[ It's Hua Cheng's huli jing that comes in first, all six of its fox tails flicking back and forth behind it, before pausing when it sees that someone else is in the kitchen. With a brief turn of its head, it glances back with its right eye still closed, perpetually winky facing, to look at the source of the usual ominous jingles.
He doesn't stop when he sees Zuko, just comes in and regards him tiredly. They've had a long week. He's still in pain, and still nauseous. It's fine. ]

[ He's carrying the turtleduck with him as he heads towards the counter, setting it down with a pat on its little head. ]
I lost an arm, which has the side effect of being in perpetual pain, for some reason, and haven't been nauseous since I was still alive, which makes this experience annoying. But, I'm still in this world, so I'll take it. Tea?
[ No protest from the fox spirit that is a reflection of Hua Cheng at the pets. It just puts its head in his lap and hangs out, while its person mans through his suffering. ]

[ Turtleduck gets a scritchy to the head before he starts to heat water. ]
I'll take them, though gege has been plying me with them as the instructions allow. [ ... a little extra won't hurt, probably, he's a ghost. ]

Yeah, but it didn't help us narrow anything down.
[ le sigh... ]
... I'll take the tea. I have some, uh, painkillers I can give you, too.
