005. Bored
Ty Lee taps her fingers nervously on the table. Mai stares at them, enraptured by the uneven pounding. Finally, the acrobat summons the courage to speak.
"We're bored," Ty Lee says hurriedly, afraid of the words leaving her lips.
"I know. This place sucks," Mai says with a lackadaisical yawn.
"No, not us. I called you here to talk about me and Azula, remember?" Ty Lee says brusquely and Mai shrugs. Both of them are technically right.
"So? You're not interested in her wild unpredictability anymore? That's probably healthy or something." Mai does not think she is the best person to come to for relationship advice of all things.
Ty Lee leans in closer and clears her throat. "Not that kind of bored."
It takes Mai a beat to realize it, but she instantly sits back in her chair. "I'm not that kind of romantic advisor."
"But you have to help fix our sex life. You're our mutual best friend," Ty Lee wails and Mai thinks that that is not how it works.
"Are you asking me to have a threesome with you?" Mai asks in quiet disbelief.
"No." Ty Lee hesitates. "Unless you want to. Do you want to?"
Mai doesn't know how to respond to that.
