“I couldn’t agree more… Princess.” Tatsuya returned her smile, right down to the subtext, and bowed his head. “So is there anything else I can do for you Princess Azula?”

Azula smirked. “Hmm… well tell me captain. How skilled are you at requisitioning supplies?” The captain reacted in just the manner she had expected. His face was wiped of any semblance of a smile and he blinked confused a couple of times.

“Well, actually Princess I’ve never had to requisition anything. On my ship we’ve always had plenty of supplies and if we were running low on something non critical we could normally make due until our next shipment. And if we were running low on something critical all we’d have to do was make a stop at the next Fire nation controlled port and resupply.” Tatsuya scratched the back of his head, clearly a little embarrassed at his lack of experience. “Though I do tend to be able to get the job done.” He smiled at the Azula bowing his head trying not to seem too prideful. “Might I ask, what is it you’d like requisitioned princess?”

“Mongoose Dragons. Three to be precise, you see Mai Ty Lee and I have all agreed that Komodo Rhinos just don’t seem to fit the, spirit of this quick precise strike team. They’re too, slow and lumbering.” Azula smirked, as she continued slowly eating the meal the captain had prepared. She could have gone on all day about how poorly she thought of Komodo Rhinos, but she clearly didn’t need to. You could tell just by looking. The Captain had already set his mind to how to acquire the beasts for her. “So, think you can handle that Captain?” Azula sipped at her tea a little, she had to admit, it wasn’t bad, for tea.

Tatsuya smirked. “I don’t think getting a few trained Mongoose Dragons from the Fire Nation homeland should be too hard.” He scratched the back of his head and bowed at little. “Though it may require the use of your name in letterhead once again Princess,” He bowed his head a little lower. “And, might I ask when you would prefer them? It’ll probably take a few days for them to arrive wherever I ask them to be sent.”

“I’m well aware it will take some time to ship the animals here from the Homeland. Do your best captain, I trust in your ability to get them to be shipped sufficiently ahead of our travels.” Azula set her tea cup back down on her tray, she wasn’t even looking at Tatsuya anymore, she was pretending to be interested in her meal. “And you’re welcome to use my name on the requisition letter.” She smirked. “Thank you for asking this time.” Azula waved him away as she went back to eating. “That will be all captain.”

“Of course princess, enjoy your meal.” Tatsuya bowed his head one more time and quickly scurried out the door. No doubt off to write a flurry of letters regarding the acquisition of three trained and ride able Mongoose Dragons, and the equipment required to ride them.

The moment the door closed behind the Captain and his footsteps could no longer be heard in the hall Ty Lee smiled and almost burst out. “Azula he’s soo cute, and he was totally flirting with you! Why didn’t you flirt back?!”

Azula nearly choked on her soup. “Wh-what? He was not flirting with me.” She was a little blindsided by the gymnast’s comments.

“Yeah… He kind of was Azula.” Mai added half heartedly. She almost sounded confused as to why the princess couldn’t see that herself. “That whole. ‘I couldn’t agree more… Princess’ line. He was totally flirting, in a weird way, but he was.” She tried to make her voice deeper when she quoted the captain and stared over at Azula while spinning her spoon around one of her fingers like she would occasionally do with her knives.

Azula chuckled a little, “You must be kidding. He wasn’t flirting with me. He was agreeing that our time together will be interesting.” She just could not see what her friends were talking about.

“Yeah interesting ‘cause he totally likes you Azula!” Ty Lee would have been bouncing up and down if she hadn’t had her tray of food on her lap.

“Tsh. He does not like me.” Azula sneered a little surprised at how convinced Ty Lee was of the Captain’s feelings. “No one ever likes me…” She added, too quiet for anyone but her to hear, she didn’t really know why she added it, but she did.

Mai was for once the one convince Azula of something good. “Apparently he does. Don’t ask me why but he’s been being pretty clear about it…”

Azula thought on this, sure the Captain had been, accommodating, more than accommodating. He’d even risked the punishment of barrowing her name without approval, just to get information but still it was an offence that could have gotten him seriously punished. Though that was hardly a good basis for a relationship, perhaps there was some merit to what the two girls were saying. “Well, whatever the captain’s feelings for me, now isn’t the time to discuss them,” Azula stood up, setting the empty lunch tray on the floor next to her chair. “We should be arriving at Commander Jang’s Camp soon, the Captain said he expected us to be there after lunch, and lunch is over.”

