[He had been left in the outskirts of the village after they had finished with him. It had been a particularly difficult couple of weeks while they were there. They had tested his physical limits, pain endurance, capability of his powers, and seemingly just what it would take to make him cry out in pain. Exhausted was an understatement, he felt thoroughly drained and doubted their claims that it would somehow help. They had enjoyed the process it seemed to him.
Laying on the ground there he contemplated just taking a nap right here. It would be delightful to just rest now, but people would be worried, and the comparative safety and comfort of the house would be welcome. Thankfully it seemed at least he would be able to communicate, the journal was right beside him. Lifting a stiff arm he flips it on.
He starts to try and say something for a moment before coughing for a few seconds, and takes an audible breath in. He winced as he took it in, seemed like that would take a little bit of time to heal]
H-hello, I hope I haven't worried anyone too much..
[He clears his throat and puts a little more volume in it]
This is Iroh, I'm in the forest, I can't tell exactly whereabouts. Normally I would find my own way back, but I am feeling a bit under the weather. I would appreciate any assistance, and if it is not too much to ask, a good cup of tea.
[A fortnight without tea was quite barbaric as well]

[Apparently he had missed a lot of strange things]
Well, that would be quite the experience certainly.

[And it probably wasn't nearly as bad as what Iroh went through. Speaking of...]
He was worried about you, you know. I'm sure he'll be relieved to hear you have returned.

Mmmmm. Hopefully he wasn't too stressed about it.

Also, I think you know the answer to that. He seemed calmer when I spoke to him.

With your guidance, I'm sure he'll be a fine ruler.

Well, I simply gave him a bit of a push in the right direction. He already had a good heart.

But just as important is to have good men to stand with him.

Those he has gotten close to are some of the best people to keep him grounded.
