[Gawd, Tadashi, how dare you? He's a prince, man. Assistant -- that's almost as bad as when he had to be just a lowly tea boy. Still, he realizes it's probably not fair to get annoyed when this man doesn't even know who he is.]
My name is Zuko. I'm the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation and heir to the throne.
[He'd say he's the prince "back home," except for the fact that he doesn't see it that way. He isn't the Crown Prince just back home, he's the Prince wherever he is, regardless of how far he is from home.]
[He successfully draws the omnicom away from himself and holds up a hand, creating a strong, perfect little flame, one that's perfectly in control. Then he clenches his fist and snuffs it out.]
I still have my Firebending, just like I did back home, and it mostly works the same way.
[It's a touch more powerful but still within his control.]
I've trained since I was a kid to learn how to control it. And I've trained someone else in Firebending, too. He learned a lot in a short amount of time, just like he needed to.
[A pause.]
Basically, I know my stuff. If you want to learn control, I can teach you, and I can probably do a better job than someone with an entirely different power.
[Seriously, shadow-bending? What even was that? He'd seen Umbra in action when the Legion had pinned him down and finally talked him down. She was good but that wasn't even close to being like Firebending.]
