[Uri moves, but comes right back to sit against the arm of the sleeper, leaning against Gokudera to comfort him. He reaches up with his unoccupied hand to stroke over the leopard's head.
He's writing, but not hurriedly. Just... trying to gather himself. He has a lot to think about.]
[ Zuko watches him pet the cat idly, writing all the while. It strikes him as odd. He doesn't feel brushed off — Gokudera is asking him questions, clearly listening. But Zuko's so singleminded, himself, it's curious to him the boy can multitask this way, and so his eyes are fixed on him with a strange expression mixing with his already resting scowl. He's never seen Gokudera write in front of him, though he knows the boy journals. He continues as he takes his seat, sitting at the edge stiffly, a tentative tone to his voice. ]
Azula is... upset. She was mad I invited Aurora over— I mean, Aurora invited herself over... And Azula's mad that I went along with her stupid post. But she was furious Aurora came over.
[ He finally pries his eyes off Gokudera and leans back in his seat limply, eyes drifting up at the ceiling in frustration, sighing, a deeper weight to his voice as he writes off the topic. ]
[Each symbol drawn would look like he's doodling to most everyone. Zuko knows about G-Script, though, and the bomber is quite practiced. He's got different ways of approaching his magic, his fighting techniques, but right now it's all just about how he feels. He may not be listening as well to Zuko as he usually would, but he glances at him between sentences. Maybe some of what the firebender says will make it onto the pages for him to look over and think on later.]
Doesn't sound like it should be your problem. She wanted money or food, right? Not wanting someone to actually care that much and go for it. Or maybe she was just angry that Aurora saw through her lie and yet still wanted to be there for you. Maybe Azula thought she should be the one to take care of both of you and that was her way of doing it...
It's all maybes. I haven't had people bicker over my care for a long time.
[And now that he thinks on it, he doesn't miss it. Having people want his attention was nice, but he wouldn't give up his independence. Not even if that meant he could have Takeshi back and admitting that he's property. Gokudera frowns once he's done talking, mind wandering back into what he was brooding about when he initially got Zuko's text.]

...It's hard to explain.
