For You – Chapter Twenty-Six

The following morning…

Azula began to stir when the sound of snickering floated into her ears.

She knew the sound of that laugh.

Ty Lee!

The princess's amber golden eyes snapped open while she sat up against her pillow.

Her callous gaze swept about before settling on the grinning Ty Lee seated in a chair on the other side of her room.

"Aww! You two look so cute together Azula." Ty Lee greeted with a warm chuckle while Azula practically glared a hole through her skull.

The princess began to recline upon her pillow while her handmaid slumbered with her face buried in the chest of her opened night gown.

The sound of Elle snoring softly in the princess's bosom echoed into the air while Ty Lee smiled over at the sight of her sleeping face.

The princess's face turned red in humiliation while she turned to regard her giggling friend with an icy death glare.

"Cease your laughing right this minute or I will burn you to ashes!" Azula bellowed with a tight scowl upon her features while Elle continued to breath softly into her breasts.

"Don't be so loud Azula. You are going to wake her up." Ty Lee sighed while the princess narrowed her amber golden eyes back at her.

"Don't you give me orders Ty Lee! I am the princess around here not you! And you are the one that woke me up!" Azula snarled before sliding one of her arms over her little girlfriend's small back while Ty Lee leaned over the side of her chair still smiling.

"Azula…you always get up at this time in the morning anyhow. And I wanted to check on Elle. I…was really worried about her when I ran into her in the hallway last night." Ty Lee commented with her smile giving way to a concerned frown while she peered over at the sleeping girl.

Despite how hard the princess tried.

Azula couldn't help but glance down at the girl with her lips dropping into a thin line.

"The girl is fine Ty Lee." Azula snorted with a haughty roll of her eyes while Ty Lee stared back at her in an unconvinced manner.

"She didn't look fine last night." Ty Lee stated with her arms folding over her breasts while the regal woman pretended as if she didn't care.

If she wasn't so worried for her adopted little sister's well being, she could have laughed at how Azula's behavior contradicted her words.

Leave it to Azula to sit there with a young girl asleep in her lap while she acts as if she doesn't care about said girl.

"She was just crying about some peasant trifle. As she always does." Azula remarked in a pompous voice while she fiddled with her dark hair in an effort to play off her concerns.

"That wasn't a 'peasant trifle'! And I thought I told you to stop calling her that." Ty Lee insisted with a huff while Azula continued her stuck-up behavior.

"I call her a peasant because she is a peasant. My pet peasant to be exact." Azula declared in a smug fashion with a possessive palm planted in Elle's hair while the petite girl mumbled into her bust.

"She's not a…why do I even bother arguing with you. You are impossible." Ty Lee complained while the other woman smirked over at her.

"Of course, I am. It is good that you are finally beginning to understand that I am beyond defeat." Azula scoffed with a spoiled wave of her hand while Ty Lee just sighed under her breath.

"Right Azula. Anyhow. Back to Elle?" Ty Lee reminded with a gesture of her hand while the princess's hand still rested in the girl's hair.

"I told you that she is fine!" Azula snapped with annoyance in her callous eyes while Ty Lee began to tap her shoe on the floor.

"You're lying and you know it Azula. When I found her last night, she was wandering the halls in a panic while she cried her eyes out looking for you." Ty Lee explained while Azula turned to peer down at Elle with seemingly uncaring amber golden eyes.

"I am well aware Ty Lee. I know all about how you planted her at my door and ran away to save your own skin." Azula spoke with an accusatory narrow of her eyes while the other woman nervously sunk back into her seat.

Ty Lee knew well enough that anyone other than Elle would have received a gruesome injury at the very least.

Even herself. And she has been friends with Azula since they were little!

"Y-yeah well that's because I was afraid that you were going to launch a bolt of lightning at me through the door." Ty Lee admitted lamely while the princess still glared in her direction.

"I was close to doing just that. But then I heard this little tiger monkey whining at my door. I decided to spare her from injury. She is my best cherry picker after all." Azula confessed with a haughty aura about her before patting her sleeping handmaid's golden head.

"Sure Azula. Your best cherry picker." Ty Lee replied with a slight roll of her eyes yet she still managed to gaze fondly in Elle's direction.

"Speaking of that. You are being punished Ty Lee." Azula announced abruptly to the other woman's fright while she silently took delight in the other woman's nervousness.

"What? That's not fair Azula. I…mean I would have gladly taken her to my chambers but she wanted you to comfort her." Ty Lee defended while the princess continued to glare at her.

"You woke me up. Not once. But twice." Azula growled in a terrifyingly grouchy voice while Ty Lee shrunk under her stare.

If she didn't know any better Ty Lee was beginning to regret her little morning visit.

"Yeah well it was mean how you were working Elle to death under the promise of a snuggle never to come." Ty Lee retorted with a disapproving frown while Azula rolled her elegant eyes in response.

"Oh please. I don't overwork Elle in the least." Azula snorted snidely with her fingers dancing through her murmuring handmaid's hair while Ty Lee stared at her in a deadpan fashion.

