Noon
Mielia is furious.
A hawk arrived today. I thought it would be another message from home but actually it was from Lord Shu Bei Fong.
He says he expects his wife to be in Ba Sing Sei by the 14th of next month...that is a week before Mielia and I planned to arrive there...really what good is it going to do us turning up two weeks early?
Anyway Mielia was fuming about being ordered around like a common servant. She wrote a very angry reply letter...I do hope that no one but Shu see's it or it could cause him great embarassement. He would be stupid to argue with Mielia and he would be even dumber to pick a fight with me.
I may be a guest in this Nation but I still have power...he argues with me then however indirectly he is arguing with the Fire Nation...he wouldn't like to see the spin I could put on that...or I could just as Sozin to put a word in...but I won't. I'll handle this matter on my own.
Mielia's temper has been flaring ever since. I think she may be over-reacting a bit. I tried to calm her down by getting her to drink some herbal tea...not that I would ever touch the stuff. I liked it when I was little but then Chen dared me to drink to cups of cold tea...I'm afraid to say I lost the taste for the stuff. However it works wonders on Mielia.
I gabbered away to her about our costumes. I know it shall have to be something a bit more refined than my usual taste...I am at loss...what on earth do I wear? Most people just turn up with small masks over their faces and say their some made up spirit. I can't think of anyone...I mean there's hundreds of spirits and I can't even think of one?
I thought about Avatar Kyoshi...but then decided against. It would be embarassing if Avatar Roku turned up and saw me dressed as his past life! Now I'm in stiches picturing him in a Kyoshi outfit...It must be difficult being an Avatar knowing that in a past life you were of the oposite gender. I'd find it disturbing.
I suppose I could dress up as some minor spirit..
Mielia plans to just wear a fancy kimono and say she's a river spirit or something like that. I think I shall research my spirits. I know a lot but I suppose a little extra knowledge could help.
Shinji is happy. For once he is included in this social occasion. I can't believe that he's going to be fourteen in four months...
