It's pretty much the same for birds. And most other animals.

IT WAS A TWINKLING PINK BLOB WITH WINGS!

Did you flush it.

No, we didn't have time. It just happened.

[stands up, grabs Zuko by the back of the shirt, and marches him over to the sink]

[undignified yelp]

HEY!

[bends him over the sink, turning the water on]

The first thing you do when you get a foreign substance in your eye is flush it. That's because, if it's dangerous, you don't want to give it any time at all to work past the surface or to grind it in by blinking. Next time a monster comes in your eye, beeline for the sink.

Keep your eye open, okay? [cupping a hand under the flow]

I'll remember that next time I'm fighting a monster near convenient plumbing.

Not much running water in a library.

[WATCHING YOU CLOSELY }8| ]

I'm pretty sure the libraries have bathrooms, for when their patrons need to take a piss. Not that I hang out there.

[flushing his eye :/] I'll give you some eyedrops after and will also guarantee that you are not pregnant if you like.

... you can really guarantee that?

Well, if an hour passes and you don't start showing, I've done my job, right?

. . . I guess so.

I told you.

Don't act smug! You're not the one who got -- stuff in your eye!

[finishes flushing his eye out and turns the water off]

Blink a bit. How's it feeling? Probably still a bit stinging and sore, right? Man, getting that stuff in your eye's the worst.

Especially when it sticks to your eyebrows.

. . .

-but it doesn't burn through them! Your eye is baby-free, okay?

[askjhfljkdfklhd why do I know you]

The eyebrows aren't as bad as the eye itself. Eyebrows you can always just [mimes spitting in a hand and casually slicking his eyebrow down] Eye it just stings like a bastard. So, how's your eye feel?

Fine, it's fine, just a little sore, and stop bonding with him over --

[flail]

...wait, Firebenders don't - you don't burn things with that, do you? Can you?

....That'd have bad reproductive implications, I'm just saying.
