Don't Mess With His Tea

Guard #1 - "You mean he actually believed you?"
Guard #2 - "Yep"
Guard #1 - "I can't believe..." *loud crash down the hallway followed by a scream* "uh-oh!"
Both guards rush down the hall. They are met by a staggering figure in a charred Dai-Li uniform. It collapses in front of a cell holding an elderly man.
Charred Guard - *gasping* "he... he wants his tea..."
Guard #1 and 2 look at each other stunned.
Iroh *calmly sitting in his cell* - "If you two would be so kind, it seems my afternoon tea is late. Oh and could I have Ginsing? It's my favorite."
Guard #1 - "Of course sir." They bow and rush out of the dungeon. "See what your little prank did?"
Guard #2 - "I didn't think that old man would fry him. I mean he is always asking me to play Pai Sho with him."
A servant passes them. Guard #1 stops her.
Guard #1 - "I want the best Ginsing tea brought down to the cells immediately!" The servant nods and darts away.
*turning to Guard #2* "I still can't believe you told that new Dai-Li agent Azula ordered a stop to the prisoner's tea supply."


Thought the pic above deserved a little story. Basically a new recruit is given the "honor" of telling the great Dragon of the West he is no longer allowed to have tea. This makes the usually very kind and easy-going Iroh very upset. The image above is the last thing the hapless agent sees before he is charred to bits.

Pic was done for a contest at
Update 8/14/07 - I found out yesterday I won the contest. Yay!
