[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.

You think so?

[Zuko is too pessimistic for that thought to have occurred to her.]

[Rob is perhaps being overly-optimistic right now.]

Dunno, but nothing she's done has stopped us. She might be running out of ideas by now.

[daughterofursa]

I wouldn't count on it. If she is getting desperate, it'll make her more willing to use anything she's set aside as a last resort.

We've survived everything she's thrown at us so far. There's no reason to think we can't handle whatever comes next.

["Survived" is a low bar in a place where death isn't permanent.]

[daughterofursa]

I have no doubt we'll survive it. But 'surviving' isn't exactly victory.

[So negative, Zuko.]

It isn't defeat, either.