And with that Azula crossed her arms behind her and walked out. Ty Lee and Mai quickly gathered themselves and followed her. They didn’t know where exactly she was headed and to be perfectly honest neither did she. She’d just wanted to end the conversation. Though she was also a quick thinker, and she had her destination in mind before she’d lost sight of her door. The princess strolled into the bridge of her ship, looking around at the rather unexciting display around her. Most of the crew was out doing other things, and the generals who had appeared for her meeting had returned to their own ships and set off for their own destinations. “What’s the hold up? We should have been in port by now.” She said with that authoritative voice that told you someone was in trouble, and that that someone probably wasn’t going to be seen again. There was some frightened scurrying about, which made Azula smirk, and then one no name navigator hesitantly walked up to the princess and her friends.

The boy stuttered he couldn’t have been much older than the girls; he was probably just entering his twenties. “W-well… p-princess… it’s the dock…” He coughed and cleared and his throat trying to look like he wasn’t as afraid of her as he was. He swallowed hard. “Well, Princess, they’re dock is small, they’re mostly used to simple supply ships or galleons. It’s taking a while for them to rearrange themselves that there might be space for the royal barge to dock.”

Azula rolled her eyes. This was exactly why she was leaving the royal procession behind. There couldn’t be a dock in a world what would have room for a four person skiff, or at least no dock that she could possibly have business in. “Well, tell them to hurry it along. The sooner we dock the sooner we can begin pursuing the Avatar.” Azula winced a little thinking of how much she must have sounded like her brother saying that. She sighed and shrugged it off before giving the people on the bridge the once over. “Oh and where’s Captain Shouhei?” She asked out of plain curiosity, but the reaction her question spurred from Ty Lee, Mai had no reaction she never did, made her want to explain herself. “I ask because I don’t see him here, and I was under the impression he was handling the acquisition of our mounts.”

The look on the navigator’s face told that he had no knowledge of what the Captain was supposed to be doing and felt quite angered by the fact that he’d been kept out of the loop. “Uhm… well I believe captain Shouhei is in the hold. I’m not certain what it is that he’s doing there, but I’m not aware of what he’s currently assigned to.”

Azula looked like she was going to kill something. Which had there been anything readily available she probably would have. But good navigators were hard to find, particularly if they got wind that the reason you needed a new one was because you incinerated the last one. “T-thank you…” She was going to thank him by his rank but didn’t really remember what his proper rank was nor did she particularly care. Right now she cared that Shouhei had lied to her. He was supposed to be acquiring mongoose dragons for them to ride, and instead he was in the hold doing Ozai knows what, probably gambling with the rest of the slackers. “Th-thanks whatever your name is.” Azula waved the navigator away. “Excuse me I have someplace to be.” It was clear that she meant, she had someone to kill, but the navigator was just thankful he’d been released from his conversation with the princess unscathed.

He scurried away and she stormed down the hall to the stairs that lead to the hold so she could ‘discipline’ the young captain. Mai followed with her muted disinterest with which she addressed the entire world and Ty Lee bounced after the other two girls with her bubbly optimism with which she addressed the world. Azula was currently debating the best way to injure the captain without actually hindering his ability to do his job. She’d almost decided on incinerating his stupid little goatee when she reached the hold.

Several men scurried out of her sighed faster than the mole-rats, extinguishing whatever it was that they were smoking and hiding whatever it was that they were drinking. They’re card game was till laid out on the upturned supply crate they’d been sitting around. Azula looked around, and glared at one of the more intoxicated men who had failed to clamor away from her. “Where’s Captain Shouhei.” She said like that in and of itself was a death threat. The drunken seaman just shuddered and pointed deeper into the hold. Azula growled to herself and marched in toward the clearing in the center of the hold.

Ty Lee blinked at her surroundings, possibly just recently realizing they were in the hold. “Hey, what are we doing here Azula?”

Mai rolled her eyes as they followed Azula. “Azula’s here to hurt and or kill Captain Shouhei, probably because we said he likes her.”

“Well that’s a horrible thing to do!” Ty Lee looked only somewhat shocked that Azula would do such a thing. “Azula you’re not really going to kill him just because he likes you?”… Are you?”

Azula looked back at her friend and gave what was her equivalent of a comforting smirk. “Oh no don’t worry Ty Lee… he’s just slacking off and I’m here to put an end to it is all.” Somewhere along her sentence her smirk changed from comforting to disturbing, but it was whipped completely off her face as she walked into the hold’s clearing.
Tatsuya was standing, well kneeling, along the side of what had clearly once been a large metal shipping crate. He was fire bending a small flame in his hand and was using it to attach a third wheel to the crate. It seldom resembled a crate anymore, it was somewhere between crate and carriage. And while the craftsmanship was second par at best it looked sturdy and had a door and three windows cut into the walls of the crate. Azula stood there a little shocked, she had honestly thought he was slacking off and had already peg him as a ladder climbing brownnoser. But he was really working on something that actually looked like something she might consider riding in, once it was properly furnished.

