Roku—who had not yet learned to mask his true emotions—clearly didn’t want to be there either, but he was too polite and too passive to extricate himself. Sozin would have to save him.
Great way to set the scene and the early dynamic between the two friends and what will likely show up as a recurring theme for their relationship. With Sozin being a bit more forthright but rude and Sozin being overly deferential. I wonder how this will culminate.
