011. Evening
It is a beautiful evening. The moon is large on the horizon and the pink only fading from the sky now. Azula watches from her window and considers going outside into the warm night air. She does not know what she wants to do anymore.
She never knows what she wants to do anymore. It all became too complicated the moment she turned herself in. Why did she turn herself in? She thinks she may regret it.
And she also deeply regrets letting Ty Lee try to save her, or whatever it is she is doing.
She hates loving someone.
012. Elite
"I am the best at all I do," Azula says. Ty Lee nods; she knows better than to ever argue, and she knows that Azula does have a point. "And I am excellent at figuring people out. You are…"
She is not excellent at expressing her feelings. Ty Lee kind of assumed Azula had less feelings than Mai, but maybe Azula just has no soul or conscience or care for others.
Caring for someone else must be really hard for the princess, and Ty Lee keeps that in mind.
"You're amazing," Ty Lee says.
She really means it, she thinks.
013. Metal
"Ouch!" Ty Lee shrieks, rubbing her bleeding finger. That just makes it hurt worse and she feels her heart begin to thud.
"What did you do to yourself?" asks Azula.
"Nothing," Ty Lee whispers.
"Tell me now," Azula demands, and she sounds so regal that it's hard to resist.
"I cut myself by accident on this thing," Ty Lee says, pointing at a metal dragon with her good finger. The scales are quite sharp.
"Well, I will have to destroy it then," Azula says and Ty Lee does not know if she is being mocked or not.
"You will?"
"Yes."
