Zuko shakes his head. "It might, but it also might hurt. It's one thing to subdue the Earth Kingdom and take the Dai Li as personal guards. But, with me unable to tell anything about my father's nobles, I don't dare take guards from outside the Fire Nation yet."

He wants to. He really does, but he doesn't dare as of yet. Maybe, in a few months.

He sighs. "It's all politics. I want to do right by my people, and by the people my family injured."
