You know -- the kids may be familiar but the man carrying them isn't.
Enter, one young man, probably about seventeen, maybe getting on toward eighteen. Dressed in jeans; a rather frail looking figure. While there's immediate upper body strength -- got to have it, what with the baby-jumper that accomodates not one, but two kids (Hana at the front, looking out from Daddy's chest, and Loo in the back, set higher so she can look over Daddy's shoulder) -- and .... the rest of him...
Well; he walks like he's been hobbled, his hands are missing fingers but are otherwise dexterous, and at the back of his neck, there is a big, black H carved into the skin...
He blinks once, twice, and thne goes, "...what in the name of the spirits is going on here?"
THis isn't, last he checked, Apartment 202. Nor is it, he suspects, his own world that he just accidently got returned to. Bars never looked like this where he came from.
Still, he's pretty used to dealing with things as they came, so this is no different. One hand protective on Hana's chest, he hobbles away from passers-by and looks... a little lost.
Zuko's returned to Milliways... but it's not the Zuko anybody remembers.
