"Hello...Li."

"..."

"Why aren't you answering? That is no way to pay your respects to your princess and mistress."

"My apologies, your highness. Please, forgive me. I am just...astonished."

"Oh, very well...since they said that you are very special."

"Why did they brought me here? Is it because you would like some tea, your highness?"

"Mistress. Correct yourself, Li."

"Would you like some tea, my mistress?"

"..."

"Mistress?"

"So it's true...I am impressed."

"S-sorry?"

"You don't know who I am, do you?"

"You're...the princess who struck the Avatar with lightning..."

"I meant my name, peasant!"

"N-no."

"I am Princess Azula, crown princess of the Fire Nation. Favored of Fire Lord Ozai. Did the names strike you as familiar?"

"No, princess..."

"How about Zuko?"

"My...uncle kept on calling for him."

"Typical uncle. Oh, well. I guess I should find him and lock him up."

"D-did you say anything, princess?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Li. By the way, can you serve me some tea?"

"Jasmine...or ginseng?"

"Jasmine."

"Here it is, your highness."

"Mm...wait..what is this?!"

"It's J-Jasmine tea, my mistress. Ah—!"

"Serve me again! You call this thing tea?! It's just hot, leaf juice!"

"M-my apologies! Argh—no!"

"Oh, look. Now your robes are burnt. But you delight me...I guess, your tea tastes great, after all. Very well, then. I'll take you to the Fire Nation palace. Your skills are fit for the Fire Lord..."

"R-really?"

"Yes. It's an honor to be there, don't you think?"

"But...what about my Uncle Mushi?"

"I guess he'll be coming too."

"T-thank you. I don't know what to say—"

"Save it. And wear your best tunic. I want all my servants at their best."

"Yes, you highness."

"..."

"Princess?"

"I'm fine. I am just waiting to see if you have any other reactions."

"I...am very happy, I guess."

"We will be departing tomorrow. I am sure the Fire Lord will put you in a very special position."

"You think?"

"Uh-huh. But I suggest you go sleep in your peasant's quarters now. We wouldn't want you so tired-looking, wouldn't we...LiLi?"

Author's note: Nope. I won't fix him just yet. However, are you curious what conversation took place beneath Lake Laogai? Review...and I'll post what really happened. Mwahahahahahaha!
