Zuko’s imposing aura, which was intimidating even without anger, made everyone in the room stand still, afraid to make a sound. After a while, Melissa gathered her courage.

“You… What else do you want?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Zuko looked at her. Melissa was just a regular middle-aged woman, overweight and exuding no sense of sophistication. Compared to his mother, this woman appeared at least ten years older.

Zuko found it disdainful to argue with them. After a moment of silence, he simply put his luggage in the corner and went to sit on the porch.
