Zuko's in a hurry on his way to the forge. The sooner he has real swords, the sooner he can get back to training.

(He could always use pretend ones in the Sensorium, but that feels like cheating.)

On the way, he's thinking of what, exactly, he's going to pay Dustin with. They danced around the subject of reimbursement, but Zuko knows, nothing's ever free.

Zuko has made a point of it not to say no to sparring partners. There are worse ways to stay in practice or preparing for fights with more people, like Choline, whose styles and abilities he won't know in advance.

"Excellent." She smiled. "And we might learn a thing or two along the way."

"Yeah. I'll see you later. When?"

"Anytime. Today, tomorrow, next week..." She shrugged. "I'm pretty flexible, and I don't get up to much. Reading, or playing with my herbs in the Hydroponics place."

She put her daggers back and held open her hands as though showing herself off. "I'm not that easy to miss, really. Send me a message on the magic box and we can figure something out."
