls were covered in it. It sucked the life out of anyone it touched.

I've heard it's gone now. That's no reason to assume it can't come back.

[Unfamiliar with her mannerisms, Leonardo doesn't pick up on the discomfort beneath her bravado. He simply makes a quiet sound akin to eugh and nods.]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep an eye out for it.

[Zuko nods.]

Good.

And good luck.

[duelkatana]

You, too.

Be sure to keep in touch. We're all in this together.