The captain spun the wheel he was attaching once, it seemed to catch a little going around but it rotated fine. Azula walked in to full view a pleasant smirk on her face. “So… this is what you’ve been spending your time on is it captain?” She had that catlike tone that told you she wasn’t actually asking a question so much as toying with you, but the captain just whipped back his hair and smirked, standing to attention quickly.

“P-princess… I erm wasn’t expecting you.” He tentatively rubbed the back of his head, it was clear he’d been working hard from the obscene amount of sweat on his brow. His hair was almost glued to his head from him whipping it out of his face as he worked.

Azula walked past him and laid her hand on the doorknob of his stitched together carriage. “Yes well. I was a little confused when I didn’t find you on the bridge. I thought you would be there acquiring our mounts?” She opened the door just a crack to see how well it actually moved, it didn’t look like it but it was actually quite easy to open, then she began to pace around the collage of a carriage. Ty Lee and Mai remained a few steps back from Captain and his structure.

“Yes well, I sent out some hawks but I don’t imagine I’ll hear back for a day or two, and until then I assumed that you would still require a mode of travel befitting of your…” The Captain paused to find the right word, one that would express his loyalty and respect, without either making her mad at him or giving her reason to incinerate him. “Persona.” He rubbed his face with a rag, cleaning off some of his sweat as he watched the princess inspect his labor. “I was kind of planning on surprising you with this carriage, I based it off of the rickshaws they use in the capital city only I tried to make it longer so that all three of you could ride in it, and rather than four people it’ll be towed by a Komodo Rhino… but all I had to work with was an empty shipping crate and the cargo carts here in the hold. The workers here in the hold weren’t really too please with me cutting up their carts either…” He rubbed the back of his neck a little self conscious over all the trouble he’d cause by trying to make the carriage.

Azula rounded the back of the carriage just in time to see Ty Lee elbow Mai over Tatsuya’s ‘I wanted to surprise you’ line. Azula just rolled her eyes and stored away a few dozen reasons why he would say that, other than if he liked her. “Well, that certain was… productive of you Captain.” She continued to circle the carriage until she reached him again. “Though it will of course have to be furnished to my liking, it should provide adequate travel means until we acquire the mongoose dragons. But on to more present matters,” The princess waved her hand under her nose a few times. “You stick to high heaven Captain. I certainly hope you’re not going disembark before taking a shower.” Azula loved to make men squirm, and if he did like her, then this was only all the more fun.

And squirm he did, the background giggling provided by Ty Lee only made him wriggle all the more. He took a step back from the princess and coughed into his rag, unable to look her in the eye as he made it a point to hold his arms at his sides. “Erm… yeah well… I was planning on taking a quick shower before disembarking. But I wanted to get the carriage finished first, it just needs a few more adjustments and it should be ready for use.”

Azula smirked at his squirming and walked back over to her friends. “Well be sure to complete it captain, I’ll send orders for how it should be furnished after we dock. Until then I shall be in my room, though I expect to be informed the moment we’re docked.”

Tatsuya nodded. “Of course princess, anything else before I return to work?” He was squirming a little less as he kneeled back down to the side of the carriage.

Ty Lee chose this moment to bounce past Azula and lean over his shoulder. “So… do you like spend all your time thinking of how you can help Azula?” She was remarkably strait forward. Apparently Azula was really the only one in her group with any tact.

The captain blinked at the gymnast girl that was leaning over his shoulder without actually touching him. He smirked. “Well, she is the princess of the fire nation, the most powerful nation of the world, and the rightful heir to the throne. I join the service to do what I could for my nation, and I can think of no better way to serve the throne, then to serve its rightful heir.” Tatsuya smiled and relit his fire torch in his hand. Ty Lee blinked and shrugged bouncing back from him and returning to her friends. Azula was already leaving and Mai was close behind her.

The three girls left the hold in silence. Though once they returned to the live quarters’ halls Mai actually spoke up, “That man seems loyal to a fault. I’d hate to see Zuko convince him he’s still the ‘rightful heir,’ it could be dangerous.”

