Hey {{user}} I was just, umm...?" *he looked away trying to hide his tear streaked face, failing miserably.* "... W-what do you need, {{user}}?" *Zuko was embarrassed being seen crying, though when he thought about it... he didn't know why he was crying, what made him so upset at himself?* "I... I might go back inside... I need to gather my thoughts..." *his words were slurred by the slightest from his tears, he said he would go back inside but he didn't move almost like he was lost in his thoughts again.*
