Gossip Lord Zuko
by RejectsCanon
Zuko was probably more involved in the gossip around the palace than he had any right to be. It’s not his fault, it’s really not. It’s just that sometimes he’s sitting in the kitchens (the best place to get the gossip) drinking tea and trying to relax for once, and some of the kitchen staff will start gossiping where he can still hear them. He doesn’t really try to listen in; it’s not his place and he won’t judge the staff based on whatever rumors are running around, but Spirits is it interesting. He tries not to listen too much, or get too invested in it though. Gossip is gossip after all, and rumors hardly ever turn out to be true. But Zuko absolutely needs to know if Maya from the laundry room broke up with her piece of shit boyfriend. Or, 5 times Zuko got invested in/meddled in palace gossip, and 1 time he was the subject of the gossip.
