❰tamaki would rather die than be constrained by one colour
despite being involved in similar scenarios, tamaki certainly doesn't have anything so dire to consider leaving behind -- at least in the grand scheme of things. being a dramatic and sheltered person, he'd say that losing everything he cultivated so carefully feels like maybe he lost something akin to a war. it's like being back at square one, but at a severe detriment -- it was easier to make friends before when you didn't really have experience with losing them.
but zuko talks and it sobers him. he may not have any sort of personal empathy for something so extreme, but zuko immediately has all of the sympathy in his body. being on the lam, hidden royalty in some feudal situation is fun and games when he's watching a drama dvd, but it is still something people once lived through. something zuko was living through very recently. there might be more thought towards sides in a war, where this person in front of him stood on the scale of good and bad...but tamaki isn't automatically that kind of person. ❱
You've been through a lot, Prince Zuko. All the more reason to deserve a little break from it all. But I do understand that means losing a lot as well.
❰ like maybe his uncle, who may or may not be here, just like tamaki has no one to lean on either. for as much as this is a potentially cathartic situation, sharing his own feelings is something he'd rather not do; tamaki switches back to a less serious thread in all this: ❱
You must know a lot about tea then! I'm sure this wouldn't be up to your uncle's standards, but! Consider it an expansion of your knowledge as a tea shop boy. If it's a profession you ever wish to return to, you can share the knowledge of the modern commoner's tea-making methods. I prefer a nice gyokuro tea with milk, but there's something fun about how sweet and unoffensive they make their fruited teas.