"She told me that she was massaging your feet three hours per day." Ty Lee stated flatly while her spoiled friend reclined with her palm still on the sleeping girl's head.

"Four hours. Two hours for my feet and two hours for my back." Azula commented with a pompous smirk while the other woman's eyes nearly fell out of her head.

"And she was telling me that if she worked hard enough her beloved princess would notice her efforts and reward her with a cuddle!" Ty Lee exclaimed with a huff while Azula still smiled smugly.

"And I did." Azula purred with her stern amber golden eyes glancing down at the tiny girl curled up into her bare breasts.

"After all of that the poor girl only got a snuggle because she came sobbing to your door." Ty Lee said with a scolding shake of her head.

"Ugh. What will it take for you to quit fussing over my handmaid?" Azula questioned in a supremely arrogant manner while her palm remained clamped down on her handmaid's little head.

"I want to know what got her so shaken up." Ty Lee answered in a sisterly voice while Azula sighed as if it were a bother.

"She had a nightmare." Azula revealed in a dismissive manner while the other woman furrowed her brows in worry.

"A nightmare? About what?" Ty Lee asked only to notice a rare expression of consideration for the girl's well being in her selfish friend's eyes.

The only eye time Azula seemed concerned with sharing information about Elle was when she told her about the girl's monstrous brother.

"Her mother's death." Azula stated with a stern narrow of her eyes while she turned to gaze at the guilty faced Ty Lee.

"O-oh. Is…she alright?" Ty Lee queried in a softer voice with her brown-gray eyes already misting up.

"The girl knows that I am more than capable of taking care of her. She stopped her bawling just minutes after I took her into my arms." Azula spoke with pride overflowing from her arrogant voice while the other woman observed in a heartfelt manner.

"Well, that's good to know Azula." Ty Lee responded warmly with a small smile creeping back onto her lips.

To hear Azula declare that she was going to take care of someone was just astounding.

Although she couldn't help but feel worried for the sweet girl after hearing about the source of her sorrows.

But she knew better than to pressure Elle about the matter.

"Naturally. She understands that her princess is the strongest there is." Azula commented in a conceited voice before scanning her clenched fist with a proud countenance.

"Yep. When it comes to strength, I really don't think Elle can find anyone stronger." Ty Lee agreed with a nod while her words produced an arrogant smile on Azula's lips.

"Indeed. Now I trust that you are done interrogating me over my girlfriend's tears?" Azula snorted with her possessive eyes peering down at the snoring girl.

"That is so cute Azula. You just called Elle your girlfriend!" Ty Lee cooed while the regal woman glared at her through the corner of her eye.

"That's because she is! She belongs to me. I own her. She's my pet." Azula declared with a sanguine smile while Ty Lee nearly fell over in her seat.

"Uh…Azula you do realize that pet and girlfriend are not mutually inclusive right?" Ty Lee advised before sighing under her breath while she gestured to the young girl's sleeping face.

"I say otherwise. She is my little girlfriend and my pet." Azula insisted in a greedy voice while she placed both of her palms on the slumbering girl's soft head.

"…Whatever you say Azula. At least she's happy." Ty Lee replied before finally smiling once more while she observed the girl mumble adorably in her sleep.

"It pleases me that we are in agreeance. Now. Back to your punishment." Azula spoke in a sadistic voice while she smirked over at Ty Lee's gulping face.

"B-but I thought you were letting it slide." Ty Lee complained only for Azula to narrow her merciless eyes into a truly imposing glare.

"You woke me up twice. Such a crime…is unforgivable." Azula informed gravely before reclining upon her bottom while she stared at Ty Lee's now frightened face.

"What…what is my punishment Azula?" Ty Lee requested with sweat dripping down her brow while the other woman smiled in a manner that sent shivers down her spine.

"This morning I would like cherries with my breakfast. You will have the privilege of removing the cherry pits." Azula announced in a devilishly smug voice while Ty Lee gazed on with her eyes widening in pure horror.

"P-please have mercy on me Azula." Ty Lee stammered before she rapidly bowed her head while Azula still smiled in her direction.

"Oh, very well Ty Lee. I suppose I could go easy on you." Azula sighed in a purposefully drawn-out manner with her controlling eyes glancing ahead.

"Thank you Azula!" Ty Lee exclaimed only for her blood to run cold mere seconds later.

"You may take Elle with you to assist you on the matter." Azula remarked with her gaze lowering to Ty Lee's now sweating face.

"Or not." Ty Lee sighed before sinking her backside into the chair while she mused at least she would be able to spend the time with Elle.

"The rules are as follows. You will have your own bowl to pick. Elle can only advise you. If I find out that she did the work for you…then I will impose an embargo on her cuddles." Azula explained in a cruel voice while Ty Lee stared at her in a comically horrified manner.

"S-she's so cute Azula. How could you take away her snuggles? That's just too cruel. Even for you!" Ty Lee protested only for her spoiled friend to roll her eyes.

