FRANTIC
"He's gonna be so mad! Why am I holding it?" Ty Lee screamed as she frantically followed Azula down the palace corridors. "WHY AM I HOLDING IT?"
"Because you stole it, of course!" Azula shouted, laughing.
"You stole it!" Ty Lee shrieked, neglecting the fact that Azula was royalty and she was not. "I'm gonna get killed for you!"
Azula stopped her frantic skittering and slipped into a dusty closet, beckoning for Ty Lee to follow. Ty Lee slid inside with Zuko's stupid knife in her hands. Maybe he would not notice. Ty Lee certainly hoped for that, because she knew Azula would use her as a scapegoat.
"Wouldn't you die for me, though?" Azula purred so prettily. Ty Lee averted her eyes.
"Yeah, but I don't want to die this young! I wanna grow up and get married and have a future and all that. But I would die for you."
Azula hesitates.
"I do have an excellent sense of self-preservation, so I can't say I'd die for anyone. But I don't want you to die, and I will hold the knife if you're so scared." Azula extended a hand. "I am not afraid of ZuZu, but you apparently are for some reason."
Ty Lee hands Azula the knife and smiles in the darkness.
That was kinda sweet.
