“So Azula how what happened with your fight with the Avatar?” Ty Lee curiously asked the obvious question as she flipped herself back up to the top bunk. They were back underway, but no longer possessing any real heading they were just sort of looking for a way around the river the Avatar had escaped over.
Mai sat glumly on the bottom bunk, the blankets thrown over her legs as their clothes were still drying out. Or at least they hadn’t been to fetch them yet. “I don’t suppose anything interesting happened.”
“No you’re right Mai. It was fairly dull. I though depriving him of sleep would make the Avatar a more interesting target, but he didn’t ever realize who I was when we met… And then my brother showed up and the whole thing just sort of fell apart.” Azula sighed a little, sitting on the back of her bed and toying with her nails as she listened to the train rumble.
“Zuko was there?” Mai actually sounded interested now. It was really a shame how pitifully she hid her attraction to the Prince, though it did have its uses so Azula couldn’t really complain.
“Hmm?” Azula mocked concern and glanced over at the Goth. “Oh yes, Uncle Iroh made an appearance too but I don’t think we’ll be seeing them again anytime soon.”
For once Mai showed some emotion, first apparent heartbreak, than cold disregard. “Why? What did you do Azula?...” And perhaps a little hatred, just a little.
The question did just begged to be answered though, Azula smirked a little. “Oh don’t be so dramatic Mai.” She teased. “Zuko’s fine, Uncle underestimated me, so I thought I’d teach him a bit of a lesson. A bolt of fire to the chest, he’ll probably have a nice scar, but nothing serious.” The princess smirked a little more as her dower friend released her held breath. “Zuko will likely be laid up tending to him for at least a week, maybe more. Which reminds me we should have someone sweep through the area and pick them up while we pursue the Avatar.”
Mai leaned back in her bunk a little, relaxed in the knowledge that Azula hadn’t done something horrible to her brother, yet.
“Well so that’s nice, you got to see Zuko and your Uncle.” Ty Lee decided to intervene before her friends started fighting for real.
“I suppose…” Azula rolled her fingers about her bangs.
An awkward silence held about the cab for a little too long to be comfortable. Ty Lee actually started stroking her braid, trying to think of something to talk about and keep her friends from killing each other, literally or figuratively. When there was a pleasant break to the silence.
The Captain walked in with a large tray of rice cakes, much a kind to the manner a parent might offer their children snacks after a vigorous day. “I don’t suppose you girls might be hungry.” He said with a smile, walking the tray over to the princess first, and then the bunk bed’s residents.
The princess frowned a little but took one of the sticky cakes; taking a bite and watching the Captain pass them over to her friends. “You know Captain… you’ve really taken to caring for us these past few weeks, it does have its enjoyable qualities but lately it has been growing…” She took another bite. “Irritating.”
“Yeah Tatsu, it’s like you’ve become our mom, it’s really nice of you.” Ty Lee said with a smile as she chowed down on a pair of rice cakes.
“Yeah. I always wanted to have a mom with a goatee.” Mai had a shadow of a smirk as she actually made a, rather dower, joke, snagging one of the sticky rice cakes and nibbling on it lightly.
“Why lady Mai did you just make a joke?” The Captain smirked a little as the dower girl pouted into her rice cake. “But I understand.” He turned to Azula and bowed. “I shall attempt to temper my concern. You are far from hapless, I apologize.”
The princess turned her head slightly, twirling a finger about her bangs as she took small bites of the rice cake she had taken. “Well, that doesn’t mean you have to like, stop making us snacks an’ stuff does it?” Ty Lee spoke up a little as she munched happily on the snacks the Captain had provided. Azula rolled her eyes lightly.
“Whenever you find yourself hungry lady Ty Lee, please, don’t hesitate to find me.” Tatsuya bowed lightly, walking over and laying the rice cakes down on the small metal table. “I’d best be returning to the engine room now, least we hit something.” He turned and bowed to the girls before turning and heading for the door.
Though before he reached it Azula spoke up. “Before you do that Captain would you do me a favor?” She was absentmindedly admiring her nails, having finished her rice cake. “We seem to be lacking a heading with which to pursue the Avatar.” She looked up, laying her hands across her lap. “I’d like you to send out requests for any reports on sightings of him, or of my brother, as well as reports on any major Fire Nation plans currently underway. Anything that that little infant of a god might consider interrupting…”
“Of course princess. “The Captain bowed. “Shall I use your signet for the requests princess?”
“That’ll be fine Tatsuya. Oh and find someone in the area to pick up my uncle and brother would you?” Azula leaned back a little and began curling her bangs about a finger again. The Avatar had slipped through her fingers twice now, and worse, if he were to ally with her brother the two of them might actually prove indomitable...
At least Zuzu hadn’t figured that out yet. Not with his little tantrum when they’d offered to help with Iroh’s new found ‘condition.’ Her brother wasn’t likely to be moving about too quickly, not if he wanted to keep his Uncle in toe. Of course she supposed Zuko could ditch their uncle, but that seemed just a little too heartless for him. Azula would’ve done it in a flash, but her brother was a long way from being anything like her. The princess smirked a little.