"And if I should find a single cherry pit in your work. You will be repeating the lesson tomorrow morning." Azula stated with a callous smile while Ty Lee stared ahead with her eyes agape in terror.

"S-so if I miss just one cherry pit. Then I do it all over again tomorrow…and so…and so on?" Ty Lee asked before sinking into her seat while she swallowed down her apprehension.

"It could last weeks. So, make it pink Ty Lee." Azula concluded with her arm wrapping around her little girlfriend while Ty Lee whimpered in her seat.

"Got it Azula. Meanie." Ty Lee grumbled with a pouting countenance while the princess released a loud scoff.

"Please. Quit your whining. You got off easy. Anyone else would have been banished from the Fire Nation." Azula commented in a ruthless voice while Ty Lee cringed in her seat.

"Banished Azula?" Ty Lee asked with a sigh before musing that it was best to leave it be.

Knowing Azula she was most likely dead serious.

The two women were torn from their discussion when they heard the small blonde beginning to stir at long last.

The little handmaid yawned with her face still pressed in between the princess's bust while Ty Lee released a soft giggle at her now glaring friends' expense.

"It's about time that you woke up girl." Azula spoke with her callous eyes peering down at the young girl slowly peaking up from where she lay upon her bare chest.

"Ohayō gozaimasu…Azula-sama" Elle yawned in a lovable voice while she smiled up at her scowling protector.

"Ohayō Gozaimasu to you too Tiger Monkey." Azula sighed with her frigid eyes gazing upward in an effort to hide the fondness that she felt for her little companion.

"Ohayō Gozaimasu Elle!" Ty Lee called out with a wave before giggling once more when she observed Elle slowly turn her head to smile at her over her shoulder.

It was just adorable how the girl seemed unwilling to vacate her friend's chest.

"Ohayō Gozaimasu oneesan!" Elle chirped with a bright smile while she listened to her mistress release a dominant grunt above her.

"It's time to get up girl." Azula ordered with her stern eyes glaring down at her pet's deflating face.

"B-but I wanted to have a morning hug." Elle protested while the older girl rolled her lovely eyes above her.

"You are such a clingy little thing." Azula stated with a drawn-out sigh before greedily drawing her servant into her toned arms while Elle blushed with her little face buried within her breasts.

"S-sumimasen…" Elle mumbled just before Azula pulled the back of her head into her plush bosom.

All the while she smiled shyly when she noticed her big sister observing them with amused brown-gray eyes.

"She's a pretty little dear isn't she Ty Lee?" Azula boasted with a smug smirk while she held the still yawning girl into her upper belly.

"She certainly is Azula…" Ty Lee trailed off with a grin while the younger girl blushed even deeper under their combined attentions.

"I have good news for you Elle. Ty Lee has decided that she would like for you to teach her how to pick cherry pits this morning." Azula declared in a tyrannical voice with Elle turning to peer at Ty Lee while the noblewoman smiled brightly back at her.

Only because she didn't want her little sister to think that she didn't desire her company.

"Really! I always do it alone. It should be fun having a partner!" Elle exclaimed while Ty Lee smiled nervously despite the princess's sadistic smirk.

"Well today I'll be joining you little sister." Ty Lee stated with her finger scratching her cheek while Azula glanced between the two of them.

"Tell her the usual procedure." Azula commanded in a voice of absolute smugness while Ty Lee stared at her humorously.

It was just like Azula to get so technical over something…so trivial!

"Well the most important thing to remember is to proceed slowly! It's all about taking your time. No matter what you do don't rush it! The last thing you want is for Azula-sama to find a cherry pit!" Elle cried out while Azula sat above her with a pleased smirk gracing her features.

"Yes Ty Lee. Remember to take your time. But at the same time be certain to deliver the cherries before I get too hungry." Azula instructed with a raised finger while Ty Lee nodded before sighing in agreement.

"Uh right. I'll be sure to do that Azula." Ty Lee agreed with a twinge of fear in her voice while the princess continued to smile victoriously.

It was at times like this that she wondered how poor Elle put up with all of Azula's endless demands.

"I find it to be a relaxing activity because I know that it's all about pleasing Her Highness. It's going to be fun oneesan!" Elle advised with a joyful nod while her big sister smiled back at her despite her reservations.

"I'm looking forward to it little sister! I am sure that we'll have a good time pleasing Azula together." Ty Lee spoke with as big of a grin as she could muster while controlling amber golden eyes took delight in her unease.

"In fact, why don't you two get started right now?" Azula suggested in a strict voice while she watched her acrobatic friend squirm in her seat.

"Do we really have to do this right now Azula?" Ty Lee almost pleaded only to visibly wince when blue lamps flared to life all throughout the princess's chamber.

"You woke me! Now I am going to put you to work! No one wakes me up twice and walks away unscathed!" Azula bellowed in a thunderous voice with her eyes narrowing into a truly imposing glare while she watched in satisfaction to see Ty Lee leaping to her feet.

