Words: 574
Rating: PG(ish? Vague references to violence)
Disclaimer: Not mine. None of it.
Summary: What would happen if Iroh opened a teashop in Fandom? Apart from the island exploding from sheer awesomeness, that is. (This is all [livejournal.com profile] woodface's fault BTW)



"Thank you for agreeing to speak to me," Aly said as she took a seat in the teashop.

"The honour is mine," Iroh said, bowing. "And it is no great hardship to pass an afternoon with a beautiful young lady. Tea?"

"Thank you," Aly replied. She rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "I have to admit that if I didn't already know you where Zuko's uncle, I wouldn't have picked up on the connection."

"What?" Iroh placed a hand over his heart. "You don't think we share the same noble and handsome features?"

Aly chuckled. "No, it's not that, it's just..." She blinked as Iroh serenely swapped the cup suddenly sporting a bullet-hole through the side for a new one mid-pour. "Well, for starters, you're a lot calmer."

***

"Prince Zuko has taken your music class twice?"

Sipping from his cup, Lorne waved one hand and wondered briefly if the old man would notice if he added a nip or two to it. "Oh sure, Zukalu loves my class."

"That is most surprising," Iroh said, stroking his beard. "He never showed any interest in music night."

"The boy's just shy," Lorne said. "I don't know why, he's got real talent that's just waiting to be brought to the surface."

"He gets that from my side of the family." Beaming proudly, Iroh took his liuqin down from its hook on the wall and began playing. "Leaves from the vine..."

Lorne hit the floor before five notes had left Iroh's mouth, just in time for the ninjas to come crashing through the doors and windows of the store.

***

"So tell me more about the time Zuko danced naked in the turtleduck pond. Are there pictures?"

"Mel!"

"And how long has he been sleeping with teddy bears?"

"Your young lady is quite the catch," Iroh chuckled. "Prince Zuko, you would be most remiss to let a girl with such spirit slip through your grasp."

"Uncle! She is not my young lady!" Zuko aimed a blast of fire at the doorway. "And this is not a good time for you to surrender to senility!"

"Even though, your uncle is kinda cracked when it comes to matchmaking, doesn't mean he's senile," Mel paused in the middle of literally disarming the robot with its own buzz-saw. "He's actually pretty rocketship."

Zuko wondered if there was any way sending a stray fire-dagger in her direction could be passed off as an accident.

***

"I have to admit there are many thing about this place I find most confusing. For instance, I have been hearing something about a Fire Lady?"

Katara was grateful the pirates chose that moment to attack.

***

"Neat trick, old man." Lowering her rifle, Tex warily poked the crispy-fried corpse of a particularly determined assassin. "Looks like you have something of problem here, though."

"These men will not bother me again," Iroh pointed out. "I do not see a problem."

"The problem is that I'm supposed to handle all the assassinations in these parts." Tex did not sound the least bit whiny or petulant as she muttered that, and anyone claiming she did was liable to not have kneecaps for very long afterwards. "You have any idea who sent them?"

Iroh sighed and shook his head as he looked around the wreckage of the Jasmine Dragon, formerly known as the Perk. "If only young master Gavin would at least try my tea. So much like my nephew, that boy."
