“Princess?” Azula’s eyes flicked open. The speaker was Tatsu, though Ty Lee was leaning on the edge of her bunk, kicking her feet back and forth behind her with a wide self-satisfied grin as she eavesdropped. Of course the gymnast’s bed wasn’t three feet away from where the princess lay.

The Captain was kneeled at her bedside, his pole-arm at his side. The boy was completely oblivious to the gymnast eaves dropping behind him. He really did look a great deal like the noble knight, knelt at his master’s side. “I’ve come to report on the locations of The Avatar and Prince Zuko.”

Azula sat up, lightly brushing a lock of her hair out of her face as she sent a lukewarm glare toward the eavesdropping gymnast. “Of course Captain.” The princess slipped off the side of her bed, standing beside Tatsuya as she adjusted her hair, falling asleep with it up had been hard on it. After half a moment of trying to fix it she just removed her clip and let it fall out over her shoulders. “Come, let’s discuss this elsewhere Captain.” She eyed Ty Lee a little; the gymnast smirked and made a kissy face at the princess.

“Of course princess.” The Captain stood, drawing his halberd up to his side as he followed Azula out of the forward cab and after a hop and a skip over the joint between the two, into the storage cab. There was a little more than a hall down the center of the second cab; boxes piled high on the right, cages containing the Mongoose Dragons that the princess and her friends were to mount on the left.

“Now than Captain…” Azula started, but one of the dragon beasts in the cage just past her shoulder chose that moment to crash itself against its cage’s bars not two feet from the princess’s head, snarling and trashing at it attempted to reach the small girl. Azula half turned toward it and slowly raised an eyebrow. The beast settled down and slunk back into the dark recesses of its cage. “Ahem…” Azula began again. “Now then Captain, what have you learned?”

Tatsuya paused a little, he’d been a bit startled by the large reptilian beast’s charge. They were supposed to be tamed, but he guessed you could only do so much with some creatures. He cleared his throat. “Ahem, yes… Uh, it would appear that your brother and uncle have begun traveling as individuals, and as such it’s become difficult to track them. We do know that they appear to be headed roughly in the same direction, but we do not know what goals they might be after or where they are headed.”

The princess allowed herself a sigh, more for effect than anything else. “So, do we even know either of their current locations?”

The Captain shook his head slowly back and forth. “We would likely be able to pick up their trails fairly easily if we were to dispatch any scouts for that specific purpose, but as of right now we only know their general location.”

Azula crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the bars of the Mongoose Dragons’ cage. The reptilian beasts within didn’t even flinch. “And the Avatar, do we have any better news to report on him?”

“Well actually.” Tatsuya smirked; he had clearly started with his weakest foot so he could end with his strongest. “With the coming spring we’ve picked up a trail of what we believe to be Sky Bison hair. It is the current census that they Avatar’s chosen mount sheds during the spring, so we believe…”

“That following the trail of white hair will lead us directly to the Avatar.” Azula was fairly quick on the uptake. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that a trail of white hair falling from the sky was probably related to the only remaining flying white haired creature in the world, and its owner. She smirked a little and leaned off the cage. “Excellent work Captain, but, one more thing.” She strolled past him just a little.

It was difficult to do, due to the narrow hallway of the storage cab. The Captain’s back was pressed up against the Mongoose Dragons’ cage as he moved aside for the princess; even still they were practically standing on top of each other for half a second. One of the dragons spun and hissed at the man pressed against their cage, and Tatsuya stumbled away, being careful not to bump into Azula purely out of habit, they were alone after all. “Yes princess?”

Azula smirked a little half turning to look back at him over her shoulder while she played with a lock of her hair, coiling it slyly around her fingers slowly. “I noticed that you only request three beds. Where will you be sleeping?” Though she still sounded like herself, there was something within her voice that was distance from the cold calculating princess of the Fire Nation everyone saw her as. She even bit her bottom lip a little, not enough to be noticed even, but she did so all the same.

The Captain smiled lightly. “There’s a cot in the forward second of the train.” He shifted lightly, rubbing the back of his head and averting his eyes. “I… hope the loggings are to your liking princess… I tried my best to gather things to your liking, and that of Ladies Mai and Ty Lee.”

