\\\'\\\'\\\"Byakko doesn\\\'t want to fight this war,\\\" Hakoda thought out loud. \\\"Why?\\\"\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'Because it\\\'s wrong.\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\' Because they love to fight, but hate to kill. Because most of Byakko\\\'s people live on Mount Shirotora, which is a deathtrap waiting to go off if they lose too many firebenders. Take your pick.\\\" Amak scooped a thin thread of water out of thin air, braiding it between his fingers. \\\"But most of all? Because Lord Kuzon was an airbender\\\'s friend. And that child, he couldn\\\'t save.\\\" He whistled softly. \\\"You have no idea what a firebender will do to regain their honor.\\\"\\\'\\\'

-----

I\\\'m still stuck on exactly why no firebender will ever tell that to anyone else \\\'\\\'directly\\\'\\\', even when it\\\'s the only action that will keep things from exploding, and will only say it at all if they think they won\\\'t be heard. Guy who said this is a waterbender, speaking for his firebender wife. Zuko only said, \\\"My Nation isn\\\'t Zhao. My Nation isn\\\'t \\\'\\\'Sozin\\\'\\\'.\\\" when he was cursing the Ocean and there was no-one else around.

I brought this up earlier - whenever confronted, firebenders \\\'\\\'always\\\'\\\' change the subject to, \\\"yeah, we\\\'re going to die because of what we did, can we move on?\\\" Are they all that Pavlovian-conditioned to fear talking about it? They\\\'re okay with saying they\\\'ll be punished, but not with admitting guilt? Is that inherent to Fire?
