A Father's Concern for His Son

Ozai: Do you think my son is this person the soldiers are calling the Blue Spirit?

Zhao: Yes.

Ozai: Do not harm my son. Leave him to his isolation.

Zhao: You have my word, sire. I will not harm him.

Ozai: And what of the Avatar?

Zhao: We assume he has rejoined with his supporters. It has been confirmed that he's traveling north. It is my strong belief that he is traveling to the Northern Water Tribe. I believe he has only knowledge of his birth element, air, and is trying to learn the discipline of water.
