[ Zuko better put up an ad in the "poster machine" β WILL WORK FOR FOOD. Cuz he really is doomed. He won't have any problem eating the same exact foods for weeks, months, even β Sypha has helped him, but at what cost. At what cost.
He nods, eyeing the pizza in her hands dubiously. He takes note of the things in her arms... and looks down at the things in his arms... And back at hers. As he lets her lead the way to the register, he discreetly grabs a single banana on his way up. He slides up next to her and drops his things in a heap on the counter. He mumbles hello to the clerk, but preoccupies himself from further eye contact by looking at the lighters on display by the register. He picks up a black one with a tacky flame design on it. Of course. ]
What is this? What does itβ Oh!
[ Before he can finish his question to Sypha, he finds out exactly what it does by fiddling with it. He flicks his thumb across the wheel a bunch, trying to get the sparks to hold the flame, which he manages after a couple tries, much to his satisfaction. Zuko drops the lighter in his pile, too. He doesn't show it on his face with a smile or anything, but he likes that toy, even though he doesn't need it. And he does assume it's a toy for children, to be clear. ]
