The princess awoke. She hadn’t even noticed she’d fallen asleep, but it was the cessation of the carriage’s gentle rocking that rousted her from her light slumber. He eyes darted over to examine her friends. Mai was laid out on the seat across from the princess, leaned up against the right door and spinning a knife around her fingers bored. Ty Lee was leaned out the window in the left wall ooing and ahhing at various things outside, so Azula assumed they had arrived at the Fire Nation camp.
Her suspicions were confirmed as the left door to the carriage was opened by some faceless helmet sporting Fire Bender. Standing behind him was an official looking soldier sporting grey hair and an overly manicured beard. “Princess Azula… Might I just say what an honor it is to have you take an interest in my works…” She recognized the man as he grinned a little. He was the war minister responsible for most of the military advancements in the past decade. The princess allowed his guards to help her out. “We, uhm, received your message and I came over with the Train, I brought the Mongoose Dragons you requested, but well, if I might ask, why you requested the use of the Fire Nation’s latest vehicle design…”
“You may not War Minister.” Azula cut the older man off. He was an adequate soldier, but as of recently the advancement’s he’d offered were appearing less and less original. They were all being based off what they already had, and were no longer so innovative. Though that may have been due to his latest discovery the War Balloon, it was still being put into production but once it was completed it was to be a promising new means of both travel and battle. It was possible that the old man had burnt himself out, though truthfully Azula had never truly believed he was brilliant enough to come up with his those innovations by himself, but then again what Azula believed didn’t matter. It was what her father held true that was important.
The war minister would’ve protested, but Tatsuya chose that moment to jump off the front of the carriage landing with a significant thunk that made everyone who wasn’t Azula look over at him. He simply glared around at them and slowly drew his halberd from the back of the coachman’s seat. Azula didn’t even half to look as she heard the slow dragging of metal across wood. She could picture his face asking what they were all looking at.
Qin cleared his throat. “Ahem… yes well, the Train is stocked and ready to move out whenever you desire princess. I’ve had the Mongoose Dragons packed in the second container and the materials you specified in the first. Though some of it was rather hard to come by…” Azula smirked, so the Captain had sent them a list of what they needed to replace after the swamp fiasco, and started walking down toward the largest tent in the compound; it was always easy to tell where the top dog was because he always got the largest accommodations. Of course in this case the top dog was licking her boots at the moment, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t have her boots licked in the comfort of the boss’s tent.
“That’s very good Minister.” The princess turned around. This caused a bit of a commotion as both Ty Lee and Mai were walking along side Azula, while the War Minister had been strolling a little in front of her. Qin’s guards had been following him and since the princess had stopped he’d stopped, which in turn caused them to stop and shuffle around to stay in formation. The only one who didn’t scuffle about at least a little was the one person walking directly behind the princess. “This is my personal guardsman Captain Tatsuya Shouhei. You are to provide him with anything he requires, treat him as you would me. He will be escorting me along with Mai and Ty Lee in my pursuit of the Avatar and location my brother. You are to relay any and all information on the location of either directly to him. He’ll brief me later.”
This order cause just the right amount of confusion to splash across the faces of all those present, well save Mai she couldn’t have cared less. Ty Lee was confused because Azula had just referred to Tatsuya as her personal guardsman when he was really just her personal chief. The War Minister was confused because he’d just been ordered to treat someone he’d never even heard of before as he would the princess of the Fire Nation, and Tatsuya was confused because none of what the princess had just spoke of had been discussed with him before hand. Azula smirked and spun on her heel, beginning to stroll toward the large tent as she had before.
It took a moment but the War Minister snapped out of his odd stupor and restored himself to the princess’s side, it was somewhat amusing to watch the prim and proper nobleman scurry to not be left behind. “Of, of course princess, anything you need, but might I ask why…”
“You may not War Minister.” Azula restated herself, and sounded none too please for having to do so. Needless to say she shut the grey haired man up rather nicely.
Ty Lee giggled a little, though not because of the minister. She was giggling for her own reasons. Azula made a mental note to derive why she was glancing between her and Tatsu late, but as for now there were more important things to do, such as discover just what it was that the Captain had requested for her.
On this note Azula turned to leave, almost the exact moment she’d entered the general’s tent. “Tatsuya I’ll be expecting to find you here if you haven’t reported to me yet.” The Captain nodded back. “And I’ll be expecting you,” She turned to the War Minister, causing him to straighten his posture and cross his hands behind his back. “To provide him with all documentation and reports regarding either the location of my brother or the Avatar as instructed. I don’t want to hear even a murmur of complaint from you or your men.”
“Of course princess, but, might I inquire as to where you’ll be?” The Minister clearly wasn’t getting the hint that he didn’t get to ask a lot of questions of the princess, but seeing as Tatsuya was already moving into the man’s desk, and his tone wasn’t one of disrespect but was instead clearly laced with his concern about a fourteen year old girl and her friends wandering about a war camp alone, Azula figured she might as well allow him this one question.
“I shall be inspecting this new contraption of yours, making certain that everything I requested is in order. Mai, Ty Lee.” The princess tossed her head back to her two friends, and they each stepped to her side.
“Ah, well then, I shall accompany you and brief you on the Fire Nation’s latest advancement in rapid land transportation.” The Minister moved to accompany the girls, but Azula raised a hand and he was halted in his tracks.
