[ What. the Fuck. He had to reread this at least twice before he could stop sputtering and gaping at his phone. He... can't tell if this is supposed to be funny or not, which is a problem he often struggles with, but right now he's really thrown for a loop. Is he... asking for help with a quest? Could he be in danger? No way, he's joking, he must be — he genuinely can't tell very well, especially over text on these devices... which adds a whole other shade of "alarming" in itself.
An astronomically better sport than he was even just a couple months ago, Zuko... rolls with it? What the fuck else can he do? ]
dear taichi nanao,
this text was bewildering but ok i will be there at 7 are you both okay.....?
sincerely, fire prince zuko
[ Zuko is no less fucking awkward and isn't even sure himself if his own message is a joke or not?! As far as Taichi knows, to boot, "fire prince" is just his corny dweeby username, maybe some odd nickname he's given himself, and so has no clue Zuko's really matching him somewhat earnestly in this formality, too completely baffled out of any other reaction than a sincere one. He hopes Taichi is joking; he hopes he's joking! What is going to happen at 7?! Why does he need to be brave?! These are the normal guys! What could possibly be happening with them?! And what about a fated date?! He'd ask if they're safe but it implies they are, yet— still in crisis somehow, clearly. But not danger? He's ready to defend his friends but this doesn't... seem like that kind of scenario somehow. Something doesn't quite add up. Well, a lot doesn't. Not commenting on Lord of the Hot Squat. He'd prefer Sifu Hotman over that... ]
