Hey there! I feel like it's been ages since I updated this, haha. I was a little busy with exams and hence, the delay. As always, thank you to everyone who has been reading, and especially the ones who have favorited/followed/reviewed: blali, kquinn7, ShexRainbow, and Indigo (I'm really glad I can reply privately to you now, hehe.)
Without further ado, please enjoy this chapter!

Ty Lee: Oh, Azula? Is everything okay with your mongoose?
Azula: Yeah. I think he's a little scared of flying though.
Zuko: Hold the fuck on.
Zuko: Are you flying WITH it?!
Zuko: It is WITH you?!
Azula: Of course it is. What are you even saying?
Zuko: It's WITH you?!
Azula: Zuzu, you astound me with how bad you can be with words.
Azula: The same incomprehensible question asked in three different ways.
Azula: Brilliant, brother.
Ty Lee: I think what Zuko means to say is aren't there special cabins for pets?
Ty Lee: Right, Zuko?
Zuko: Yes
Zuko: Thank you.
Azula: This is an emotional support mongoose.
Azula: It's not a pet.
Azula: Don't talk like a peasant for Agni's sake.
Mai: your brother looks like shit
Zuko: Excuse me?
Mai: you look like shit
Zuko: And you know this how?
Mai: your 3 o'clock
Mai: please don't try and come and talk to me
Mai: there's a reason why i'm taking a different flight
Zuko: Yeah, okay.
Mai: cool
Zuko: I wasn't planning on it, by the way.
Mai: k
Ty Lee: The next two days are supposed to be about good vibes and wholesome feels
Ty Lee: Right, guys?
Zuko: Sure
Azula: The question is, why do you look like shit, Zuzu?
Azula: Everything okay in peasant paradise?

[Today 8:43 am]
Mai: it took me 5 minutes to find this group
Mai: who changed the name?
Azula: Who do you think?
Mai: anyway
Mai: i really think something's wrong with your brother
Azula: Why?
Mai: he looked like someone was repeatedly stabbing him in the gut when you mentioned that girl
Azula: Katara?
Mai: ya
Ty Lee: Maybe they fought
Ty Lee: A lovers' tiff :(
Azula: But why?
Azula: He is disgustingly in love with her.
Azula: Sorry, Mai. You probably don't want to hear this.
Mai: no it's okay
Azula: Really?
Azula: Repressed emotions are like blades killing us from the inside
Azula: ^^ My therapist said this.
Mai: i don't have repressed emotions
Mai: or whatever
Mai: not about your brother anyway
Mai: he pulled the final dick move
Mai: but i'm not going to pretend that i didn't see it coming
Ty Lee: I'm so sorry, Mai.
Mai: you don't have to be
Mai: we're better off this way
Mai: but thanks
Ty Lee: Always

Hehe
[Today 5:56 pm]
Azula: Where did the two of you go?
Azula: Zuzu has run away to his room because he is scared of my mongoose.
Mai: we're at the beach
Mai: will be back in an hour
Ty Lee: Yes, I am just finishing taking a few shots of Mai
Ty Lee: The sunlight is glorious 3
Azula: Very well, then.
Azula: Also, I spoke to Zuzu about his girlfriend.
Azula: According to him, she hasn't been talking to him "properly" over the last few days.
Azula: Agni knows what "properly" means.
Ty Lee: Has she stopped replying to his texts?
Azula: No, not really.
Azula: Zuzu says she has been colder.
Azula: Again, I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
Mai: knowing your brother he probably said something stupid to piss her off
Azula: Yeah, he thinks he has upset her somehow.
Ty Lee: He should just talk to her
Azula: Well, Zuzu needs his own time to mope and sulk and be a drama queen before he can do what needs to be done.
Ty Lee: I feel really bad for him.
Mai: me too

Mai: ok
Azula: Yes, please.
Azula: I can't stay in this house anymore.

