[ He's so animated about this, oh no, Zuko... But Zuko hasn't even managed lightning yet! Not that he's some expert Avatar with his magic types yet, but he'd hope at least his native elements would be available to him... He'd been having so much trouble with fire that he didn't even consider fully that he could do lightning independently. It's so ingrained in his mind that lightningbending (and bending-adjacent) powers are tip-top tier, Azula and Ozai-level stuff beyond his capacity, something he needed to learn to defend himself from rather than learn himself... He knows it's not the same, but it's such an impressive and rare feat in his culture that he can't help his amazement. ]
No, no! Don't stop! I can redirect lightning! Back home— Uncle taught me how... And here, I have siphoning magic now! I, uh— I don't know how to use it yet, but practice is practice! It's fine, keep going! I mean— try not to shoot me, but uh...
[ He readies his stance to redirect and defend himself just in case, a look of pure determination and excitement on his face. Crazy prince. ]
