019. Hazard
"It is very dangerous to love me. You should know that," Azula says, and Ty Lee is not certain what to make of it. It could be for her protection, or it could be Azula being cruel.
Ty Lee decides that it is probably a mixture of both.
"You were just telling me I had to stay. You were just basically about to imprison me so I don't leave," Ty Lee replies. "It's not like you have your father to worry about."
"Yes. I do."
Azula says no more, and Ty Lee does not understand.
How could she possibly understand?
020. Egocentric
"You'd probably be happier dating a mirror," Zuko says, smiling and laughing, and Azula flashes a glare his way. "What? You could even get one that you could carry around with you."
Azula thinks carefully about how to reply. It could go so very awry, after all.
"Maybe I would be. I am not happy dating her," Azula replies, and Zuko thinks he hears something different in her voice.
It might be regret. Is it regret? There is no way it is regret. No way.
She loves herself far, far, far too much to feel a lick of remorse.
Right?
021. Apple
"Why aren't you eating?" asks Ty Lee's mother.
"Why do moms always ask that? Why do you care if I eat or not? I'm an adult!" Ty Lee snaps, her face flushing from the sudden rage. She quiets almost instantly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so mean."
"I know," her mother says, as if she could possibly understand Ty Lee's agonizing pain.
Ty Lee looks at the apple slices in front of her and wants to hurl them across the room one by one.
She does not, however, because she is an adult and can mostly restrain herself.
AN: Yeah, this won't be done by the end of today. It'll be done within the next few days, though, I promise. I've been bouncing around my family's various houses for the past month and it's been hectic.
