Mai was bored to say the least, but to her the word bored just wasn't accurate enough especially considering that she was sad too although you couldn't see it on the outside, the reason for her sadness of course being a certain hot tempered prince of the Fire Nation.
Zuko had broken up with her again via a letter, telling her that he had been seeing someone else for the past few weeks. Reading the letter filled Mai with both anger and sadness for two reasons. Reason one being that Zuko had been cheating on her for such a long period of time and reason two being that he couldn't breakup with her in person, but instead sent a letter via messenger hawk.
Deciding that she needed to clear her mind of all the bad thoughts going through it, she left the royal Fire Nation palace witch she lived in while visiting Azula,
Once outside of the palace walls, she made her way to the market place in hopes of relaxing. Sure enough Mai did find a place to relax but even that didn't last long once she saw someone who everyone presumed to be dead. She saw the Avatar.
To the untrained eye the Avatar didn't look like the Avatar at all, but to those who payed more attention to detail like Mai it was pretty obvious. She could see the small tip of his arrow sticking out from his headband as well as his eye color and his actions, noo one from the Fire Nation homeland or colonies acted the way this boy was.
Smirking at herself as an evil thought came to mind she got up and made her way over to him then bumped into him and pretended to fall and get hurt. Giving a yell, Mai got the boy's attention as he knelt down to help her "I'm sorry I-." He stopped and Mai presumed it was because he saw who she was and froze up. Deciding to pressure him further she spoke in a whining voice "Oww, ahh, oww, that really hurt, why couldn't you have stood somewhere else?" She asked the frozen boy who now ducked his head in embarrassment and shame, but from where Mai was it looked like he ducked his head so that she couldn't see and recognize him "I'm so sorry, if I had known you were coming this way I would have stood way over there." He said pointing to the opposite side of where they were while with the other hand offering her a hand to pull her up.
Mai smiled at his gesture before taking his hand and getting pulled up 'Well, at least this boy is a gentleman, unlike Zuko.' She thought while dusting herself off then something else came to mind "What's your name?" She asked sounding like her usual self again. "Kuzon" Was the boy's simple answer witch shocked the Fire Nation girl 'So that's what he calls himself now eh? Well I guess I can understand why he used a fake name, using your real name you're surrounded by Fire Nation people would be like committing suicide.' Snapping out of her thoughts she gave her 'Best' smile and introduced herself "I'm Mai." The boy nodded as he smiled like an idiot, like the Avatar would.
Mai found that she actually enjoyed this Kuzon guy's company even though they were currently engaged in awkward silence Mai felt different aroound this boy, instead of feeling depressed like she usually did she felt like a normal teenage girl to her it was kind of funny how she could feel this way, especially since she she just met this person, but she knew he was the Avatar even if 'Kuzon' didn't say so himself and knowing that made Mai feel like it was okay to experience these sudden change in emotions.
Kuzon felt like it was his responsibility to break the uncomfortable silence and so he did "So, were you heading anywhere you know since I bumped into you at this place." He said waving his hand around, gesturing to the market place. Mai slowly nodded "Yes, I was on my way to... pick up some kamono chicken, yeah!" She said nervously rubbing the back of her neck. Kuzon cocked an eyebrow at the mention of a strange type of chicken. Being a vegetarian he didn't actually like chiken, but he learned to quickly get over the idea of someone eating meat because this was the Fire Nation and their Way of life is much different than the Air Nations and like Sokka said 'everyone here eats meat, even the meat.'
Smiling to the Fire Nation girl he said "Can I come, I've never heard of Kamono chicken before and besides I have nothing to do." Mai was taken aback by this, but only a little 'Of course he's never heard of Kamono chicken before he is a vegetarian' Mai thought to herself before turning to Kuzon "Sure, why not." She said and the two children made their way to a different part of the market place.
Once at their desired destination, Kuzon and Mai asked for cooked Kamono chicken to witch the woman behind the stand nodded and told them that it would take a while to cook it. Kuzon and Mai both nodded and moved to sit at a table nearby to talk "So, you've never heard of or even had Kamono chicken before?" Mai asked with an amused grin on her face. Kuzon noticed it and gave one of his own "Well yes, you see I'm a vegetarian from the colonies in Ba Sing Sei and before the Fire Nation took over we never ate Kamono chicken." He said to an understanding Mai.
A few minutes later the cooked Kamono chicken came and afterwards Kuzon and Mai said their goodbyes and Mai surprisingly even hugged Kuzon as they went their separate ways.
For now.
