She doesn't look innocent when she sleeps. Far from in fact, she's curled far more akin to a hound than a human, cheek cradled on her towel. Her wet hair is spread in the grass like blood, her scarred back turned towards a small fire that leaps and jumps tiredly in the growing night.

There's a plate with lunch on it as well, a sandwich with a few bites taken, a bit of fruit...it seems that the call to sleep was too great after her swim though...so, Rachel is asleep by the lake, there's room enough at the fire for more though.

"I never understood them. It's just...a symbol. It doesn't breath, it doesn't speak...anything a nation is based on should be ingrained. No one should have to look at a piece of cloth to remember" she sighed.

"They make decent shirts though"

Zuko can't agree here; he knows what it stood for. The people he loved, he wanted to protect. The Land he wasn't allowed to see anymore.

"Symbols are important to people," he says after a minute. "It can help them visualize and look toward a lot of things."

But, wait. "Shirts?"
