Tatsuya woke up to a splash of very cold river water in the face. His natural response for this was of course to shoot fire at the source of the water. Unfortunately for him the source was the sleeve of Mai’s robe, fortunately for him she was too quick to hit. “Relax Tatsu. It’s us.”
He blinked up at the two rather soggy ladies and climbed to his feet. “My apologies Ladies Mai, Ty Lee.” He rubbed the back of his head lightly bowing to the two in slight servitude, before taking upon more a caretaker feel and blinking at them again. “You’re soaking wet.”
“We got dumped in a river by the Avatar’s bison.” Mai rung some more cold water from her robes.
“Well him and his cute friend.” Ty Lee said with a bit of a smile, before catching a glance from Mai and innocently staring at the sky.
“Mind if we hang our cloths in the engine room to dry?” Mai turned back to the Captain, ringing out her other sleeve, the ground around her feet turning to a bit of a mud puddle.
Tatsuya blinked a little as his mind slowly caught up to being awake. “Yes, of course, go right ahead, but, where is princess Azula?”
“What’s the matter Captain, worried for Azulaaa?” Ty Lee leaned toward him, before standing back and breaking out into a fit of giggles.
Mai rolled her eyes. “If I had to guess. I’d say at the bottom of that.” The dower girl pointed to a large smoke cloud rising off in the distance, it looked like an entire town was on fire.
The three just sort of paused, staring off at the giant smoke cloud for a moment. Then Tatsuya sighed a little, not quite a remorseful sigh, but more like the release of a held breath. “I’ll start the train. You two should change clothes before you catch your deaths.” With that the Captain climbed back into the engine room.
“Rightio Tatsu… o…” Ty Lee failed at rhyming something with the Captain’s name as she skipped toward the still open back end of the train. She shook off her wristbands and unclipped her skirt as she walked, water dripping off them.
Mai untied her sash and cracked it like a whip, sending a splatter of damp across the metal floor, and then set about unclipping her various sharp implements from the inside of her sash. “Even my daggers are soaked.” She sighed. Without her sash her robes fell slightly open, not too much as she did have her long vest, but just enough to let a glimmer of flawless pear skin flicker in and out of sight as she began to remove all of her various sharp implements from her soggy robes and laid them out on the foot of her bunk.
“Well look on the bright side Mai. At least this time we’re not stuck in a swamp.” The ever positive Ty Lee smiled down from the top bunk as she pulled her shirt off over her head, revealing her bandage bound chest.
“Oh yeah, because ice cold river water is so much better.” Mai threw one of her socks down next to her sandals; it made her point with a satisfactory squish.
“O…k… so maybe it’s not that much better… But hey at least this time Tatsuya to help us dry off.” She glanced about the cab for someone to back her up, but the Captain wasn’t even there. She pouted a little.
“Let’s just get these things hung up so they can dry.” Mai, now stripped down to her bra and bindings looked up at her bubbly companion. “Preferably before we pick up Azula and she sees us stripped down to our skivvies with her new boyfriend.”
Ty Lee suppressed a fit of giggles as she flipped down from her bunk, her garments in her arms as were her dower companions. “Heheh, I knew you thought Tatsu liked Azula just as much as I did.”
“How could I not?” Mai looked over at her chipper comrade. “It’s practically written on his forehead.”
“What’s written on whose forehead?” Tatsuya looked back over his shoulder. The girls had walked in just in time for him to over hear them talking about him. He’d been busily stringing up what appeared to be fishing wire between the walls of the small, already cluttered engine room.
“Oh just that you’ve got a big ol’ crush on our little princess.” Ty Lee leaned over to him, practically leaning on him were she not carrying wet bunches of clothes. She was already grinning, and when the Captain flushed in reaction to her comment she burst out giggling.
At least that was until Tatsuya snatched Mai’s shirt from out of her arms. “Perhaps we should just bet these hung up?” He was pouting a little but the question bore enough annoyance that the giggling gymnast swallowed her laughter and set to hanging the dripping clothes.
Mai sat back on a pile of boxes labeled ‘Spices’ neatly stacked in a back corner beside Tatsu’s bed. “So Tatsu, do you like Azula? Because if not then you’re doing the best job of faking it I’ve ever seen.”
