[JUNK. It's everywhere and getting shoved and pushed aside as Rita digs through it, muttering.]

Those...cursed coins from a week ago reminded me...Can't believe I forgot...Argh, where the hell is it?

[The camera moves around, coming into focus on not only the study but a pile of books and papers that get tossed on the floor. Whatever, they're not hers.]

Ugh! This is what happens when you put stuff away instead of leaving it out somewhere in plain sight! ...Oh yeah, so anyway...Did anyone ever find out if those lame curse tokens actually worked? I had one somewhere...Oh, whatever. This is a waste of time on something that's useless, anyway!

[It's not like it would do any good if she didn't realize she was cursed, after all. After one final sigh, Rita decides she's had enough and starts to leave when a pile of research catches her eye. It's Leon's, left untouched for a while. After eyeing it thoughtfully for a second...Rita kicks it all onto the floor.]

Whoops. Not here, either.

[The sincerity in her voice is lacking, to put it mildly. And with that, the video ends.]

[ooc: Yep, she did that on purpose. Although she knows it's pretty likely Leon's left again, she figured if anything would make him pop out from hiding somewhere, that'd be it.]

You don't need to pretend because they are something special! You also have your heart to remember! [Most definitely! Not where Zuko works, though.]

Heart, brain--the way you're talking about it, it means the same thing, doesn't it? And I don't know about you, but my memory's not so bad that I need objects to jog it. [Does Iroh do house calls?]

I'm not saying your memory's faltering. What I mean is that at some point, you value things a person left to remember them by. Some sort of a keepsake. [He should! Make sure Zuko's not the one delivering them lol.]

I-I...guess you could do that...[Haha, Zuko the delivery boy. That sounds awesome.]

And you don't call those junk. [With his ~magical~ apron on!]

Even if it is junk? [Juuuuust the apron~?]

If it's important to the owner, it's not junk. [Ohoho~ sales will definitely go up!]

Maybe not to them, but it's junk to you if you don't have any use for it. [Oh, they will! Zuko will be doing lots of house calls~]

It's not junk to me because it's not junk for the person who owns it. I respect that. [I bet he will~ Katara will come to like tea more!]

...Okay, so I respected it by moving it out of the way. [Because it's the tea that's just so nice and hot, riiight~?]

You kicked it when it was neatly stacked. [Of course, the tea. Why would she be thinking of anything else?]

It needed some reorganization. [There's no other reason, definitely! It's just so steamy--the tea, of course.]

You don't have to kick it! [Of course, of course~ so warm and delicious!]

It was quick and effective, wasn't it? [Mm, yes. Droolworthy, even.]

No, it wasn't. You just made a mess. [Especially when we take a sip~]

If you think it's such a mess, then feel free to clean it up. [Ooh, tingly~]

Like you said, that isn't my house. [Mmm, hits the spot~]

Exactly. So why should you care? [It's prepared with love, after all~]

I care for the way you act and the owner of those papers! Because it's a disrespectful move! [Yeeup~ only made by the finest Zuko-- I mean ~herbs~]

I bet you don't even know the guy who owned them! Mind your own business! [Yes, of course~ Of only the finest Fire Nation caliber!]

It doesn't matter! The important thing is, you just disrespected him by kicking at his belongings when he had already left! [The finest of them all, for sure~]