"Calm down Azula. I'll get right on it." Ty Lee assured all the while wishing she had never woken up her spoiled friend.

"Azula-sama's anger is nothing to scoff at." Elle quipped with a sunny smile while she peered up at Azula's icy countenance.

"Humph. Indeed, it isn't. Now get to work Elle." Azula commanded with her strict gaze shifting down to her little girlfriend still laying against her bosom.

"But I want to keep snuggling with you Azula-sama. N-no! I just w-wanted to snuggle a little bit longer." Elle whined out with a pout when she found herself being raised into the air by the back of her shirt.

"Azula! Elle isn't a kitten that you can grasp by the scruff of her neck." Ty Lee scolded with a disapproving shake of her head.

"She is whatever I say she is! Now go bring me my breakfast or it will be months before your next snuggle!" Azula boomed in a tone of absolute dominance before dropping her now horrified pet at the foot of her bed.

"M-months without snuggling my princess?" Elle stuttered in a crestfallen manner while Azula scanned her fingernails with a controlling smile on her regal lips.

"Months." Azula purred before smirking as widely as can be when her little handmaid leaped to her feet in a panic.

"Azula…" Ty Lee complained with a sigh while she made her way over to Elle's side.

But even so Ty Lee couldn't help but grin when the younger girl ran up to grasp ahold of her hand.

"Come on oneesan! Let's go bring a smile to the princess's face!" Elle urged with her words earning her a gratified glance from her smug caretaker.

"You're such a little sweetheart Elle!" Ty Lee cooed before turning to rush out of the room with her little sister's hand in hers.

"Elle." Azula called out before observing Elle skid to a stop while the girl reeled around to meet her stern gaze.

"Yes Azula-sama?" Elle answered in a cheery voice while Azula eyed her in a deadpan manner.

"Change out of your pajamas." Azula remarked flatly while she observed the younger girl's shoulders slump.

All the while Ty Lee laughed in a good-natured manner.

"Oh…I forgot about that." Elle admitted with a faint blush while she listened to her princess sigh under her breath.

A short time later…

Ty Lee found herself standing beside the handmaid in the airship's kitchens.

While she glanced down at the bowl of cherries with a small fine tipped utensil in hand.

All the while she gazed down with dread growing in her usually jovial gaze.

How in Agni's name can these poor handmaids put up with this!

Ty Lee turned to the younger girl humming happily beside her before speaking her mind.

"How do you put up with this Elle?" Ty Lee asked with a huff after accidentally crushing another cherry in her failed attempt to remove the pit.

Right now, she was almost as angry with Azula after she set her circus net on fire!

Almost.

"Huh? What do you mean oneesan?" Elle answered with an unwavering smile that had Ty Lee unable to resist smiling in turn.

"This! All of Azula's endless demands. How do you have the patience to deal with it?" Ty Lee explained before wiping her hands free of the cherry juice while she watched the smaller girl work.

Somehow Elle was able to expertly remove the pit from each one!

When she tries to do the same thing, she smashes the cherry every time!

"Oh! It's not that bad. It really isn't! From the moment we first met I knew that she would be telling me what to do left and right! But I don't mind. Really! That's just the way the princess is." Elle chirped while the taller Ty Lee peered down at her with a softened countenance.

"Yes…Azula certainly enjoys telling people what to do." Ty Lee sighed with her hands on her hips while she watched her little sister set more cherries aside.

"But it doesn't bother me. Because Azula-sama and I have a bond. And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for her. If it makes her happy giving me orders…then I will do all that I can to fulfil those orders." Elle spoke in a devoted voice with her lips forming a kind smile while she felt Ty Lee set her hand on her shoulder.

"You are so lovable Elle." Ty Lee announced with a cheerful grin while the petite girl averted her eyes with just the most adorable blush.

"A-arigatou oneesan…" Elle stammered while she listened to her big sister giggle above her.

"You are just too cute. I want to smother you in a hug but the last thing I want is to get cherry juice in your hair." Ty Lee commented in a gushing voice while Elle turned pink under her gaze.

"I-I am glad that you think so Ty Lee." Elle admitted shyly all the while enjoying how Ty Lee tended to her.

And with that Ty Lee turned back to the cherry bowl before sighing in a fed-up manner.

"I do think so! Uh! This is not pink! Not pink at all!" Ty Lee growled before she reached into the bowl with a frustrated aura about her.

"I'll help you oneesan!" Elle offered before moving to stand before her big sister while the older girl's angered expression gave way to a gentle grin.

"Aww! Aren't you just the best little sister there is!" Ty Lee cooed while she hovered above Elle's golden head with an appreciate smile about her.

All the while making a mental note not to tell Azula that Elle lent her a helping hand.

"T-thank you. You see there's a special technique to it." Elle began with a timid smile while Ty Lee leaned over her shoulder curiously.

"A special technique?" Ty Lee repeated fondly before blinking when the petite girl gestured to the small utensil in her hand.

