Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

Also oh my god, I would read so much of that pairing. SO MUCH.

I KNOW! That and the Zuko/Sandor Clegane I promised you ages ago, although that basically boiled down to the Hound going, "Oh, piss on your honour."

I just want Zuko's FEELINGS and Piandao's quiet weariness.

Things Zuko is no longer allowed to do in Master Piandao's lessons:

- use his swords to cut down tree branches
- or whole trees
- practice ritual suicide
- practice beheading his sister
- pretend his sword is an Air Nation battle glider
- make dresses for his swords and have tea parties with them
- use them as props in air shamisen battles
