Honora had to admit, flying to Republic City on Appa was definitely something she thought her father would never agree to. He had seemed however, pleased that she had saw their logic and wanted to improve. The tension between the royal Fire Nation family had eased after Honora agreed; much to the relief of everyone. Aang had come to pick Honora up, along with Katara, Kya,and Tenzin, and the only time he seemed the slightest bit annoyed at the prospect was when she brought out her luggage. "Honora," he started, glancing at her luggage and then at Appa. "Why do you need-" He paused a moment to count them "Seven cases of things?"

"Oh!" Honora exclaimed, counting them over. "I'm so sorry! I left one in my room. Azia!" She called to one out of two girls standing beside the bags. "Go get the bag I left by my bed, and be quick, you wouldn't want to be left behind after all!"

"Woah, woah, wait Honora." Aang responded, blinking like he had no clue what was going on, while looking at her with a critical expression. "Why is she coming with us?"

"Oh she isn't the only one." Honora said, suddenly realizing that this conversation was not going the way she planned. "Ruka is coming with us as well…" She trailed off, seeing Aang's expression as he looked behind her at her father. "Zuko?" The Avatar asked, his eyebrows raised. "I didn't know that I had to take her servants as well." The three were the only ones present in the conversation. Katara and Mai were talking about something maternity related, and Kya and Tenzin were arguing on Appa, however, Honora felts her cheeks go red with hot embarrassment.

"She- well, Honora, you aren't." Zuko's voice boomed through the air, his tone dangerously low. "Honora go tell your maids that they can absolutely not come. Also," He added, as he saw Azia huffing back with the last packing case, "you may only take three bags."

"But Father," Honora started, but Zuko cut her off. "You will only take two bags if you continue to argue with me! Honora, you said to me yourself a few nights ago that you were going to try to live more simply!"

Honora huffed, and stomping off, went back into the palace. She somehow managed to order Ruka and Azia to bring the bags back to her room, while being able to pass as very much miffed and brooding. The adults gazed at her, not angry, just with a knowing expression of somewhat disappointment and amusement.

The moment of sudden silence that was forming ever so suddenly was broken as Kya slid off Appa. "I'll help her." She said, Kaya had stopped talking to Tenzin only to hear the last part of the argument Honora was involved in. Kya honestly didn't feel any pity for her, it wasn't like she had any servants, and she definitely didn't own enough things to put them into three bags, much less eight. Still, Honora was her friend, and though they had their differences, Kya supposed that Honora was still immensely loyal. It could also be noted, Kya mused as she walked towards the house, no, palace, that Honora's behavior was due to being spoiled at a very young age. Kya, however, would never in a million years say that out loud; and especially, especially, not to Mai.


"Hello, my young Turtleduck." Kya said, leaning against the doorway as she tried to steady Ruka, who was about to drop all the remaining three bags that had to be carted back to the room. There was a pause as Honora looked up, then came forward in a quick streak of her Fire Nation red garments.

"Hello to you too, my White Hamster!" Honora said, embracing Kya in a tight, warm, hug.

"It's been so long, what? Two years?"

"It's been too short." Kya replied, as she started to open the eight bags. "How much stuff did you pack?"

"Very funny, Kya." Honora sniffed jokingly as she peered over Kya's shoulder. "Those are the pictures I painted, decoration, you know? I have three bags for clothes, two other bags for dresses and more, ah, fancy clothes, that paintings bag, and the other two bags contain my Polar Bear Dog bedsheets and some random stuff around my room. Really that last bag is just amusement, some knick knacks."

"No shoes besides what you have on?" Kya asked, wondering how much stuff a person could own. Honora shook her head. "No… my parents never let me get any fancy shoes. I'm hoping to go shopping in Republic City."

"I see." Kya commented dryly, "Don't you think this is a bit… much?"

"Kya, darling, nothing is ever too much." Honora drawled playfully, but the straightened her back. "But no, I don't. I'll be living there for two years, Kya that's a lot. Plus, Ruka and Azia won't be there," She gestured to her two servants who were standing awkwardly beside the door, probably wondering if they were dismissed or not.

They were probably the poor ones who had packed everything, under Honora's instruction. Kya looked at her friend, then back at the servants. Kya gave a quick wave of her hand. She hoped that it was a cue of dismissal, and not some offensive gesture that of course, Kya wouldn't have known about. The two girls glanced between Kya and Honora, who was still looking at her things, then back at Kya. Kya gave a small, subtle nod, and their minds obviously made up, the two maids left.

That's done. Kya thought. And next the difficult part.

"Now," Kya started as she put a hand on Honora's shoulder. "Let's repack." And sincerely hope that you know how to dress yourself, Kya wanted to add, but instead gave a small, tight, nod at Honora's sulking gaze.


I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Next chapter will be when Honora gets to Republic City, with flashbacks between the present chapter up until her arrival. I'll also be able to update faster, within the next week probably. Also, as a parting note, Honora's child hood will be revealed bit by bit. The only thing hint I'm going to say is to think about her Firebending, and what was said last chapter. :) Thank you all!