"Mhm! You have to go in from this angle…like that and all done!" Elle exclaimed just after sliding the tiny metal tool through a cherry.

"When I try that it cuts the cherry in half!" Ty Lee complained with a frown while Elle pointed to the very particular spot on the cherry.

She couldn't help but ponder how it was ridiculous that the handmaids had to go through all of this just so that Azula didn't bit down on a cherry pit!

"You have to go in…right here." Elle stated just while she chewed on her lip with Ty Lee peering down in marvelment.

"Hm. I will give it another go then. Thanks for the advice little sis!" Ty Lee responded before giving her young companion an affection pat to the back.

"It's no problem! I would do anything for you oneesan!" Elle cried out in a jubilant voice while Ty Lee gazed down at her with fond brown-gray eyes.

"I know Elle. You are so loyal to us. And I appreciate it. We all do." Ty Lee assured in a protective voice with her hand on Elle's shoulder.

It was true.

The girl would go to any lengths to please any of the three of them.

And Elle had no obligation to owe two noblewomen and their princess such undying loyalty.

And yet the girl was all too happy to serve as Azula's handmaid all the same.

"T-this is my family. Of course, I'd be loyal." Elle insisted in a tone of devotion while she averted her eyes from Ty Lee's grinning countenance.

"Yeah. We are." Ty Lee agreed in a sisterly tone before she gave the girl another pat to the shoulder.

This girl was just too sweet.

Not too long afterward the two girls had just washed their hands and finished with their labor.

On the left sat Elle's bowl.

A large bowl of cherries perfectly picked to the spoiled princess's liking.

And on the right…

Sat Ty Lee's small bowl of maybe fifteen properly picked cherries.

Ty Lee could only sigh in exasperation all the while hoping that it would please Azula.

'Who am I kidding? The only person that pleases Azula is Elle.' Ty Lee thought before turning to peer down at Elle with her hands on her hips.

"It looks like we're all done!" Elle announced in a chipper manner while Ty Lee smiled down at her.

"Yeah. It sure does…. can I ask you something Elle?" Ty Lee began while the younger girl happily met her gaze.

"Ask me anything and this loyal girl will answer." Elle hummed while Ty Lee's concerned eyes softened once more.

"Are you alright…after…" Ty Lee trailed off with her lips curling into a worried frown upon noticing a gleam of sadness that briefly flickered in Elle's eyes.

"I will be fine oneesan…" Elle answered softly only to widen her eyes when Ty Lee pulled her into a loving bear hug.

And then her face was smashed into Ty Lee's chest while the noblewoman's strong arms held her in a compassionate embrace.

"You can talk to me you know…you can come to me whenever you need me." Ty Lee spoke gently with warmth lacing her voice while she gazed down at the golden-haired girl leaning into her hold.

"I know." Elle murmured with Ty Lee's arms holding her close.

"Good. I just…wanted to make sure." Ty Lee sighed before patting the girl upon the head while Elle gladly returned the hug.

"You're the best Ty Lee." Elle declared in a loving voice while Ty Lee found herself unable to resist grinning after hearing those words.

"It is nice of you to say so Elle. Thanks." Ty Lee replied while she stood happily hugging the younger girl.

Elle smiled while Ty Lee continued to pat her head.

All the while musing how much she loved being here.

About a half hour later…

Ty Lee walked with the young handmaid before coming to a stop before the training room.

Then she gave the door a push before taking a step in.

"Azula breakfast is ready…" Ty Lee trailed off only to find her eyes widening in another show of surprise at the princess's ability.

She was watching Azula charge with a flaming sword in hand just back in the arena.

Only this time…

A steel sword was burning with blue fire!

'Incredible! Azula discovered a way to conduct her firebending through a blunt object!' Ty Lee thought with her eyes agape in awe.

All the while the young girl watched in mutual fascination.

And then a thunderous explosion echoed into the air.

The princess slid through her wooden target before combusting into azure flames with its burning remnants raining down overhead.

Azula skidded to a stop with her right arm extended before her while she glanced down at her blade with icy amber golden eyes.

"W-wow Azula! That is truly impressive." Ty Lee exclaimed in genuine astonishment with a bead of sweat dripping down her brow.

It was all the more reason to be make certain that they refrained from angering Azula.

The princess was making efforts to be a little nicer but she was more dangerous than ever before.

"Of course, it is. When am I anything but impressive?" Azula boasted in a tone of absolute smugness while the two girls marveled at her back.

"That's the Koto Moeru! It means soaring blaze! The princess allowed me to name it!" Elle informed with her chest puffing out in a display of innocent pride while Ty Lee turned to peer down at her.

"You came up with the name Elle?" Ty Lee asked in a fond voice before staring at the princess's back once more.

Azula let Elle name her battle technique.

If that wasn't proof of the princess's affections then what was?

"That's so." Elle answered with a cheerful nod just when the sound of metal cracking filtered into the air.

