Fire Lord Taishi 25th

Year of the Sun

Two hours after noon

Father is once again gone.

It's no surprise really but that is not the issue pressing my mind. Kairi has been acting very strange since her meeting with Father and Intend to find out why. I've already questioned Shinji but the little brat seemed quite happy. Apparently Father approves of Shinji's plans of joining the army. He's completely unaware that Shinji is only doing to to please him.

The army is a pointless field anyway. There is no war at the moment so the need for the army is only really for ceremonal purposes. I feel quite glad actually because if my brother ended up in a war I'm pretty sure he'd panic and as much as I detest the little peasent I would seek vengence for his death and the villa would be quiet without him.

It's a lovely day today.

The blossom trees are in bloom and the grass is covered in small delicate petals. The Koi fish are out bathing in the warm sunlight and everything seems to be in a dreamy slumber. It's peaceful and calm. I can even see the mountains in the distance and the orange glow of the Sun hitting of their peaks.

I like days like this...too many and it would get dull but once every once in a while is nice. It reminds me of my mother. My memories of her are getting fewer and fewer as I get older. I feel like I'm clinging to the remains. I do however remember her perfume...Tiger Lilly.

Perhaps I am getting too sentimental. It does no good to dwell on the past and it's depressing. I must focus on the future.

I sent a letter to Mielia.

Dear Mielia,

My Father arrived home last night and told me of the Festival? Are you attending? I am because apperantly Fire Lady Lien wishes me to meet Sozin and we both know what that means so I may need your assistance.

It's dull around here without you. I hope you are well and that the Bei Fongs treat you well and that your Aunt remains at a safe distance.

Your friend,

Maeko Azu x

I couldn't really think of anything else to say...I do hope she is alright. A part of me would long to think of her stubbornly defying the rules of the Bei Fong household with a spark of chaos in her amber eyes...

Anyway if Mielia is coming she will ensure that Sozin remains a firm distance from me. I think I shall go find Kairi now.

#Later#

I found Kairi earlier.

Shockingly she was in the library of all places. The library is usually my domain since I enjoy reading but Kairi was sitting there at armchair raking her fingers through her soft hair( A sure sign she's upset if she'd risk harm to her hair)

After some pushing on my part she finally told me what Father has been saying to her. Apparently he is displeased that she has been of marrying age for four years and has not yet gained a husband.

I wish he was here because I'd love to fry him on the spot.

He is so old-fashioned! For Agni sake it's not like she's short of suitors! I don't see him pestering Chen Len about his lack of wife! Oh...I am going to practice after this entry to vent my frustrations!

Anyway the remark seemed to have upsetted her quite a bit. I think he put it a bit more harshly than that but Kairi seems to think he's insinuating that no one will find her attractive which is plain ridiculous! Kairi has a beauty that I'll never posess! Anyway I think Kairi's more angry than upset.

Which is bad. Kairi is plain pyschopathic when she's angry.

I can usually control my temper. It makes people angry if you smile at them when there yelling. I vent it through firebending but Kairi cannot bend so she unleashes her fury by becoming paranoid.

Well I suppose I had better go and check on here. I think I'll go find Shinji and see if he's up for a sparring session.