Azula smirked, everyone knew that her brother had been dishonored and banished, and as things were now, he was even a criminal. There was no way he could ever be considered the rightful heir to anything anymore. “You worry too much Mai… Zuzu’s been dishonored and exiled, there’s no way he could be considered the rightful heir unless by some miracle he capture or kills the Avatar. And since we’re chasing him, there’s no way Zuzu will get his hands on him.” Azula watch Mai hide her sorrow over the truth of the matter. She knew Mai liked Zuko. “And besides, I have a way of conveying the values of loyalty to those that serve under me.”

The two girls looked at each other a little confused by Azula’s statement. Mai shrugged and Ty Lee reverted back to her bubbly happiness, never straying from it for very long for any reason anyway.

A few hours later there was a knock on Azula’s door. The girls had returned to the princess’s bed chamber to pass the time. Their conversations could be simplified as bubbly gushing over how clear it was that Captain Shouhei liked Azula on the part of Ty Lee, skeptical agreement and a few actually good points from Mai, and calm argument with the occasional covert death threat from Azula.

“Princess Azula? We’ve finished docking, and I’ve finished your carriage. I’ve had it unloaded and stocked, but I still need to know how you would like it to be furnished.” The Captain’s voice said from the other side of Azula’s large metal door.

Azula smirked and walked over to her door, Ty Lee and Mai stood up, they’d been gathered around her chair in their usual sitting position. Azula swung the door open and smirked at the, clearly recently washed, Captain. His hair was still damp and his armor looked like it had just been shined. None of which particularly interested Azula, she just walked right past him, her arms crossed behind her back. “First off I’d like my chair brought with us.” She smirked a little as he leaned into her room and inspected her chair.

“That should be simple enough.” The Captain responded as he moved in behind the girls. He was walking behind the three of them almost direction in the shadow of the princess. The four of them were an odd group as though Azula was clearly their leader, Tatsuya was the largest.

“Oh I don’t know…” Azula had only really cared that she got her chair, after all she figured if she was going to be spending all their traveling time, and possible sleeping time, in the carriage the Captain had built by himself, she wanted to be comfortable. “There anything you two would like to bring?” She looked back at her bubbly gymnast friend and the depressingly monotone goth girl.

Ty Lee lit up and beamed at Azula. “O O! Can we bring my incent burners?! Oh and my bean chairs and pillows?!”

Azula looked back at Tatsuya, he was the one who made the thing, he would know better than anyone what could be put in it. Tatsuya smirked and nodded. “Sure, I don’t see why not.” And earned himself a hug from Ty Lee, she wrapped her arms around his neck and nearly knocked him over as she tackled him.

Mai rolled her eyes as the gymnast released the captain. “I wouldn’t mind have some reading material while we travel.” She shrugged a little but Tatsuya nodded to her.

“Well if that’s all?” He paused to make certain it was, no one could think of anything else they’d like to travel with so none of the girls said anything. “Ladies,” He bowed to Mai and Ty Lee, taking a step back to do so. “Princess,” He bowed to Azula looking her in the eye before he did so. She yawned a little. “I’ll go make the arrangements. I’ll be on the docks managing the unloading.” He bowed to all three before turning around and heading off.

Azula sighed and rolled her eyes as she and her friends continued down the hall in the other direction. They were headed for the ramp down to the docks from the stern. The Captain was probably headed for the hold to take a ride on the freight crane as he supervised the offloading. Azula smirked a little as he was clearly having a good time with his new unofficial rank boost. He was still a just a captain on the books but since he was working under, as he put it, the rightful heir to the throne of the most powerful nation in the world, people were clearly listening to his ‘requests.’

It wasn’t long before Tatsuya had the carriage off loaded and furnished to the girls’ liking. The crew seemed almost, excessively helpful in this endeavor. It was probably because they all wanted to get Azula set and sent off and then get as far away from the princess as they possibly could. Azula, Mai and Ty Lee merely watched from the deck of the ship. Ty Lee eventually got board and started doing cartwheels from one side of the ship to the other. Azula got board too, but then she ‘accidentally’ tripped Ty Lee and caused her to go sailing off the edge of the ship and land with a loud splash in the bay. Several soldiers rushed over to help her but Tatsuya was finished with the carriage so Azula and Mai simply walked down the gangplank, well Mai walked, Azula more, sauntered. “Come now Ty Lee, this is no time to be getting all soggy. We’re prepared to leave?” Azula timed her question perfectly so that she finished right when the captain ran up to see what was happening. He nodded with a smile. “Right then, come on girls. We’ve got an Avatar to catch.”
