Book 3: Ash - Episode 3: The King

So the Chongs are currently being stored in a... empty uh like freight car like this this was not a car meant for people this was a car meant for all of the goods being spread across the earth kingdom so what once held the aid for zigan village is now the home to at least 15 chongs i think

I think Hanako walks into the Chong car, right? And she looks a little uncomfortable, right? Like, she understands how to handle Chong, right? But, like, 15 of him is still alive.

And I don't know.

She's looking around.

I think she's identified Chong Sr., but he's like in the middle of talking to somebody or playing his instrument or something.

And he just she's just sort of hanging on the sidelines.

And I don't think she I think she needs him to approach her.

Yeah, you walk in and, you know, the whole family's having a jam session.

They're playing their instruments.

They're playing...

Wait, no, no, I know what he's singing.

He's singing, you know, the don't let the cave-in get you down.

But he's singing, don't let the train ride get you down.

They're trying to cheer up, what's his name? Halen.

Halen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're all around Halen and he's all grumpy and Dorji made him like a little flower crown.

So yeah, you walk into this site and Chong Sr. does not notice you, but Dorji does.

She sees you out of the corner of her eye and stops playing her flute and is like, Hanako, come on in, come on over.

Okay.

Yes, hello.

Hanako hesitantly approaches the group.

Chong Sr. stops his playing, sets down his mandolin, and he's like, Hey.

Hey, Fire Nation lady.

What's up? Hi.

I hold a great deal of respect for your son.
