Tyzula drabble – We'll Just… Share Yours Tonight
Somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, half a week's travel from Ba Sing Se, the peaceful forest silence was shattered by Azula's shrill voice.
"You lost my bedroll? How could you lose my bedroll, Ty Lee?" Part of Azula felt bad screaming at the whimpering girl, but only a small part.
"I-I don't know, 'Zula. I'm so sorry. I had it when we packed up this morning." Ty Lee covered her face with her hands, tears seeping out between them.
Azula growled, digging the heel of her hand between her eyes. The coming headache would be bad, she could tell.
Ty Lee continued to cry. Mai glared at Azula.
"If you would carry your own gear this wouldn't have happened."
"I realize that." Azula rounded on Mai. "I know, okay?" She turned back to Ty Lee. "It's…" Azula huffed, obviously frustrated. "It's not your fault. We'll just… share yours tonight." Azula concentrated to hold back a blush.
Ty Lee and Mai blinked at each other.
"Okay, 'Zula. If you're sure…"
Azula nodded. "It'll be fine." Azula walked away, letting her anger dissipate.
Mai looked bored, but she watched Ty Lee closely while the princess' back was turned. The young acrobat smiled broadly.
