Zuko's quiet for a long moment, trying to process those words with all the new information and new perspectives he'd been given today, from Aang, from Gokudera, from Azula, from Iroh... all the people he turns to for new information and new perspectives. Just. Not usually all at once. He's overwhelmed.
"...No one protected Azula from Father," he says decisively, after his ruminative pause, not meeting Iroh's eye. "Mother left to protect me. But for Azula, she just left." He pauses once more, then turns his gaze to Iroh at last, something painful in it, the same vague and painful something tugging at the tone of his voice.
"...I know the whole story now. Do you want to know what really happened?"