The real problem was this new Earth Bender the Avatar seemed to have added to his pack. They hadn’t of performed any Earth Bending when she’d encountered them in New Ozai, but twice now since. It was that little one. She’d seen it standing there when Zuko and Iroh and the Avatar had all surrounded her. It was hard to tell if it was a boy or a girl, but regardless it proved to be difficult. Now all the Avatar had to learn was Fire Bending.
Well at least there was no chance that he could learn that. Every Fire Bender in the world was either an enemy of the Avatar, or a man without a country. Even dear Zuzu still thought that capturing the Avatar would earn him their father’s praise. At this point he’d have to conquer the entire Earth Kingdom single handedly for their father to accept him. But enough of that for now, Ty Lee was saying something.
“Hmm? What was that Ty Lee?” The princess turned her head slightly, her hands laid crossed over her chest.
The gymnast looked up from leaning over her bunk to peer down on Mai. “Oh. I just asked Mai what book she was reading, that’s all.” She rubbed the back of her head, sitting up now.
“Oh, as you were then.” Azula wave a bored hand in their direction.
“But hey Azula, as long as you’re not doing anything else you wanna, I don’t know, talk with us about something?”
“Hmm?” The princess perked a brow toward the other girls. “Well, I suppose I don’t have anything better to do… So why not. What do you want to talk about?”
“Eeee!” Ty Lee squeaked and clapped her wrists together in a mild fit of glee. “Let’s talk about boys!” She said with a great smile.
“Oh god no. Let’s not.” Mai said closing her book and laying it in her lap. “The last thing I need to endure is countless hours of you going on about every boy you’ve met in the past month, while Azula points out every one of their flaws and denies being attracted to anyone outside her own family.”
“Well what about you Mai.” Ty Lee leaned down over the edge of her bunk again. “You’ve been crushing on Azula’s brother for like years now.” Mai quietly blushed and looked at the wall.
Azula smirked a little. “Well she is right.” Both girls looked at the princess to try and discern which she was siding with. “We’ve little to talk about in regard to boys.” Ty Lee pouted as the princess sided with Mai. “And Mai has carried a flame for Zuko for years now.” Mai blushed a little more and turned back toward the wall. Ty Lee giggled a little.
“Well what do you think we should talk about Azula?” Mai turned back to the room, less red now.
“Hmm…” Azula perked up a little and absentmindedly looked up. “Well what are you girls going to do when this is all over? When the Avatar and my brother are captured and locked away?”
“Hmm that’s a good question.” Ty Lee tilted her head to one side, scratching her head lightly. “I guess I’ll go back to the circus, I was actually pretty happy there. Most people say that circus folk are all kind of strange, but they were really actually pretty nice ya’know?”
“Fascinating truly.” Azula smirked a little as she poked fun. “So after all this you’re just going to go right back to where I found you? No great reconciliation with your parents, no returning to the Fire Nation to pick up one of the many boys who’s hearts were dashed to absolute pieces when you left for ‘parts unknown.’” She actually chuckled a little at the look on Ty Lee’s face.
“Well what’re you going to do once you’ve captured Zuko and the Avatar?” Mai almost snapped at the princess, clearly she was still a little miffed about the whole Zuko crush thing.
“Hmm… well I haven’t really given it much thought… I guess I’ll just go back to the Fire Nation, and when the time comes I suppose I’ll have to succeed my father. After all with Zuko in prison I’ll be the only logical choice.” Azula chuckled a little, smirking almost dangerously.
“Hey, what’d you think Tatsu will be doing after he done hanging around with us?” Ty Lee asked, head held in her hands as she kicked her feet back and forth behind her, half leaning off her bunk.
“Humph, well that’s a silly question.” Azula sat up a little. “He’ll go back to whatever post he came from of course.”
“And that’s it? We never see him again? Seems kind of sad doesn’t it?”
“Hmm.” The princess stared on ahead, though not really paying attention to what she was looking at. “I suppose it might… from a certain prospective…”
“Well it doesn’t have to end that way.” Mai actually smirked a little as all eyes went to her, this involved leaning over the edge of the bunk in Ty Lee’s case. “After all Azula’s the princess of the Fire Nation. If she said Tatsu went back to the Fire Nation with her, than he’d pretty much have to.”
Azula smirked at her friend’s attempt to anger her. “Well I suppose I could, but I really see no reason in it. After all Tatsuya’s just a cook, admitably a particularly good cook, but not one of dramatic note. Really I don’t see any reason to associate with him after all this is said and done.” There might have been more, remorse in the princess’s voice at that moment, but it was quickly scythed away. “Of course we’ll have to capture the Avatar first, and dear Zuzu has been trying to do that for years.” She smirked a little, “I think we can do it a bit faster, don’t you?” Her friends chuckling lightly, well Ty Lee chuckled lightly, Mai just stared, but Mai always just stared.
“Well on that note, I think it’s time for a new subject!” Ty Lee jumped up a little and smirked as her two friends turned toward her, well Azula turned toward her, Mai just sort of looked up. “Hair.” The gymnast said with a big smile.
Azula rolled her eyes, Mai groaned. Over all, it was a long long time till dinner.