The two turned to observe the princess's burst into two pieces with the forefront of the blade falling to the ground before her boots.

A resounding clang echoed throughout the air while Azula scowled down at her broken blade in an irate manner.

"Weak swords! That's the fifth one that's broken on me. I despise brittle blades." Azula snapped after straightening before discarding the broken sword over her shoulder.

"Maybe you're being too hard on the swords Azula." Ty Lee offered in a helpful voice while she watched Azula approach them.

"Azula-sama is so strong that even her swords submit to her conquest." Elle cheered with Ty Lee stared on in amusement beside her while Azula smirked down at her.

"Humph! Of course, I am! Nothing is safe from my conquest!" Azula scoffed in a haughty fashion before brushing her bangs from her amber golden eyes.

Ty Lee just sighed before she took to walking beside her childhood friend just when the sound of adorable clapping flowed into the air.

"You go Azula-sama! You dominate those swords!" Elle cried out with a fist in the air while the princess stared down at her in approval.

Azula observed her little admirer with a pleased smile on her lips just when the sound of a growling belly echoed into their ears.

The two other girls turned to gaze down at the unabashed princess's complaining stomach.

"Hm. And now I shall go dominate breakfast." Azula remarked in a serious voice while Ty Lee gazed at her in amusement.

"Her Highness won't show those cherries any mercy." Elle quipped while she scurried alongside her princess while Azula smiled down at her.

"No, I will not. And none for Ty Lee if I should so much as find one cherry pit." Azula stated in a callous voice while she eyed her gulping friend through the corner of her eye.

And Ty Lee couldn't help but suddenly find herself doubting her cherry-picking skills.

Only minutes later…

The three entered into the dining hall to find Mai calmly eating her breakfast.

Mai's apathetic tawny eyes glanced up from her meal while they seated themselves.

"Ohayō Gozaimasu oneesan!" Elle greeted with a wave of her hand while Mai offered her a small smile in return.

"Good morning, Shorty." Mai answered with fondness in her gaze while Elle pulled out a seat beside Azula.

Ty Lee seated herself opposite of Elle while she turned to nervously observe Azula staring down at her food with deadpan amber golden eyes.

The princess's judging gaze was shifting between the two bowls of cherries.

One large.

And one small.

"I-I did the best I could Azula." Ty Lee commented while the princess glanced down at the small bowl of cherries.

"Your cherry-picking skills leave much to be desired Ty Lee." Azula declared with her lips pursed into a scowl before raising her eyes to gaze back at the flinching Ty Lee.

"You were picking cherries for Azula?" Mai asked in a mildly taunting voice while Ty Lee sunk into her seat.

"Ty Lee woke me up twice and now she is being punished." Azula growled with her amber golden eyes glaring back at Ty Lee's intimidated countenance.

"Why would you wake Azula up early? Every hour that Azula remains asleep is one less hour that we have to deal with her." Mai commented with a slight smirk while Azula turned to stare at her with narrowed gaze.

"Ty Lee invoked the flames of wrath this morning." Elle chirped while she poured a cup of juice for her caretaker while Azula stared down at her with a vastly smug countenance.

"I know! But you should have seen it May! Azula and Elle were cuddling together! They were so cute!" Ty Lee called out with cheer while Azula spun around with her eyes ablaze as if she had just betrayed their nation.

Mai turned to face the blushing teenage girl and the scowling princess with amusement in her tawny eyes.

"Call me cute again Ty Lee and you will be picking cherries until your last day." Azula hissed with her statement managing to successfully silence Ty Lee's giggling.

"So, tell me Shorty. On a scale of one to ten. How good is Azula at snuggling? Is she just so-so? Kind of stiff? Or did she rock your world?" Mai inquired in a taunting voice while she watched Elle's reddened face closely.

"Mai." Azula spoke in a monstrous voice with her eyes narrowing into slits while she reached into the bowl of cherries.

It was obvious to Azula and Ty Lee what Mai was implying.

Ty Lee coughed nervously while she scratched her cheek before turning to peer over at the handmaid to see the young girl holding a thoughtful hand to her chin.

"Her Highness is an eleven! It was the best snuggle that I've ever had. She held me close all throughout the night. It was totally worth the wait!" Elle announced with a sunny smile while the princess stiffened with an embarrassed countenance.

The three women were not surprised that the sexual reference flew over the handmaid's little head.

"You're an eleven Azula! You must be the best snuggler there is!" Ty Lee gushed while the gloomy noblewoman snickered in the background.

"Of course, I would be. Trivial as it is. I am the best at everything…Ty Lee!" Azula shouted after biting into a cherry only for her amber golden eyes to widen in rage to find a cherry pit rolling about on her tongue.

A unanimous tension swept across the table while Azula sat glaring at the now recoiling Ty Lee with a cherry pit now between her fingertips.

Mai couldn't resist glancing at Ty Lee in amusement while poor the Ty Lee looked as if she was considering running away.

"Uh oh. I thought you got them all oneesan?" Elle piped up with a cup of juice in hand while she peered up at her furious mistress.

