Lady of the night Ch 2 Calligraphy
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to ATLA except for the character Emiline. She is from my creation and belongs to me. XD
Emiline settled down and conversation murmured about the table while they all ate. Mai refrained from conversing and watched as Azula interacted with her new toy.
"Other than the heat how was the trip?" Azula inquired.
"I've never passed this way and found all of it highly interesting. The port here was spectacular! Did you know that that the Earthbenders can actually make their 'ships' out of stone and float them?" Emiline blathered, her excitement over this information was apparent. Azula faked a smile, a smile that Mai recognized as one she gave when she had no particular interest in the subject matter.
"You must be exhausted after such a long trip…"
"Oh certainly not!" Emiline interrupted, "In fact I'm excited about exploring this beautiful find of yours Princess Azula! I'd really prefer taking a tour of this glorious city!" noticing a faltering smile she added, "If your highness wouldn't mind…"
Azula paused for a moment Do I really want to 'explore' this stupid city again? No. But who will go with her? Mai would kill her… Ty Lee would grow bored and be rude…' her eyes landed on Zuko.
"Zuko would be happy to escort you Miss Emiline. Wouldn't you brother?" she gave him an evil grin only too well known to him.
"I'd be happy to,"
"Great! Can we start now?" Emiline asked eagerly.
Azula just smiled, "You may start whenever you like. I only ask that you remain in the inner ring of the city. We have survivors and prisoners in the outer rings and I'd rather you stay protected." She ended sternly to Zuko. Emiline didn't seem to put out at all as she jumped to her feet and asked Zuko if he was ready.
He silently rose while holding Azula's stare, "Let's go," together they left the dinning hall.
Silence. Azula rose and left the rest of the dinner party to their own devices.
