"No, I don't," Peter replied to the unasked question. He put a knapsack filled with clothing on the bed. "There wasn't really any way to get them out without answering a whole bunch of questions about why I'm taking your swords."

Zuko sighed, but he could understand it. "I'll retrieve them once they release me from this place." His attention shifted to teh knapsack. "My clothes?"

"I'm not especially fond of having my sword in the weapons locker either, but how are you getting around that?" Peter asked. "And yes, exactly. Hopefully yours and not your roommate's."

"I'm not," he said absently as he picked up the sack and opened it. The colour scheme of his clothes seemed about right. "Yes, they're mine. Thank you."

"You're welcome," Peter replied. "And you're not?"

"I'll probably be leaving the island once I get out of here," Zuko closed the bag and put it aside but within his reach.

"Why?" Peter asked.

"Because I left school and I need to go home to check on my uncle," Zuko replied.

"Your uncle sent you here," Peter confirmed. "Would he want you to leave before your objective was accomplished?"

"No, but he is the only one who knows that I am here. If Azula found me, it is likely that she found him too," he pointed out.

Peter nodded. "You have to do your duty."

Zuko nodded. "I need to make sure he is alright."

Peter might have wanted to point out that Zuko's uncle had sent him here for a reason, but he, of all people, could hardly argue about wishing to protect family. "I've already offered you my sword so I won't again. But if you need it, you know where to find me."

"I do," Zuko acknowledged, realising that this was the second offer he got from someone to help find his uncle.

"Did you look at those movies you talked about the other day?" he asked, trying to change the topic as he could use a distraction.

Allowing the change of subject without comment, Peter nodded. "I found two interesting ones - ~~Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon~~ Stooping Panther, Clandestine Serpent which is Eastern fighting. And a movie of ~~The Three Musketeers~~ which is fairly old with bad swordwork, but it's funny." He offered Zuko the DVDs.

Zuko accepted them and took a moment to study the cases. He frowned thoughtfully at Stooping Panther, Clandestine Serpent. "This one looks familiar."

"Does it?" Peter asked. "I heard the bladework was excellent."

"Just the clothing and weapons," Zuko replied. "My world for some reason seems to resemble what you consider the East."

Peter nodded. "It's like Alanna and my worlds aren't linked, but our weapons and clothing styles are similar enough that I thought she was Narnian at first. Seems strange."

"It does. Pippi brought in some chinese food earlier and it tasted like home," he said with the tiniest note of nostalgia. "I suppose there are stranger things on this island."

"Tentacle demons and Booth," Peter replied with a grin. "Want to watch it?"

"Booth?" Zuko asked confused and nodded in reply to Peter's question.

Peter shook his head as he very carefully put the DVD in the player and made sure everything was turned on. "Just a joke. He's just a boy who goes to school here."

"Most students are weird," Zuko pointed out, watching as the FBI warning came on the screen. Not that he had a clue what the FBI was.

"You're not wrong," Peter, who didn't really understand what the FBI logo was either, replied. "Most in a not disturbing or evil way though."