"What am I holding Ty Lee?" Azula demanded in a merciless voice with a small puff of fire spewing from her mouth while her childhood friend gulped nervously.

"U-uh a cherry pit Azula." Ty Lee answered with a fearful stammer to her voice while Azula continued to hold the pit for all to see.

"Correct. And what did I tell you earlier?" Azula inquired icily with her lips pursing into a scowl.

All the while the noblewomen watched the young handmaid begin comically checking the cherries for any further cherry pits.

With urgency as if it was a threat to the princess's life.

"I'm sorry Azula! I-I didn't realize that I missed one." Ty Lee explained hurriedly while her friend continued to glare at her.

"Believe me I can see that. Do you understand what could have happened if I hadn't sensed the pit in time?" Azula spoke before setting the cherry pit on her plate while Ty Lee squirmed in her seat.

"Choked?" Ty Lee offered with a guilty countenance while Azula still glared ahead.

"Indeed. I could have choked. Now do you understand the gravity of cherry pits Ty Lee?" Azula growled while Ty Lee rapidly nodded her head.

"Totally! It won't happen again Azula!" Ty Lee assured while her friend rolled her elegant eyes in response.

"Seriously Azula. The chance of you choking on a cherry pit is almost zero." Mai stated in her usual deadpan while Azula briefly regarded her with a cold stare.

"The Fire Lord to be must be vigilant against all possible assassins. This is why it is so crucial that I keep the tiger monkey on staff." Azula scoffed with a wave of her hand while she gestured to Elle diligently inspecting the cherries.

The two noblewomen stared in humor while they watched Elle sift through the fruits with an adorably grave demeanor.

It was clear that the girl took any job that Azula assigned her with the upmost seriousness.

"I think that's all of them Azula-sama!" Elle cried out with a nod while Azula glanced down at her in approval.

"Good. As for you Ty Lee. You are hereby fired from my maid staff." Azula sighed as if it was a great hardship while Ty Lee sat up in relief.

"That's a bummer! I guess I'm out of my job then." Ty Lee replied with a returning grin while Mai stifled an amused chuckle.

"You are the only handmaid that I can count on Elle. Try to refrain from disappointing me." Azula remarked with a huff while she peered down at her little admirer's beaming face.

"Don't you worry Princess. I won't let you down! Your most loyal servant is ready and reporting for duty!" Elle cheered before adorably saluting her now smiling princess.

"Good girl." Azula purred before reaching down to pat the smaller girl atop her golden head while her handmaid smiled sweetly up at her.

The two noblewomen were wise enough refrain from commenting on the princess's most recent display of affection.

"I am so happy that you think so Azula-sama." Elle answered in her usual lovable voice while Azula stared down at her with her lips curving into a graceful smirk.

"I have something to give you Elle." Azula declared while she turned to stare down at Elle's now emotional face.

"S-something to give me?" Elle stuttered in a moved voice while Ty Lee smiled warmly at the scene.

"I had this commissioned for you." Azula commented before reaching for a small box that sat on the corner of the tabletop.

The teenage girl peered up at the princess with emotive amber eyes that widened upon seeing what sat in the palm of the princess's hand.

It was…an inhaler!

Mai and Ty Lee watched in mutual astonishment when Azula deposited a custom-made breather in the girl's waiting hand.

"It's a similar compound to what you were using before. If it doesn't work just let me know. We'll try another formula." Azula explained with a hardened countenance while she gazed down at her little girlfriend's speechless face.

"Y-you did this…for me Azula-sama?" Elle asked in a heartfelt voice with a hand over her chest while Azula rolled her regal eyes down at her.

"I told you that I would take care of you and I meant it. Besides…it would be too much of a bother if you were to suffocate. You give such a lovely foot massage…it would be a shame to lose you." Azula scoffed with a haughty flip of her hair while her cold eyes never left her little handmaid's now sniffling face.

"How romantic." Mai snorted yet even she knew that there was no denying that Azula's affection for Elle was real.

"Yeah Azula. Why do you have to keep being nice and mean to her at the same time?" Ty Lee chided with a sigh yet even so she still managed a smile over their young companion's heartwarming joy.

Azula's amber golden eyes observed the tiny girl wiping at her little eyes before her favorite handmaid took her by surprise when the girl stood up from her seat.

The princess glanced up from her seat while she turned to stare at her favorite handmaid approaching the front of her throne

The girl came to a stop before her while they gazed into one another's eyes for the briefest of moments.

"A-arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama! Arigatou!" Elle exclaimed before bowing courteously at the waist while another tear streamed down her cheek.

The princess's callous eyes focused on the lone tear drop sliding down the girl's fair skinned cheek.

All the while her lips began to purse into a tight scowl.

"Cease that crying at once! If you shed so much as one more tear, I will punish you severely!" Azula snarled before reaching out to cup Elle's teary-eyed face while the two noblewomen were heard sighing behind her.

