Zuko heard it... but pretends he didn't, indeed. All he does is glance to his uncle, but if he meets his eye, he'll just look away and sigh. After a moment's silence, he redirects slightly.
"Uncle, I need a salve, by the way. To heal raw skin. Gokudera has an injury, too — sort of," he hesitates, not sure exactly what to say about it. "He, uh— it's a long story, but he has this kind of necklace stuck on him... But it's, uh, more of a collar, like a pet would wear. It's made with some magic technology from another world but it's malfunctioning. Only one person can take it off and he's not ready to confront him about it. But the thing is rubbing his skin raw, and he told me it sends him like— pain signals... It hurts him at random. I saw the skin on his neck, I'm worried about it. Is there some kind of ointment or something he can put under his collar to help heal the skin beneath it?"
Zuko won't pretend to know much about first aid, but he'd told Gokudera he'd ask his uncle, and now seems like a topical haha get it moment to bring it up. Maybe whatever ointment Iroh is using on Zuko's leg would do the trick for Gokudera's neck, or Iroh knows some herbal remedy Zuko can deliver to the bomber... Something... Whatever the case, it's easier to redirect the conversation away from himself and Azula.
