EXT. ZUKO’S SHIP – MAIN DECK – DAY
WIDE ON: ÏROH sits at a SHOGI TABLE, playing against another crewman. ZUKO comes bursting onto the deck.
ZUKO
Captain, set our course for the Southern Water Tribe.
CLOSE ON: ÏROH looks up at ZUKO, confused by his order.
CAPTAIN (O.S.)
Yes, sir.
ÏROH
What brought this on?
ANGLE ON: ZUKO approaches his uncle.
ZUKO
Uncle, I’ve seen him! The Avatar!
ÏROH
Where?
ZUKO
That light! The source has to be one of immense power!
ÏROH
You don’t know what it was.
ZUKO
(angrily)
What else could it have been?
ÏROH
An apparition caused by the celestial lights. A simple figment of our racked minds.
ANGLE ON: ZUKO groans and walks away from his uncle.
ANGLE ON: ÏROH looks after him as ZUKO walks off to the railings.
ÏROH
It was only a light.
ZUKO
No! It was more than that. It was him. We’re going after it.
ANGLE ON: ZUKO approaches ÏROH’S SHOGI TABLE.
ZUKO (CONT’D)
I need to start training again.
ÏROH
Then go back inside and finish your meditation!
CLOSE ON: ZUKO stares angrily at ÏROH.
ANGLE ON: ÏROH holds up a small pocket clock.
ÏROH
Fifteen minutes. At least.
