Lina giggled and playfully tugged at his ear. "Doraemon doesn't seem to have ears, though?"
"I'm different." Zuko's eyes were smiling. "I'm Lina's exclusive Doraemon, the only one in the world! That's why I have ears."
"What do you need ears for?"
Zuko leaned closer, his nose nuzzling her small face, his voice husky. "To... obey your every command!"
Lina's heart warmed, and she hugged him. With him by her side, she would no longer be afraid of anything.
They entered the Thompson residence hand in hand. There seemed to be quite a few people in the living room.
Before Zuko could even see who was there, he heard Toph's enthusiastic voice booming. "Hey, bro!"
Zuko paused. "You're here as well?"
"Of course. Since you're accompanying your wife back to her family, can't I come to see my dearest Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda?"
Toph was still the carefree young man he used to be. Their argument at the horse ranch seemed to have been quickly forgotten.

Zuko glanced at the sofa. Sure enough, his concern had come to pass. Toph had completely ignored their advice.
Sitting on the sofa were not only Renee but also Kaitlyn.
Zuko furrowed his brow slightly, exchanging a puzzled glance with Lina. They held an unspoken question in their eyes.
"Mr. Zuko!" Kaitlyn greeted him politely with a gentle smile.
Zuko nodded slightly and sat on the opposite sofa with Lina.
Nicholas served his daughter and son-in-law the best tea.
