CHILLY
Azula and Ty Lee shiver, rain dripping from their limbs and hair.
It is a chilly night. An extremely cold one, especially by Fire Nation standards. And they spent most of it walking - running, upon occasion - through the pouring rain trying to find their way back to the palace after escaping for the night in pursuit of a taste of real life.
"Let's go get undressed," orders Azula, and Ty Lee hurries to follow her through the most deserted hallways. They safely make it to the princess's bedroom without being caught and Ty Lee can finally breathe. She knows she would be in much, much more trouble than Azula for this.
"Do you have an outfit I can borrow for the night, princess? I'm freezing!" inquires Ty Lee with a bat of her curly eyelashes.
Azula wordlessly and expressionlessly gestures at the closet. Ty Lee bows and starts rummaging.
As soon as they stand with clothes they… stare at each other.
It is new. Strange and new.
"Turn around," says Azula at last.
Ty Lee does not hesitate to obey.
But she peeks. Oh, she peeks.
And maybe that burning desire is why this chilly night is so awkward.
