[The PCD is jostled on to audio in time for an almighty crash to register. It skitters across the ground, cracks against a stone, and the video function is triggered. Break is on his hands and knees on the street, looking more irritated than anything else. He pats his pockets, realizes the device is missing, and sighs.

Slowly, he begins the process of patting his hands along the ground, investigating with his fingers what shapes seem lighter or darker than others to his ruined eyesight. He is- for once in his life- utterly silent.

Attempt to make it to the clinic: firmly derailed. Though he was getting close, from the looks of the buildings around him.]



[ooc notes: this will be a fairly non-responsive PCD post. Break has been having trouble with his vision for months, and now the event has also taken away his ability to hear as well. He won't be able to respond to comments via PCD, but the hope is someone will realize this and come find him, be it for good or for evil. Or just to laugh at him via the feed.]

[He stoops in front of Break, slowly, to rest a hand on the man's shoulder.]

Break?

[He says it quietly, but clearly. By the way the man is moving, it's obvious he's lost what remains of his sight or his hearing. Marvelous.]

[No response to the sound- but the touch startles him badly. He makes a wild swing through the air with the cane, half likely to just miss him entirely, blind and unable to even judge the position of his head by the sound of his voice.]

[It's lucky that Zuko is used to having to move quickly or face the consequences, because he jerks his head backwards with a started yelp.]

Break -- dammit, you can't hear anything --

[He quickly rolls his wrist to create a ball of fire in his hand, to hopefully catch what remains of the man's sight.]

It's Zuko, I'm not going to hurt you.

[Break's gaze flickers sharply. He looks at the spot of light in his vision, and reaches toward it tentatively- pulling his hand away quickly at the heat.]

Zuko?

[Slurred, and over-loud. He can't hear himself speak it, even though he remembers how.]

[And the flame is gone, replaced by Zuko's warm hand on his shoulder to shake it slightly.]

Yeah. Come on.

[Break nods, and takes a step forward, ready to follow him. The clinic is optional- really, he just wants to be somewhere sheltered.]

[Zuko has Break's forearm in a hand to guide him, to make sure he doesn't trip and run into anything. He's not sure how to ask Break what he wants, but it looked like he was heading to the clinic. So he will.]

Event?

[He manages to say, quietly. Please, God, let it be an event.]

[Break murmurs in ragged relief. Good.]

Home.

[He gently tugs Break along, moving him out of the way of any obstacles along the way.]

This event sucks after all, I guess.

[Not that Break can hear, but it makes Zuko feel better.]

[Break makes an agreeable sound- no idea what's being said, just a hunch.]

[Feel lucky that at least Zuko is unaffected. Pretty much everyone else is, Break.]

Hungry-

[He is damn lucky- he knows Zuko must be only minorly affected, if at all- if he's leading him this assuredly, can hear his requests.]

Hungry. Right.

[Zuko will have Katara make him something. His own cooking skills are not that great.]

[Fairly sure that Zuko has just agreed with him, Break goes quiet again and just follows along. He should have looked for him sooner. It's nice, having housemates like this.]

[Housemates are always a great thing to have, especially when they do cool stuff like shoot fire from their fingertips. ♥

He guides Break back home more or less uneventfully -- a stray rabbit or two had to be chased off with a burst of fire -- but he leads Break up the steps and sits him in a chair.]

[Break sits as he's moved, slumped and rather lifeless- and so very, very quiet.]

[It only takes Zuko a moment or two to make tea and find some biscuits. He's not a great cook -- Katara can make a proper meal once he finds her -- but it'll do for now.]

[Break inhales deeply. The scent is a welcome texture in the blankness.]
