[Loki falls silent again, considering the question. When he thinks of that time, that life that wasn't a life, it's still all too vivid. And that cold rage is still there, at home with his own anger at the injustices of his life.
But this rage is stronger in its own way, more pure. Perhaps because it is not just for him, but for a daily that never existed. For murdered children he never had. It's confusing, but undeniable.
And something else is undeniable: Iroh is from the Fire Nation. Perhaps someone he might have cooperated with once Aang and Katara had forced him to abandon the path of bloody vengeance, but...hah. To ask that question.
And that too, is confusing. Everything thus makes him feel is confusing, from such a simple question.
The anger does not show in his face, not the confusion, but there is a certain sense of distance that comes to his expression as he considers these things, idly turning his tea cup in his hands.
Finally, he says:]
I was a water bender of the Southern Water Tribe. What do you think it was like?
