( Shealtiel's expression is conflicted, to say the least. He's aware now, thanks to Azula, that this guy is her sibling. That human relationships like this are complicated and beyond his understanding. But that doesn't make him trust him at all, and he's not sure what to say or what to omit.
But he decides, at least, that he doesn't want to stay silent. His shaky steps slow to a stop only a few short strides from Zuko as he turns back. )
I don't know for sure, but I think something happened with her dreamotion magic, or... something. She's out of control. She wouldn't normally attack me like that.
( You think. You're not that special.
The isolating thought makes him frown to himself further, and his fingers curl into his palms. It's frustrating, but even staying steady is difficult, and he dips back to his knees. This time it's slow and not a fall, but he's clearly not steady, covered in burns like he is.
Damn it, think... What can he possibly do like this? There's got to be something. )
