Mmm. [in soft agreement with Zuko, delicately stirring his tea, his familiar perched on the handle of the teacup] I do tend to believe these things should be kept behind closed doors - I'd not appreciated how technology rather tends to frustrate privacy. But better me than someone else.
[the blush is still apparent on his cheek - hardly unwilling to talk but certainly tiptoeing about his words. They're still in public.]
He was remarkably good about it, though it was his culture in the first place. I was always quite comfortable with Katze. I think he learned more about me in that evening than I might have preferred to give on a first meeting - I did attempt to revive my image by serving him tea, but it does not change that that was his very first impression of me...!
[he was raised to ensure that guests to the house were properly received - but it does seem even more ridiculous, once he says it. A laughing shake of his head]
That was simply the way of things in Amoi - these things would so often end up public, anyway, for this or that reason, and it was no help that I didn't understand the technology, which may as well have been magic to me. And now I find myself here. I'm coming to understand how very different it is.
