"Of course not," Lin answered a little to fast. Crap Lin recomposed herself, "I've never seen her before, but I've heard about her from Luu."
"Yes. Why?" Zuko replied, a bit cautious of her answer. He wasn't sure what her intentions were asking him. He did fight her, but he felt she wasn't really using sword skills. It was like she was using something else to carry her through.

"Oh I see," Jun nodded, growing a little suspicious of Lee. Then he realized something.
"Wait, if you don't know how Lin looks like then isn't it better if I return the pin?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Erm... Do you think it'd be possible if you could teach me then?" Luu requested. "You see, I can wield the katana, but I know I'm not really using it at all. So, I was wondering if you could teach me properly, how to use it that is."

"I'm seeing Luu soon. I can give it to Luu," Lin repeated.
"Of course he'd like to go on a date with you!" Iroh answered for Zuko as he brought out the tea.
"Uncle..." Zuko groaned, then turned back to Chen, "Sure. Why not. I thought your sword work was a little strange.

"Oh, alright," Jun replied sounding a little disappointed.
"Well, night then," he said falling back into his bed.
"Oh! It's not a date Mushi," Luu shook her head, her face feeling a little warm, then returned back to 'Lee'. "Really? That'd be great!"
The trio sat and chittered, well, mostly it was Iroh talking, and soon enough it was time for Luu to head home.
"Thank you for the tea, I'll see you both tomorrow then~" She smiled, politely bowing slightly before waving farewell.

Days later...
"Where are we going Luu?" Lin asked who was a girl today.
"So how is your training with Chen?" Iroh asked as he began opening the tea shop.
"Fine. Would it be crazy..." Zuko began, then decided to continue, "If I said I think Chen may be from the fire nation as well?"
"Why would you think that?" Iroh asked, sweeping the front door.
"She moves like a fire bender, not a sword master," Zuko replied, setting up the chairs.
"Well, you could just be overly paranoid?"
Zuko looked at his uncle. "Maybe."

"Well, we're going to be meeting up with someone," Luu smiled, guiding the older girl along. "Ah! There he is! Heyy!"
Jun waited, he came a little early, but he was nervous and excited. Then he heard a voice call for him and he turned, his face transforming into a smile.
"Hey Luu, hi Lin," he smiled.
"You know Prince Zuko," Iroh began to point out something crucial in his words. "Did you ever think that she doesn't move like a sword master because she isn't one? That's why she asked you to teach her?" Iroh shook his head. "Though, why did she want you to teach her?"

Lin's face froze as she earth bended another poke at Luu.
"Hello," Lin managed to greet back and hissed into Luu's ear, "What the hell is this?"
Zuko set down the chairs. "That's exactly what I wonder."

Luu scowled.
"One day I'll get you back Lin," she muttered, her words like daggers. Then, her vibe suddenly returned to a more chipper one.
"Well, I've got to get to work, so I'll see you two later~!" Luu grinned running off, waving. After that, she dashed to work hoping she wouldn't be late.
"So I'm thinking Luu never told you that we would be meeting today?" Jun asked noticing Lin's expression. "I didn't know she had work today, actually."

"No. I didn't know at all," Lin answered.
She dared not to meet his eyes. What if he figured out it was her?
"Well then, since Luu is going to work. I have no reason to be here. I shall take my leave now."
"Hello," Zuko greeted as Luu came in, her face flushed with excitement, "Did something happen?"

"Oh, er, would you like to grab something to eat first?" Jun asked. It wasn't suppose to work out this way, though he couldn't get why she was so against him in the first place.
"Oh, it's nothing," Luu smiled, shaking her head. Truthfully, she couldn't differentiate whether she was excited to go to work, or just excited about her plot with Jun and Lin. Blargh, whatever.

"Oh...um," Lin thought for a bit. She actually had a huge crush on Jun, but she dared not tread those waters.
She stared his face and wished she could of met him first as a girl, instead of knowing him as Lee. How was she suppose to face him? She couldn't have a normal relationship with him, but this was her chance to feel like a girl.
"Oh ok," Lin agreed shyly.
"I see. Well, here," Zuko said, handing her a broom, "Sweep."

"Great! I hope you don't mind if it isn't a fancy restaurant," Jun smiled brightly as he led her along. It was a family-run restaurant that he really liked to eat at when he had his days off from duty. They got a table, Jun ordering them two bowls of noodles, well there wasn't really anything else, but noodles anyways. It was a noodle house, what'd ya expect?
"So... Do you live near here?" He asked conversationally.
"Alright~" Luu answered in a sing-song voice. Strangely she felt a little 'daring' today. Probably it was a remnant effect of setting Lin up. As the working day ended, Luu's sword lessons begun.
"So, what will you be teaching me today Master Lee?" Luu teased with a smile on her face. Over the course of the few days, Luu had become accustomed to Zuko's behaviour, and in a way also, he became a little less a**l about her.

Lin nodded in agreement. She loved noodles. She looked around where they were. It was lower Ba Sing Se and there was plenty of people around.
"Yes," Lin answered, as they waited for their food, "You're a soldier?"
Zuko's eye twitched, but he drew his own swords.
"Sparring," he replied and came at her.

"Yeah, good guess," he smiled as the meal arrived. Jun breathed it the smell of the noodles and his stomach grumbled in response.
"So... You and Luu are close friends huh?"
"Sparring eh?" Luu repeated with a slightly raised eyebrow. "Wanting a rematch I see." She joked a bit, but inside she knew that she would be the loser of this match. Oh well, she might as well have fun with it. With their skilled movements it would almost seem like they were dancing in a way. Or at least to an outsider it would.

"Hm, yes. You could say that," Lin replied, absentminded.
She was picking out Jun's mushrooms as she knew Jun didn't like them. She stopped. Lee was supposed to know that, not Lin. She laughed out of character at Jun's face and smiled.
"Sorry, did you want these? I just really like them," she explained, being as natural as possible.
Zuko could see she had improved, but she was no match for the master. Soon she was on the ground, defeated and he stood looking down at her. Her movements were so much of a fire bender. He even purposely moved like a fire bender to match her. He wondered if he could ask, but thought it was too much for now.
"You improved," Zuko told her instead.
