[ Zuko has no idea what's running through Gino's mind at the moment. He knows so little about his life back home, or what kind of relationship he had with his father. Only that he must have loved him, and that he was probably a good person. He keeps his gaze diverted downward, never quite knowing what to say or do, but not wanting to leave him alone during such a difficult time.
What he says doesn't really make sense to him, but that's okay. Zuko has the feeling Gino is speaking mostly to himself, and Zuko just has the privilege of being the comforting shoulder. It was all he could hope to be, and certainly wouldn't make up for Gino's loss. ]
We're going to get through it. They're not going to break us.
[ He finally says after a long, long moment. Zuko hesitates only briefly before raising his hand and placing it on Gino's shoulder. He gives his shoulder a light squeeze. ]
You're not alone.
[ They may not know each other that well, but they were in this together. ]