The princess smirked a little leaning to one side. “The accommodations are fine Tatsu, Mai couldn’t care less about how she lived and Ty Lee was staying with a circus. As far as she’s concerned as long as she’s with the rest of us she’s fine. Although, she has become suspicious of our interactions.” The Captain turned pale a little, well aware that he would likely be executed if their relationship made it to the ears of anyone who would care. “Though this is clearly just her imagination.” He relaxed a little and Azula smirked. He was so easy to manipulate it was almost cute.

“As for the Avatar.” She began, as she strode through the door, over the joint between the two cabs and back into the one where Mai rested and Ty Lee had her ear pressed up against the wall, still laying on the top bunk. “I want use moving full steam after him, I want you burning the midnight oil on this Captain, is that clear?”

“Yes, of course princess.” The Captain half bowed as Azula stepped out of the narrow path between the beds. He walked down to the end of the cab, and without turning to look back, stepped out to the forward cab. He did pause halfway through the forward doorway. “I’ll be getting us underway shortly, please be prepared ladies. I’ve been told that there is a sudden jerk when this machine first starts out.”

“Thank you Captain, we’ll be sure to be careful.” Azula waved a hand at him, just sort of waving him away.

“Yeah Tatsu, thanks for looking out for us!” Ty Lee leaned her elbows on the edge of her bunk smiling down at the retreating soldier boy. He flashed back a weak smile before disappearing behind the heavy metal door of the cab.

The moment he was out of the cab Ty Lee shot Azula a scolding look. Well as scolding a look as the gymnast could manage, which considering it was aimed at Azula, was little more than throwing a rock at an Earth Bender. “Azula I thought you said you liked Tatsu!” She pouted a little at the princess.

Azula laid out on her bed, sort of throwing herself down on the deep red bed. “What are you talking about Ty Lee?” She sounded almost bored as she rolled onto her side lying out as she looked up at the gymnast.

“What do you mean what do I mean?!” Ty Lee huffed a little and then pouted, dangling her arms over the edge of her bed. Mai, who was reading on her bed at the moment, looked at the dangling hands of the gymnast with the sort of expression that she normally wore, none. “Azula you were so cold to poor Tatsu, I thought you said you liked him…” Ty Lee sounded almost a little disappointed, though it was clear she knew her hopes that the princess might behave differently were too high to begin with.

“Ty Lee, if you’re going to scold me, at least make it clear what it is you’re scolding me for.” The princess didn’t sound at all annoyed with the gymnast. Honestly she just sort of sounded bored, or a lot like Mai. “And I told you. I don’t ‘like’ the Captain; I just think he is an attractive man.”

Ty Lee continued to pout at the Fire Nation royal. “Well if you think he’s cute than why don’t you flirt with him? He’s totally into you, and you two would make just the cutest couple!” The gymnast wiggled a little envisioning all sorts of things between the princess and the Captain, even as the train’s engine began to growl from the forward cab.

Azula didn’t even want to know what the gymnast was picturing. “I’m not any good a flirting, besides, it would never work. I’m a princess; he’s a half blood captain.”

“Not to mention your father would have a fit.” Mai chose that less than chipper note to be her first and last contribution to the conversation.

“Oh… yeah huh… Fire Lord Ozai would never approve of a guy like Tatsu…” The mention of the Fire Lord was enough to demoralize even the ever chipper Ty Lee.

Azula rolled onto her back and laid out on her bed, staring up at the cold steal of the ceiling as the train lurched forward and began gaining speed. “Like I said, it would never work out.” She perhaps let a little too much unhappiness lace her voice but she couldn’t be bothered to care at the moment. She was tired of this conversation, and still just kind of tired. “Good night girls.” She flicked her fingers and the torches on the ceiling flicked out, the only light now pouring through the windows from the moon outside.

“Hey Azula?” It was Ty Lee.

“Hmm?”

“Do you think… that if Tatsu were to, like… become a war hero, by like capturing the Avatar or something… do you think your dad wouldn’t mind too much?” She almost surprised Azula, the gymnast wasn’t too known for thinking things through, but for her to think to the extent that if the Captain became a hero to with the Fire Lord’s praise. She must have been very determined to get the two of them together.

Azula smirked. “Perhaps Ty Lee, but for now, sleep.”
