Aaah, thanks, anon! I'm relieved to hear that, for sure. asldga; I like to keep everyone around, even if some are quieter than others.
And I'm super happy you're enjoying Zuko so far! He is fun, but I fret. Because that's how I roll aldsghad; I don't want to go too heavy-handed with the grumpiness, even if it is for good reason that he's a grump lately - I just don't want him to descend into one-dimensional. So thank you!
