Zuko is - strong, reliable, and someone that makes you feel as though that if you stumble, he'll right you back up. Right? [he smiles a little bit, tilting his head] He's a bit awkward... and it's funny, because he's actually quite easy to tease.
In comparison, Hak would be the one teasing others. You were especially a target of his - but I think it was a testament of how well you two got along.
[his voice is so fond, it's so gross.]
But... they're both very good people. Very loyal people.
there it is again - that strange, unwanted tightness in her heart. why does it hurt to hear soo-won talk about hak that way? she doesn't know who he is, but he's clearly important to him, so - why?
he's allowed to have people who are important to him.
she ignores it, and tries to keep it off her face. it's her feeling to grapple with, not soo-won's at least he can't feel it this week.]
Zuko IS really easy to tease. He puts up with a lot from us.
...I don't know if I'd like getting teased by Hak, but I must have liked him in spite of it if I didn't get him thrown out of the palace for it.

anyway.]
.... fufu. You did. Even though you always hated admitting it - and he was under the impression that you didn't like him that much. Even still....
You were both very close - every time I came to visit the palace. You would have jokes together. [sure, that's how it was]
I believe he might even be your betrothed, based on what you told me.
[I FORGOT HE BELIEVED THIS UNTIL THIS MOMENT]

Yona...? What is it?

[it takes her a little longer than it should to type the message and turn the phs to show him]
Father had said that I would marry whoever he chose as his successor, but he hadn't made that choice before he was killed.
no subject
... Hak would have been a rather excellent successor, if he were to trust in him.
[but.
he reaches out then to rest a hand atop her head]
.... though perhaps now - the choice is yours.

[she might have been chased out of the palace, but -
she's still her country's princess, after all. she wants to protect it, and the people who live there.]
no subject
That you have already done so, and whatever more you do, I'm sure will be splendid.
no subject
[what's the point of all she's done so far if she doesn't keep going?]
no subject
... well, I can't think of reason to stop you. Just be careful.
[if it means the kingdom will prosper - why not let a few bandits do as they will?]

[she's got people to help her, anyway!]
