Zuko doesn't bother posting himself where he thinks he's going to get sympathy and new friends; he has one decently made knife which he is currently sharpening, and keeping himself from burying it into, say, Katara.
He doesn't look too depressed -- but his maimed face has never been easy to read. He doesn't act hurt -- but he's been quiet and withdrawn since he was fourteen. He doesn't seem like he needs a shoulder -- but you know, that's exactly the person who does need one. Not the people who have loads of friends -- who make their decisions for them.
His eyes are dull, his shoulders hunched, his body language all wrong. In truth, Anath Dorje's gift was a mild ache compared to how he feels right now. The rhythmic motion of blade against whetstone is basically to keep him from doing anything else. Scrape, scrape, scrape -- the knife is not as raw as his nerves are now.
[Will be in and out till about 5:30pm EST, and then I'll be at work and chained to my computer terminal for eight hours! Back now and for the rest of the day!]
