BORED

"I'm bored already," Mai says as she looks around the party. She sucks at parties, even these stuffy political debacles. "Zuko, make this interesting."

Zuko perks up, swallowing. He clearly does not know how to keep his girlfriend entertained. He does offer her his hand, and he does walk her away. Azula does not think he will manage to amuse her, or even make her smile.

"They are so cute," Ty Lee swoons and Azula looks at her in disgust.

"They are pathetic," the princess replies and Ty Lee straightens her back.

"I wish somebody would do that with me," she says dreamily, her eyes too glowy.

"Hold your hand?" Azula asks.

"Yes. I wish somebody would hold my hand."

Azula is silent for a moment. "You may ask if I will hold your hand."

"Will you hold my hand?" Ty Lee clasps her hands together. Her eyes sparkle.

"No."
