The princess stared at her, frowning. She couldn't tell, however, if it was an angry sort of frown or a sad one. Ty Lee seemed to always have that trouble when it came to Azula's emotions. They were just so hard to fallow when they left evil.
"But Azula, the war is over. The circus is calling me again." Ty Lee tried to explain. "I can't stay a burden forever."
"My uncle did not have the courage to punish me for my part in the war, meaning I am still the crowned princess of the Fire Nation. Therefore, I still live at the palace, where you are welcome to live as well," Azula stated, folding her arms in a huff while looking in the other direction. "Besides, you were never a burden." She added with a murmur.
"That's awfully nice of you, Azula, but the circus is where I'm meant to be. I need to move on from my life of Avatar-catching." Ty Lee said, biting her bottom lip to prevent herself from saying anything else.
Azula sighed. The acrobat looked at her, a wave a shock passing through her body. Did she look hurt? Princess Azula of the Fire Nation-the one who almost killed the Avatar twice and defeated Ba Sing Se while ruining her brother's life- hurt because her best friend was leaving her?
"I suppose, if this is something you must do, then you should go ahead and do it." The princess lied, now expressionless.
"Oh, well, I'm glad you're actually okay with this." Ty Lee lied nervously.
