Purely for entertainment purposes. Filler chap XD
When Kazura was six, Katara proposed a trip to the Northern and Southern Water Tribes for all of them as a vacation from the stifling politics. Aang agreed enthusiastically, saying that they could stop at one or two of the air temples during their journey.
"So…who's going, then?" Zuko asked.
"Well, I'm going, definitely." Sokka grabbed a piece of bread from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Do all the people in your tribes eat as messily as you do, uncle Sokka?" Kazura asked. "Or is it just you, Peasant Savage?" She smirked. Sokka choked, and everyone else laughed.
"Kazu, that's not a polite thing to say!" Mai scolded.
"But aunt 'Zula says it all the time! In fact, she's got all sorts of nicknames for you all." Kazura said. Azula gave her niece her perfected 'I'm-going-to-skin-you-alive-not-really-but-you'd-better-run' look, and Kazura gulped.
"Oh really?" Zuko asked, rounding on his sister, who just grinned back at him angelically like she used to do when she was younger. "Like what?"
"Say them auntie! They're all awesome!" Kazura encouraged with an identical grin.
"Zuko…let's see…Honor Eater (A/N: Harry Potter reference ftw XD)…Hotman—"
"See I told you they still use this term!" Aang said triumphantly as Zuko blushed.
"Nobody except for you and Azula uses it, Aang." Zuko rolled his eyes.
"You'd be surprised. Many in the nation still joke about it." Azula informed him smugly. "You'd know if you'd actually step out of the palace."
"Shut up." The present Firelord grumbled. "And I forbid you to speak another word until the end of the meal." He said.
Azula caught Kazura's eyes, and the latter smiled wickedly, catching on to her aunt's intentions.
"Aunt Azula would like to say that she would like to go to the water tribes as well." Kazura said in a formal voice. Zuko gave her a weird look.
"Kazura, stop speaking for your aunt." He said. "And she's not going, too many people will protest."
Azula gave Kazura another discreet look.
"Aunt Azula would like to say that she is going as my bodyguard." Kazura said smugly.
Zuko glared at his daughter, then at his sister.
"Toph, is she saying the truth?" He asked.
"Beats me, I can't tell." Toph shrugged.
"What? Azula I swear to Agni if you've turned Kazura into a liar I'll—" Zuko started to growl.
Azula's shoulders slumped in a soundless sigh.
"Aunt Azula would like to say that you're being a drama queen, and that I was born with this ability unlike someone." Kazura smirked.
"Kazura, that's enough!" Zuko snapped. Azula frowned.
"Aunt Azula would like to say that—"
"Kazura." Zuko's voice was low and ominous.
"—you're being too harsh and I have the—" Kazura's voice rose.
"Kazura!"
"—right to speak whatever I WANT!" She finished it in a crescendo.
"KAZURA!" Zuko breathed steam. Azula cracked up, still not making any sound. In fact, everyone except for Zuko was laughing.
"Oh, Zuko, when will you ever learn that like your sister, your daughter is a free spirit?" Ursa asked with a teasing lilt in her voice.
"I'm a spitfire, daddy, and you'd better watch out." Kazura said proudly. Azula smiled widely. "Aunt Azula would like to say that you can never rule over me, daddy, because I'm too much like her for you to ever even try." She drawled in a perfect impression of her aunt. Azula's shoulders shook with mirth.
"Seriously, where is she getting all of this from?" Sokka asked perplexedly. Toph laughed loudly. Azula stretched, tossing a look around the table, rolled her eyes, and slumped down again, looking bored.
"Aunt Azula would like to say that you're all idiots and aren't worth her time, and if you still aren't going to let her go with me, I won't go either." Kazura paused. "And I really won't."
"FINE, she can go!" Zuko finally said, red-faced. Kazura smirked and reached across the table, giving her aunt a high-five.
"I, Kazura, daughter of Firelord Zuko and Fire Lady Mai, Crown Princess of the Fire Nation, hereby allow Princess Azula, sister of Firelord Zuko to speak again." Kazura said smoothly—way too smoothly for a six year-old.
"Thank you, my Crown Princess." Azula dipped her head.
"You planned this out, didn't you?" Zuko scowled.
"Silly Zuzu. How can I plan this if I don't even know what you're going to say? For all I know you could agree to me going to the tribes." She said innocently.
"But you knew that I wouldn't." Zuko insisted.
Azula just smiled.
Lol
