Princess Azula walked down the narrow corridor, a hard expression on her face. She had dismissed the guards when they offered to escort her to her destination- she was alone. Two doors appeared in front of her when she stopped, both of them locked and both of them guarded by a tall man in uniform.

"May I help you, Princess?" He asked gruffly.

"The contortionist, which cell is she in?"

"The one on the right," He answered.

"Open it." Azula demanded.

"Yes, Princess Azula," The guard bowed and quickly unlocked the metal door, letting Azula walk into the cold, small chamber.

"Well, if it isn't my favourite traitor,"

"A-azula," Ty Lee's voice cracked as she turned around to see the princess standing in the doorway of her cell.

"Well, this place seems nice," Azula looked around the small room, circling Ty Lee as she did so.

"What do you want?" Ty Lee asked, trying her best to sound harsh and confident.

"I just wanted to visit my friend." The princess answered, the sweetness in her voice almost sickening.

"Is that all?"

"I may have had a few questions to ask, too," Azula smiled, though her stare at Ty Lee was cold.

"Go on, then," The contortionist said, gulping.

"Tell me, Ty Lee," Azula began to circle her again, "do you love Mai?"

"She is one of my closest friends, of course I do." She answered.

"But," The other girl stopped walking. "only as a friend, of course."

Ty Lee nodded, waiting for Azula's next question, refusing to look at her.

"Then, tell me, do you love me?"

The contortionist hesitated for a moment, daring herself to glance at the princess. "You are the crowned princess of the nation, a-and soon to be Fire Lady,"

"But do you love me?" Azula asked, stepping closer to Ty Lee.

"And you-you were one of my closest friends,"

"But do you love me?" Azula questioned again, standing barely an inch away from her old friend.

"Yes," Ty Lee whispered, closing her eyes. She kept them closed, hoping Azula would leave by the time she opened them.

A pair of hands made their way to Ty Lee's waist, and she snapped her eyes open, only to find that the hands on her waist belonged to Princess Azula.

Ty Lee was confused, but brought her hand up to the princess's face nonetheless, and cupped her cheek. Azula's mouth twitched into a small smirk, and she brought her own hand up to cover Ty Lee's.

"My favourite traitor,"

Eh, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. They both seem out of character, yet not. I don't know, I'll let you the reader decide. It, obviously, takes place after Boiling Rock.
