[SUBCONSCIOUS POST!]

[capthlock_rage]

[in a field lit by the rays of the sunset, beneath a rainbow, there is a signpost. The signs are attached haphazardly, and none are identical. Some are ornate, and some in shambles, but all of them point in different directions. If you look closer to read the words, you'll see not only places, but names, dates, intangible concepts... you name it, it's there.]

[at the foot of the signpost sits Prince Zuko, working intently on what appears to be an in-progress cross-stitch that reads: "HONOR, SWEET HONOR." A tiny raincloud hovers right above his head, drizzling on him. If you squint, it appears to have a face.]


((OOC: Because I missed the subconscious post, but still wanted to play. This is open to anyone!))

No, it's not. Most kids think that kinda stuff about their future, where they'll be and who'll be there, all that.

[capthlock_rage]

[.........kids? D:]

...oh...

[iseeyouflaming]

[WELL WE ARE]

I just...don't really think about that. I just think about us like we are now. I'm the weird one.

[capthlock_rage]

But I upset you. Seeing it upset you.

[iseeyouflaming]

That's not your fault. I'm the one in your mind, remember?

[capthlock_rage]

How is it not my fault? It was my stupid fantasy!

[iseeyouflaming]

It wasn't stupid.

[capthlock_rage]

It was you in the Fire Nation.

[iseeyouflaming]

It was me with you. That's all that should've mattered.

[capthlock_rage]

... but it's not. I do know that.

[iseeyouflaming]

[iseeyouflaming]

It can be all that matters in here. If you still want.

[capthlock_rage]

[YOU'RE TRYING SO HARD I wish I could just be happy]

I do, just... it took a long time. I don't know if I can.

[iseeyouflaming]

I'll help.

I'd really like to feed the turtleducks again.

With you.

[iseeyouflaming]

[if this were a movie, now would be our cue to smooch]

[but it's not and feelings are still happening, so let's sit down by the pond instead]

[(still holding hands)]

[capthlock_rage]

[sits with Jet, just watching the turtleducks paddle around. he's his real age again, and the rest of the garden is blurry and unfocused, but it's there]
