I'm in the library. It's quiet in here, and I like it. The chairs are so soft.

I wandered in here because as much as I like being outside, I get bored and hungry. Sometimes even I need a little downtime. Those fights I had were fun and all, but I just need some time for myself.

[Pause, then the sound of flipping through pages of a book, then in a sarcastic tone;] These are real interesting. Are they even worth your time? Why would people stay in here and read rather than go outside and do actual stuff?

Sometimes I wonder if I'd be any different if I could see. Obviously, I would be, but I mean... Books. Fireworks. Faces. This castle. They're just words to me. I don't know what they look like, but do I want to know? Are they that special?

[A long pause as she takes in what she just said, then a scoff] Wow. What brought that on? Eh, whatever. I'll just keep stacking these books up 'til they reach the ceiling.

I don't know, maybe the castle made me think like this. [A laugh]

It's entertaining, Princess. You should try it sometime.

... Are you mocking me?!

I don't think so. I have stuff to do.. that's productive.

Maybe. Why? There a problem?

Productive. Huh. Imagine that. What's productive for you?

Ye-- [a sigh] We all have our faults, our limits, and we can't do anything about them but work around them. There's nothing... you can do about your limitations, but you've found ways to turn weaknesses into strengths.

Which is impressive for someone who finds joy in picking their nose and feet.

And the answer is no, you wouldn't be any different if you could see. You'd still be the annoying, stubborn, moody, little girl you are.

Training.

...That was very heartfelt, Princess, thank you for that. My blindness does makes me stronger.

...And there's a lot of joys in doing those things, okay? I bet you anything YOU pick your nose sometimes, just in private.

Annoying? Stubborn? Moody? Are you describing yourself, too?

Training. Meditating. Yup, heard all this before.

............. You make this hard.

[a long pause] I DO NOT! That's disgusting!

... No. Stop that!

It's better than sitting around doing nothing but stack books all day. When was the last time you trained?

Picking your nose is hygienic, Zuko. You care way too much about what other people think. With that attitude, you'll just end up insecure.

Don't worry. At least I can admit that I'm all those things, so you should too.

I trained... well, I do everyday by getting up, Earthbending myself to the kitchen to get something to eat, Earthbending a day bed to rest, Earthbend myself to the kitchen to get lunch, back to the greenhouse... that's all considered training to me.

Oh, and I fight occasionally. That's training, too.

I don't care about what other people think, I still think all of that is disgusting.

Fine. I'm stubborn.

What did I tell you?

What's more disgusting, me picking my feet, or my feet getting so dirty and rough that it makes you want to puke by just looking at them?

And moody. [You can tell she's smiling]

You told me that I'm awesome and should keep fighting with whoever picks a fight with me.

Yeah, well, instead of picking them, why don't you just wash yourself like any other normal person would.

I'm not moody. I get angry, there's a difference!

I never said that. Stop making things up!

'Cause what's the satisfaction in that? Washing is boring. Picking leaves a nice feeling.

Same thing to me!

Whatever, Dad. You're not the boss of me.

Then take your picking habits out on something else! Like grass! I don't know, okay?!

It's not. Moody means your mods fluctuate.

Don't call me that, and I know I'm not! One of these days you'll-- ARGH!

Grass? That's so dumb! Just leave it, and if it annoys you so much, I'll pick my feet in PRIVATE. Happy?

Then you have that, since it's happening now.

What'll happen one of these days? You think I'll lose or something? 'Cause you're wrong!

Augh! I don't care if you pick your feet in front of me, I was just suggesting something else!

NO, IT ISN'T!

No, you'll get hurt! WHY ARE YOU SO [a sound that is equivalent to aksllkajskjlasd]

I'm assuming that you meant to finish with "infuriating".
