Azula stood on trial. An unofficial trial. It was not like the ones that deemed she was too young and too mentally unfit to do the right thing in the war. It was more like the ones her father forced her through constantly in his desperate attempt to control every aspect of her life and honestly it was not flattering on ZuZu.
He sat at the dining table. She stood with her arms crossed, uncertain if she should just walk out without answering his wildly invasive questions about Ty Lee.
A lock of her hair fell over her right eye, giving her a dark appearance that ought to have intimidated him into silence. Unfortunately, it did not work.
"We… dated before the comet. Are you satisfied, brother?" demanded Azula, glowering quite violently at Fire Lord Zuko.
His perplexed expression utterly infuriated her. How could he pass judgment when he spent so much time in the company of Mai? Between her and Ty Lee, she certainly was the less desirable one.
She forgot to hide her triumphant smirk and Zuko narrowed his eyes at her.
"What?" he asked.
She broadened her smile, a move she saved for special occasions. "Just thinking about how you settled for the lesser best friend. And how absurd it is you never noticed me and Ty Lee's affair."
Honestly, she felt quite satisfied with how this conversation went.
Zuko, on the other hand, absolutely did not.
