“Desiree, there are some things I must clarify with you. We had a childhood connection, but we’ve grown up now.” Zuko paused and enunciated each word. “There’s a difference between men and women!”

Zuko smiled. “Do you understand what I mean now?”

“Are you trying to say that pure friendships exist between men and women?” Zuko smirked. “But I think that’s the most irresponsible thing to do in a relationship!”

“Zuko…”

“Of course, normal interactions are completely reasonable, but anything that exceeds the normal range…” There was a pause before Zuko uttered heavily, “Have some self-respect!”
