Day two of their month long vacation was torment at best. It was two types of torture as Azula showed great restraint in her resistance to kill the fire lady for inviting her from her underground dealings in Yu Dao, while likewise viewing Ty Lee in her new body covered by two, skimpy articles of clothing. Azula kept her distance by taking a seat under her umbrella while Mai and Ty Lee shared one. Noticing her friend's voluntary solitude, the acrobat pouted in her direction. Azula kept her eyes glued to the sun, hoping she would lose her eyesight like her brother's blind friend to avoid the beautiful woman's face.
"Azula, this is our vacation," commented Ty Lee. "Stop being a downer".
It was Azula's turn to pout back. "I need to stretch my limbs," was her best lie, though it was a half-truth. Kori woke with the sun begging for one more fuck on the bathroom sink before she left the princess's room in the rental house.
The soreness in Azula's limbs was a result of a very hasty round of orgasms before she left to join her childhood friends.
"Yeah, I offered your guest breakfast before she left," remarked Mai casually.
Ty Lee's pout deepened as she and Azula had a "glare-down". "Azula…" Groaned the acrobat. "Come on. I can massage wherever you're sore".
Azula wanted to laugh aloud. "My dreams are coming true," she mumbled.
After several more of Ty Lee's cute pouts, Azula finally joined the women underneath their umbrella. Ty Lee gave a warm smile, taking Azula's stiff leg in her soft hands and went to work kneading out the tension as she had done multiple times without request after their battles with the avatar. Azula's eyes met her friend's when she remembered how well the acrobat catered to her needs when she was her father's lap dog. Azula had been under so much pressure and stress that she never paid attention to the unintentional, tender moments that they had shared.
She longed to go back and correct those mistakes. She would have shown Ty Lee that she was appreciated, then it would be her curling in bed with the contortionist every night, not General Mak.
"Do you?"
Azula shook her head. She had not been listening and was just noticing that it was the two of them alone. Mai had gone to fetch fire flakes from a nearby canteen shop.
"Hmm?" Asked Azula, watching Ty Lee switch to the other leg.
"It was nothing, really, Princess. I was just wondering if you were seeing anyone, now? You know, since you've been in Yu Dao".
"You should know the answer," Azula answered coldly. "You should also know that what I said years ago was a product of my lost mind. I have sense come to terms with reality. I regret allowing myself to say such things to you".
Ty Lee quirked an eyebrow and Azula was pleased with her ability to remain calm, though her heart burned whenever she remembered her confession to the acrobat after her wedding, met with rejection. She had promised herself that she would never experience such pain again. She was done with…relationships. They were only for the weak who had nothing to strive for in life, but weddings and babies.
"But what about your…um…your guest?" Ty Lee probed.
Azula gave a careless shrug, wincing when Ty Lee's fingers pressed an old fracture in her ankle from her first fight with the water peasant. "Come on Ty Lee, you're not ignorant, we both know that. Just because I slept with someone does not mean I am going to run off and marry them in fairy tale land to bring home little cuddly babies". She said, slightly ashamed of the bitterness in her words.
"Oh, I just thought well, you let her stay over…"
Azula thought on it. It was true that she NEVER allowed anyone to sleep in her bed except for Ty Lee, though the two had never even shared a kiss. That fact had remained true, until Kori wore her out with her hunger. Maybe she did enjoy Kori a little too much. The girl had already claimed that she was going to leave her boyfriend, obviously, being allowed to sleep overnight was only giving her more wrong ideas.
"Well, you know the nights are cold here," she answered, waving Ty Lee away.
"You're a firebender," pointed out Ty Lee, making Azula bite her inner cheek at the terrible lie.
Before Azula could change subjects, two women approached them wearing pleasant smiles and holding hands. Ember Island was definitely the land of gorgeous women and Azula relished in the sight before her, making Ty Lee turn to look at what caught the princess's attention.
"Hi, Ladies," greeted one of the women, her skin sun-kissed with lengthy, dark hair that hung below her shoulders in loose curls. "My girlfriend and I were wondering if you ladies wanted to come by our beach house? We don't see many lesbians around these parts".
Ty Lee opened her mouth to reject the offer, but Azula quickly cut in. "She's married with kids, but I do find this island lacking for entertainment".
The girl licked her lips and gestured for Azula to follow her and her girlfriend to their beach house not far from where Azula was staying with her friends. Luckily Mai returned to the pouting acrobat shortly after Azula hurried after them.
"She just went with them," Ty Lee choked out. "I bet they're going to have sex".
Mai shrugged. "What do you care anyway? At least she won't try to hit on you anymore," Ty Lee's eyes followed the princess until she was gone from sight. A nudge on the elbow made her break away. "Fire flakes?"