“I’m not faking Lady Mai.” The Captain smiled slightly, stringing up Mai’s kimono by running a line through the arms and hooking either side to the walls. It made a most wonderful screen to stand between him and the half naked girls. Simply to avoid temptation of course, he belonged to the princess. “And though I’d like this to be kept secret.” He brushed out the arms of the dower girl’s robe, just to keep it from wrinkling as it dried. “I will admit to a certain… attraction to the princess.”
Ty Lee clapped and leapt a few inches into the air, pointing over at Tatsuya. “I knew it!” All eyes went to the gymnast as she practically danced around the cluttered cab. “I knew you liked the princess! And she likes you too. It’s so perfect you’d think someone had written it!” The little gymnast danced over to the Captain and stared up at him, perfectly comfortable with naught but her chest bindings and under garments on. “So when are you going to ask her out?”
The Captain blinked a couple of times, staring down at her. He sighed a little. “Lady Ty Lee… It’s not that simple…” He paused a little, busying himself, and breaking the gymnast’s staring contest by returning to hanging the girls’ damp clothes. “She’s the princess of the most powerful nation in the world. And I’m…”
“Worthless pond-scum unfit to stand in her presence?” The dower Mai provided a more than adequate completion of the infatuated boy’s sentence. Personally while she understood the difficulties of their budding romance, she found the whole thing incredibly boring.
Ty Lee and Tatsu stared at the gothic girl for a moment. “Uh… well I was going to say half-breed peasant, but yeah… that too…” The Captain rubbed the back of his head lightly, and finished hanging up the girls’ clothes, they weren’t dripping wet any more, but they were still fairly damp. “An’ after all, it’s not like we would exactly travel in the same circles.” He sighed a little, brushing off Ty Lee’s shirt before turning back to the furnace and firing a wave of flames into the crackling mouth.
The train surged forward, causing all those in the cab to rock back and forth. Ty Lee pouted a little hopping up to sit on Tatsuya’s cot. “Yeah but… you’re both here, together, now… Right?” She looked from Mai, to the silhouette of the Captain, outlined against Mai’s robe by the light of the furnace fire.
“And then what?!” Tatsuya snapped back half turning to glare though the hanging robe. “The princess sails off back to the Fire Nation and I go back to my nothing post in the western sea and we never see each other again?!” He sighed calming himself and turned back to the furnace. He tossed another curl of flames into it. “Yes. I like the princess, but don’t you think I’ve thought about it?...” Another lock of flames curled its way from his fingers into the furnace. “She’s a princess. I’m a worm… It could never work… No matter how much I want it to…”
Ty Lee curled her knees up to her chest, and for once, shared an expression with Mai. “I’m sorry… I just wanted you two to be happy together… I mean it’s so rare for someone to Like like Azula, and I don’t think she’s ever liked a boy before… I was just trying to get you two to be honest with each other, but all of my pushing… it must have been just awful for you Tatsu…”
“It’s hard to know you can’t be with who you want to…” All eyes turned to the somber Mai. She almost sounded like she was speaking from experience.
The three dropped the subject there. And though the girls didn’t leave the engine room, for lack of any real reason two, their conversations seldom involved the Captain. Occasionally they would turn to him for an opinion on something, like whether they would look better with her hair down or up, but he always avoided it with the eloquence and grace of one who didn’t want to say one way or the other.
They pulled over once when they saw a Komodo Dragon wandering the desert, and while it proved to be the princess’s, she wasn’t with it. Tatsu was getting nervous, and while Ty Lee though that adorable of him she restrained herself from saying anything and the three continued on to the still burning town.
“What kept you?” Azula had been waiting in the main run through town. The train pulled up past her and the center cab door kicked open. Mai and Ty Lee were there waiting, still in naught but their undergarments. “Now why are you two naked?”
“We got dumped into a river by the Avatar’s bison. Our clothes are drying in the engine room.” Mai crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against one side of the opening.
Ty Lee ran out to swallow the princess in a wide hug. “We were getting worried Azula!” She released her after a moment. “We found your Komodo Dragon but you weren’t anywhere to be seen.”
“Yes well… The creature seemed to run off after I dismounted.” Azula crossed her arms behind her and glanced back over her shoulder, the town was still quite ablaze. “Probably was for the best all things considered.” The princess smirked a little and strode into the train.
The Captain was waiting just within the train, he struck a pose and saluted the princess. “Welcome back princess.” He broke his salute and smiled. “I must confess… I was worried.”
Azula smirked a little and tossed her hair to one side. “You shouldn’t have been.”
