A/N: What with all the holiday shopping I've been doing lately, this drabble was absurdly easy to title -- the Muses' Christmas gift to me, perhaps? Concrit welcomed with a cup of the tastiest tea ever. Crossposted from nebroadwe to avatar_fans and avatarfic).

      The best tea in Ba Sing Se is brewed, now as ever, by a man named Mushi. "I don't understand why you're still calling yourself that," his visiting nephew protests.

      "Reputation in business is very important," the old man replies, pouring just enough water over the jasmine-scented leaves in the warm pot. "Everyone knows Mushi the tea-maker. Besides, it is bad luck to refuse a gift."

      "'Gift?' What gift?"

      "It was you who gave me the name Mushi, my nephew," Iroh reminds him gently.

      Zuko bows his head over the serving tray. His cup is empty, but his heart is full.
