Azula: "Stop the carriage!"
The leader of the ostrich horse royal transport immediately stopped his ostrich-horse, and the other riders soon followed his example, including the ones directly controlling the direction of their carriage.
Zuko: "Why did you ask—"
Azula: "I told them to stop because I'm seeing bathhouses and resting areas nearby. I need to relieve myself, and if possible, clean up a bit. We've been moving for hours now after all."
Zuko: "Okay. I'll be waiting here I guess."
Azula: "No, you're going to wash up. Right now. You reek and I don't think I can take another moment sitting next to you while you smell like that."
Zuko: *Throws hands up in the air*
Zuko: "Alright fine, I'll go wash up your highness."
Azula: *Eyes closed and wearing a self-satisfied smile*
Azula: "Wonderful, see you in a bit stinky."
Both got up and out of the carriage and explained to their transport and protection what they planned to do.
Zuko stood outside the bathhouse, close enough that when Azula walked out she would see him right away, but far enough so as to not come across as a village lecher.
Zuko: *Crosses arms and leans on tree, waiting in annoyance*
"Lee?! Is that really you?!"
That voice sounded very familiar to him.
Zuko: *Turns to see a face from the past some distance away*
It was that girl he went out with on one cut-short date a few years ago. Jin, wasn't it?
Jin: "Wow, I can't believe you're Fire Lord!"
Jin: *Begins running towards him with her arms out*
Jin: "How did you manage to accomplish th—"
Azula: *Walks out of bathhouse and places herself in front of Zuko*
Azula: "Get your own man instead of trying to steal another woman's!"
Azula: *Raises hand in attack mode*
Azula: "You dirty street harlot!"
Azula: *K.O.'s Jin with one slap*
Zuko: *Eyes bulge out of head*
Azula: *Dusts off hand on traditional Fire Nation robe*
Azula: "Ughck! She was actually dirty! Okay, now let's get back on track to the Earth Kingdom Palace. I believe it's four fire sloop's-worth of carriage riding ahead, followed by two more to the right."
He hadn't even gotten a chance to say hello to the poor girl, and though he did feel sorry for her, he couldn't help but smile with pride and amusement at his love's reaction to Jin's sudden appearance alone.
He placed a hand on her slightly rotund stomach and rubbed it, already feeling the growing warmth inside.
Azula: *Smiles sweetly as he does so*
Moments passed.
Azula: "I do hope though, that you had enough sense to not touch her, ZuZu."
Zuko: "Oh, uh...well, years back we had this one date but—"
Azula: "Say no more. We're definitely resanitizing you when we get back home to our palace."
Azula: I need the peace of mind it'll bring.
These days, no one but her and (occasionally) a chosen few, were allowed to touch him. A very small price to pay for her hand in marriage.
