A/N: My first foray into this fandom, written on the back of a shopping list during my evening commute (must remember to carry a notebook in future, in case of inspiration). Concrit welcomed with tea eggs. Crossposted from nebroadwe to avatarfans, avatar_fans and avatarfic).

      There are times, when the tables are full and the sweets run short and his nephew pleads with him in grating accents to hurry a pot of tea which cannot be hurried, when Iroh chuckles, though he knows the sound risks snapping Zuko's racked nerves. At other times he counsels a sensible patience: those who come to taste "the finest tea in the city" won't begrudge the wait, once the tea proves as fine as its reputation.

      But when his patrons clamor for more, Iroh cannot help but smile. At long last, he thinks, I have conquered Ba Sing Se.

*BIG GRIN*
Of course Iroh would see it like that. And Zuko has a lot to learn about subtlety of power ^_^

He certainly does. (There may be a drabble or two in that, as well ...)
