Day One — Luck
Ty Lee is thrilled and Azula tries to share that with her. But it is a little bit difficult when there is the entire daunting deal of a baby for her to take care of as the other mother. However, Azula is well equipped to face any situation life throws at her.
And it likes to throw awful situations her way for some reason; the Universe has a horrid sense of humor.
Like Ty Lee being thrilled moments before bursting into hysterical tears that Azula had no idea how to stop.
At the moment, Azula is staring into the mirror, her eyes fixated on herself. Ty Lee is behind her, also reflected in the glass, but lying on her bed with a quizzical expression on. Azula combs her fingers through her hair as she gazes at herself during her attempts to make Ty Lee feel better after the morning she spent crying.
"I am the most trustworthy other mother you could ever have," Azula announces breathily, and then she narrows her eyes at herself. "My mother will eternally seethe with jea─"
"Stop it," Ty Lee snaps despite the laughter in her voice.
Azula cocks an eyebrow and goes for her next statement. "And this child will be the conqueror of─"
"Stop it." Ty Lee is laughing now.
Azula does not find it funny. She is very serious when she says, "And we will be the most powerful fam─"
"I'm so glad you're excited and I love you so much but none of that is comforting at all," Ty Lee states warmly as she sits up on her knees and crawls towards the end of the bed. "I don't really know what I need to be comforted about. I was just crying, and I'm happy now."
Azula crosses her arms, her cheeks sucked in as she turns away from the mirror to see Ty Lee. The washed up warrior lies back further on Azula's bed, rubbing her toes on the soft silk and wondering what she is supposed to do at this announcement.
"I'm going to do all of the talking, Ty Lee. We both know that, right?" Azula remarks, her lips twitching into a smirk. "I will make everyone jealous of how marvelously lucky you are that I am going to marry you and make your illegitimate child royalty."
Ty Lee sighs. "I'm lucky to have you, but not because of that."
"Mmm?" Azula cocks an eyebrow. "It's truly the most generous thing I have ever done in my entire life. And to a person who had done such dreadful things to me and condoned worse ones."
"This is just to make you look good, isn't it?"
"No." Azula pauses for effect. "It's to make my family members rue the day they ever..."
Ty Lee chews on the side of her thumb. "I'm lucky that you made it to the other side."
Azula doesn't know what that means.
She doesn't want to, at least not tonight.
