There was a spirit in Azure. I ... didn't really banish it. [ he feels slightly ashamed for it, not being able to rid quendi of it completely. ] I — uh, someone scared it away. [ perhaps the sight of the blue spirit, so ugly and blue, had been enough to ward it away and drive it further from the village to where it lingers today. he isn't so sure — it's something he has read, but hasn't been able to properly attain within his fingers. he isn't the avatar. he's just zuko. ]

[ he raises his arm to scratch at the back of his neck, uncertain of whether or not he's being of any use to her now. ] I had a friend who talks to spirits. He always asked them to politely stop. I don't know if it would work for you, but you could always try pelting snow at it.

I don't think that would help with the fires, though. Unless they're small.
