For day 21 of comfortember, Hugs

"Azula!" Teo's chair slammed into the back of Azula's knees, knocking her over backwards into his lap.

"Teo!" Azula cried indignantly, "How many times have I told you not to do that?" For a moment it was almost like she'd gone back in time and was scolding Teo for undermining her dignity in front of ambassadors sent to Narnia she was entertaining.

"More than I can count," Teo said unrepentantly as he pulled her into a hug, "I missed you, Azula."

She hugged back, burying her face in his shoulder. "I missed you too."

Azula and Teo had never been the closest of their little group, but they were still siblings, and as the youngest of the rulers, they'd often gone to one another for things their older sibling monarchs just wouldn't understand, and hatched plans that had given even notoriously unflappable Suki the Undaunted and Laith the Steadfast headaches.. Azula had missed her confidant especially keenly during her time in the Fire Lord's court. She squeezed tighter. There were probably people watching, but at that exact moment Azula didn't care.

"Are we doing group hugs now?" Suki's voice came, arms wrapping around Azula and Teo both from behind his chair.

"Must be, Azula hasn't shocked either of us yet," Teo replied.

"Shut up," Azula growled, "I've just spent months in Fire Lord Ozai's court and this is the first time I've seen Teo since Narnia, I'm allowed to be a little emotional."

"Send out the criers," a calloused hand she knew belonged to Laith landed on her shoulder, "Azula admitted to having emotions in public." Despite the teasing, there was warmth and sympathy in his voice.

"Can't say I blame her," Suki murmured, "I've missed this. All of us being together."

Azula couldn't help but agree. The Undaunted, Steadfast, Merciful, and Wise, had been reunited, and it was wonderful.
