Title: "He was like you."
Rated: K
Pairing(s): Ozai/Ursa
Ursa looked out the bedroom window and then at her young daughter, who was cuddled up to her side. It had been Azula's very first week at the Fire Nation Academy for Girls and the girl seemed to have a great time. She had came home for the weekend and told Ursa about everything that happened. All the things she had tried and the people she had met. She went on and on, about how Ty Lee was her room mate and how the acrobat was too happy in the mornings. Then she told Ursa about her classes and what teachers she had. It was the first time she had wanted to tell Ursa about anything, that was really going on with her.
The older woman watched as the young girl moved around her bed, pulling the sheets against her skin like she was cold. Ursa smoothed the child's hair back and tucked the sheets into her, "Good night Azula."
The child looked up at her mother, "Mom, we have to do a project on family history."
Ursa looked at Azula and sighed, "Well the library has a complete list of Sozin's line and plenty of family members."
Azula looked at the woman, "Well, I know all that. Tell me about your parents."
Ursa looked at the child who wanted to know her family history, besides what was written in a book. Ozai had told Ursa to never tell the child she was related to Avatar Ruko. He said, it would fill her head with thoughts of ending the war the wrong way. Ursa thought it would teach the girl a little compassion and a respect for peace that once ruled the world. She looked at Azula and smiled, "Were do you want me to start?"
Azula laid back on her silk sheets, "Tell me about your father."
Ursa smiled, she had not talked about her father in years. Ozai did not really listen when she talked about him, so she stopped telling him about the man. She was happy to have someone who wanted to hear about him. She smiled, "Well...he was like you."
