[ The planetarium is quiet, and while Hua Cheng would reach out to someone with it - he has no interest to, right now. Instead, it's just a matter of making rounds and seeing if anything has changed.
Looks like the one thing that's changed is that he's not alone. That's fine.
Instead of turning around, he folds his arms behind his back and makes his way closer while looking up at the stars there. ]
[ zuko's out here collecting his thoughts after everything.... seeing the stars does make him feel better, for whatever reason. even if he doesn't know them. maybe it's the familiarity. ]
[ but he notices pretty quickly that he's not alone, too, and cants his head towards hua cheng. ]
[ A moment of consideration - and remembering their first encounter, with some dry amusement - Hua Cheng decides yeah. Okay. And comes close enough that it's technically joining him. ]
You did an impressive job earlier.
[ Because color him interested. And bypassing your awkward, bless your heart. ]
[ Find a happy balance, Zuko, and you'll do great. ]
En, he was. But with a weapon, it's not hard to say what would have happened with that desperation, otherwise. [ hums ] Take the compliment towards your skills and the knowledge that you stopped someone from hurting more people, for what it's worth.
Gege will always help where he can. The other one is... Bucky, if I remember correctly. He has some other ridiculous name he's going by, but Chad is easier.

It wasn't that impressive. Someone still died.
[ learn to take a compliment, zuko!! ]
no subject
How many more would have died if the three of you didn't intervene? I just have to get rid of everyone else.
no subject
Yeah. You're probably right. He was just... so defenseless.

It's better than nothing.

Xie Lian helped, too. And... Chad? I don't know what his name is.
