ate candy
Ty Lee gave candy to the princess.
Sure, it was not one of the gifts her parents said she should give, but Azula could use some sugar in her life. The princess looked at it, sickened, and Ty Lee hid her tears with a wide smile.
"It's fine! That's why I got you this adorable…" She reached around the table and ripped the ribbon from her letter to her secret crush. "hair ribbon!"
Azula shoots her a pitying glance. But, against all odds, the princess took the ribbon forward and tied it ribbon over the tighter strings holding her bun in place.
"It's good." Good! Azula had never given such high praise for a gift. Or, well, anything.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ty Lee coughed when she realized she was way too eager. She worried for a moment that Azula could see right through her.
Azula gave her a small glance that a more mature eye would see love in, but Ty Lee was too caught up in her own thoughts of romance that she did not notice. They were young, anyway, just children with no worries more than fleeting, blushing glances.
"You don't…" Ty Lee whispered, pushing her luck, "think that I could have the candy?"
Princess Azula shrugged. "You may, if you grovel and beg."
Ty Lee was on the gravel in an instant, nearly kissing her princess's feet.
Azula managed not to laugh.
That was plenty of sweetness for her life, without risking her father's wrath.