[Today 7:12 pm]
Ty Lee: Hey, Zuko!
Ty Lee: What's up?
Zuko: Hi
Zuko: Nothing much.
Zuko: I'm just a little tired.
Ty Lee: Everything okay?
Zuko: Yeah
Ty Lee: You know you can talk to me about anything, right?
Zuko: I know
Zuko: Thanks
Zuko: But things are okay.
Ty Lee: I'm really good at giving relationship advice, you know.
Ty Lee: My friends at Kyoshi always come to me whenever they need help.
Zuko: Um okay
Zuko: That's nice to know.
Ty Lee: I get the occasional Tumblr ask about relationships too.
Ty Lee: I've had anons tell me how helpful my advice was.
Zuko: That's great, Ty Lee.
Ty Lee: I am really reliable.
Zuko: I know what you're doing and I don't want to talk about it.
Ty Lee: That's okay! But in case you want to...
Zuko: I really thought things were finally falling into place and now it's come to this again.
Zuko: I know what comes next after this kind of strained conversation.
Zuko: It happened last time. It'll happen again. We'll just stop talking and that'll be it.
Ty Lee: Oh, Zuko.
Zuko: I don't even know what I did wrong.
Ty Lee: Hey, I'm sure whatever this is it can be fixed.
Ty Lee: From what you told us, she really likes you, okay?
Zuko: Yeah, I'm not so sure.
Ty Lee: You'd be surprised to know how many relationships crumble because of poor communication.
Ty Lee: Maybe that's what this is.
Zuko: I don't know, Ty Lee.
Zuko: Katara has never shied away from telling me what's on her mind.
Ty Lee: Look, Zuko. There's no point guessing what's gone wrong.
Ty Lee: You should just ask her
Zuko: I can't do that
Ty Lee: Why not?
Zuko: I just can't
Ty Lee: Zuko
Zuko: I need some time, okay?
Zuko: Thanks for checking in on me.
Ty Lee: You never have to thank me 3
Ty Lee: Btw we are going to the new restaurant that's opened near the beach.
Ty Lee: Are you in the mood for some komodo chicken?
Zuko: You don't have to. There are leftovers from lunch.
Ty Lee: Okay, I'll get it packed for you.
Zuko: Thanks, Ty Lee.

thepaintedlady: the last few days have been the worst and you have no idea how much better you made me feel
of-pink-auras: Hey, you know you don't have to thank me ever.
of-pink-auras: I'm really sorry things have been tough for you. But I'm sure they'll get better very soon!

of-pink-auras: I have to admit that I went through your blog and if I'm not wrong this is the same person you thought could have been more than a friend?
thepaintedlady: lol yes
thepaintedlady: is it that obvious?
of-pink-auras: Only if someone has a good eye
thepaintedlady: well yeah, funnily he texted me the day after i made that first post
thepaintedlady: and then we got talking and i thought things were going great till he said he's going on a vacation with his ex
thepaintedlady: and the strangest bit is that he just said it so... normally? like it was no big deal that he was going to spend days on end at a beach with his ex?
of-pink-auras: Oh
of-pink-auras: I'm so sorry
thepaintedlady: it's alright
thepaintedlady: i'm okay
thepaintedlady: i will be okay
of-pink-auras: It's his loss, you know.

#for two of my favorite mutuals #it will get better
[Today 12:09 am]
Zuko: Did you have to make that post on Tumblr?!
Zuko: Your friend is messaging me now.
Zuko: I really don't feel like talking to anyone.
Ty Lee: What?
Zuko: Your friend
Zuko: thepaintedlady
Ty Lee: But I never tagged you.
Zuko: How many times have you called us your favorite mutuals before? -_-
Ty Lee: Oh, no.
Zuko: Yes
Ty Lee: I'm so sorry. I never thought of this.
Zuko: I don't want to talk to her.
Zuko: I don't want to talk to anyone.
Ty Lee: But can I tell you something?
Ty Lee: She has been going through some of the same things as you actually.
Zuko: What?
Ty Lee: Yes. I spoke to her.
Ty Lee: HOLD ON
Ty Lee: This must be the universe's sign, Zuko!
Zuko: What? -_-
Ty Lee: It's difficult to confide in people you know but strangers? That's a lot simpler
Ty Lee: Maybe this is the universe hinting you should talk to her!
Zuko: Sure, why not?
Ty Lee: Look, isn't it her post that made you talk to Katara in the first place?
Zuko: Yeah, so?
Ty Lee: So. SIGNS!
Zuko: You don't make sense at all.
Ty Lee: BUT I DO!
Ty Lee: Trust me, Zuko. Some auras attract each other. There's nothing you can do about it.
Zuko: Yeah, okay.
Ty Lee: So...?
Zuko: So, I'm going to sleep now.
Ty Lee: At least think about it?
Zuko: Maybe
Ty Lee: YES!