“Thank you, but there’s no real need. The Captain here will be driving for me, so I expect you to brief him in full, and I’d hate to make you repeat yourself.” The War Minister was clearly getting aggravated over always behind handed to the Captain when he’d been expecting to deal directly with the princess, and though Azula couldn’t help be feel a twinge of remorse for putting the Captain in such a position. Though at the same time she loved the look on the Ministers face, when each time he moved to do something for her, she simply waved him away and told him to deal with Tatsuya. It was, for lack of a better word, delicious.
The princess strolled calmly out of the tent, leaving the men in various uniforms behind. Ty Lee and Mai the only ones who accompanied her as she strolled out of the oversized tent and over toward the large mass of machinery that was to be her transportation and housing for an indeterminate amount of time.
Azula paused just a few feet from the entrance to the metal contraption. “So, what do you think girls? This thing is to be our home until we’re done out here.”
“It’s not much to look at is it?” Mai folded her arms up into her sleeves and stared grimly out at the grey metal of the mechanical transport. Not that she was much for staring at things any other way, being grim was her strong suit and she was going with it.
“Oh, I don’t know… I think it could be less… war machine-y with a different pain job… maybe even just a Fire Crest to give it some sort of color.” Ty Lee tilted her head to one side and sort of eyed the side of the train.
Azula smirked a little. “Well it is a war machine; it’s not exactly supposed to be pretty. The question was more whether we could live in it for however long it takes to retrieve my brother and capture the Avatar.”
“Whatever.” The grim girl just answered with an uncaring shrug.
“Oh I think we should be able to do fine wherever we end up, after all it will just be the three of us… And Tatsuuu.” Ty Lee smirked a little, leaning over toward the princess and grinning so wildly even Mai raised an eyebrow in curiosity. “What? You saaaaid you liked him Azula.” She stepped over toward the princess and smiled at her, actually playfully poking the royal’s sides as she giggled.
Azula batted the gymnast away pausing a little. “When did I… oh, I never said I liked him. I simply said that I might be attracted to the man…” The princess raised her nose to the air a little and strolled toward the tram’s door. “And… well, who wouldn’t be?” She unbolted the door and slid it to the side, revealing a lush room decked with more than ample amounts of red velvet and silk. Ty Lee squealed a little and rushed inside, Mai strolled in after the princess paused a little to look around. “He is after all a very resourceful man.”
Azula smirked a little and surveyed the room that ‘she’ had custom ordered. There was a large almost velvet red carpet with the fire crest emblazed in the center, a trio of dark rich wooden chairs around a matching table, a large auburn sofa spanned the middle of the cab and in the back was a dark metal bunk bed, with deep black-red blankets, and a sizable double bed with just enough space between the two to walk. There were a few tapestries along the walls, just the usual fire crest bearing designs to keep the walls warm, but it all and all was a fairly nice arrangement. Azula might have asked for a personal chair to replace the one sank in the swamp, but it wasn’t a necessity.
The princess smirked and strolled in as if she’d known everything that would be there and how the room was to have been arranged. She did of course, have to keep up appearances. As far as any of those in the camp knew she herself had ordered the exact pieces of furniture to be placed in her cab. Although it dawned on her she didn’t know the exact words the Captain had used, she found little enough wrong that she could do without changing it.
“So what do you think ladies?” Azula tossed her head back to the girls at either side of her.
“Dibs on the top bunk!” Ty Lee said with a giggle, rushing past the princess to swing herself up on the top of the bunk bed. It was clear the large bed would be for Azula.
Mai rolled her eyes and slowly sauntered over to sit on the lower bunk while the princess did the same, only she took a seat on the edge of her bed. “I suppose we should really wait for Tatsuya to return and report on the Avatar and my brother’s locations…” Azula allowed herself to yawn just a bit. “But I am rather tired.” She lay back on her bed, letting her legs dangle off the side as she stared up at the ceiling of the cab.
“Well then you should rest Azula.” Ty Lee leaned over the side of her bunk, kicking her feet back and forth behind her. “After all I’m sure Taatsu would understand.” She giggled a little still enjoying the fact that Azula had confessed to being attracted to the Captain, even if it had been after he’d viciously murdered that earth bender. It was just such a rare event for Azula to confess to being attracted to anyone that the gymnast was going to enjoy it while it lasted.
Azula took a deep breath and sat up, stretching her arms up over her head. “Well, we real should head out as soon as possible. We lost so much time in that swamp.” She permitted herself a sigh and then got an idea.
The princess stood, and walked outside of the train cab. She looked around for the nearest soldier, and walked right over to one who appeared to be running to some place from some place with some kind of important orders from someone. “You!” She snapped and pointed to the message runner. The startled soldier looked around before pointing to himself in confusion.”Yes, you.” Azula played with a lock of her hair as she waited for him to run over and bow to her. He introduced himself as Lee something, but it didn’t register, there were a million Lees. “I want you to find Captain Tatsuya Shouhei. He should be in the command tent. Tell him that Princess Azula has decided to retire for the night, but he is to wake her as soon as he’s something to report. Understand?”
“Yes princess Azula, I shall deliver the message.” The soldier bowed to her, and all and all took himself far too seriously. He was acting like this was some great important message. Honestly Azula was just telling her boy friend she was taking a nap and it was alright for him to wake her up.
The princess smirked a little as she slowly walked back to the train car. It was just dawning on her she could call Tatsu her boyfriend. She’d never had one of those before...
