"zuko!" she bounces with a wave of her hand towards him, wearing a new hairstyle. "what do you think? a nice lady did my hair for me. don't i look like a fire nation human now?" in spite of the bright-red color and ocean-blue eyes .. still, ariel gives a twirl to show off her new hairstyle.
Zuko’s golden eyes soften the moment he sees her. The new elegant style… suits her in a way that unexpectedly tugs at his heartstrings.
He stares at her, mouth open for a second, before smiling warmly. He doesn't say anything right away, because seeing her so proud and beautiful affects him deeply. He was…. happy to see her like this.
He finally manages to speak, with a slight blush on his face, but this time he doesn't hide it: "…You're… beautiful."
His voice is low and sincere, full of quiet admiration. He steps closer without thinking and gives a slight regal bow in respect.