"S-sumimasen Mistress!" Elle cried out with a grateful smile just before her chin was lifted upward by her mistress's finger while Azula stared down at her with unbelievably strict amber golden eyes.

"You are such a sensitive little thing. But I like you more than you know." Azula spoke before bending over to loom over her bowing handmaid while she gently held the blushing girl's dainty face between both palms.

While the other two women continued to gaze at the odd pair in a shared sense of amazement.

To see Azula being this kind was just nothing short of extraordinary!

"P-Princess…" Elle whispered in a deeply moved voice while the princess leaned in to peer down at her.

"You…'contacted' the mechanist…didn't you Azula?" Ty Lee asked in a soft voice while she smiled warmly over in their direction.

The fact that Azula was willing to go to such great lengths to care for Elle was proof that the princess was learning compassion.

And it was all thanks to this sweet girl from another far away world.

"I did. I want you to know something Elle. But I am only going to say it once…so you had better listen well." Azula growled with her breath sweeping over Elle's face while her favorite handmaid nodded in a spellbound manner.

"I…will always give you my undivided attention Princess." Elle assured with another sniffle while Azula effortlessly drew her smaller body forward.

"This mechanist has built the Fire Nation countless technological tools of war. I personally ordered him to be transferred directly under my custody. He told me that no torture or torment would convince him to ever build for the Fire Nation again." Azula began with a callous countenance while the golden-haired girl listened in a stricken silence.

Mai and Ty Lee shared a brief knowing look before shivering in pity for the unfortunately imprisoned man.

"I struck him in the jaw and then I told him that I would torture him for one year if he refused to heed my will. His answer…was still no. So, I gave him a final ultimatum." Azula informed with her hands grasping Elle's stunned face while her two subordinates gazed at her in disbelief.

Not over the fact that the princess would threaten to torture the inventor.

But to see her telling this innocent girl about how she acquired her medicine!

"Azula! That girl doesn't need to hear about that!" Mai shouted with a sliver of anger in her eyes while Ty Lee sat in a similarly baffled silence.

"I told him that I would raze his temple to the ground and all of his fellow refugees along with it. And then I let him know that his cripple son would be joining him in the cells below. And with that he agreed to do anything that I ordered but that…is beside the point." Azula remarked while the younger girl stared up at her with widened amber eyes.

Mai sunk back in her seat with a shocked countenance while she continued to stare at her leader in disapproval.

All the while Ty Lee already found herself amending her previous statement.

Azula was learning compassion alright.

But for Elle and Elle alone!

"My point is…that I threatened to kill nearly fifty people for you. No one died to make your medicine. But I want you to know that if it came between you and them…that I would kill them for you." Azula announced in a silken voice before leaning with an arm wrapped around Elle's petite back.

Elle fell into Azula with her chin coming to rest on the older girl's shoulder.

All the while she peered over the princess's shoulder with her amber eyes agape in a profound sense of emotion.

"Azula-sama…" Elle whined while the princess held onto her with a possessive growl escaping her crimson lips.

The two noblewomen sat in a disturbed silence before exchanging yet another concerned glance.

The most frightening thing of all was the fact that they had no doubt that this was Azula's way of trying to express her feelings for Elle!

It was the princess's idea of romance!

"Be it fifty…a hundred or even thousands. I would do it for you." Azula snarled with her little girlfriend's head upon her shoulder while her hand clutched at the back of the girl's golden head.

"I…understand Azula-sama. T-thank you…" Elle mumbled with a bashful smile while she continued to take comfort in the sound of Azula snarling in her ears.

"But that doesn't mean that I'm going soft on you!" Azula barked with her lips pursed into a thin line while she held Elle into her robed shoulder.

Even though she knew that she should be appalled by what her princess just told her.

Elle couldn't help but smile softly over Azula's callous statement.

It was just her princess's way of showing that she cared.

'She really cares about me…' Elle thought before nodding from her position upon the woman's robed shoulder.

"I understand Azula-sama." Elle answered with a sweet smile after being patted on the head by the scowling woman.

"That's my little lady." Azula purred with her hand gripping the back of her pretty handmaid's head before pressing her lips into the trembling girl's nose.

Mai and Ty Lee were silent while they watched Azula kiss the tip of Elle's nose in a remarkable display of affection.

They weren't sure if they should be moved by the princess's actions or unnerved!

Ty Lee decided to settle for both.

"H-Her Highness's little lady!" Elle exclaimed in an ecstatic voice before laughing happily with the princess's hands clutching the sides of her face while red lips tickled her nose.

The princess peered down at her petite girlfriend with protective amber golden eyes before her full lips retreated from the girl's adorable nose.

All the while a smile almost crept onto her stoic face.

It was evident by the slightest curve of her crimson lips.

Azula was almost smiling.

That was…until she caught the gawking stares of her two-childhood friends.

"What are you two looking at!" Azula hissed in a dangerously violent voice before spinning her head around to glare at her two intimidated friends'.

While she continued to sit before her little girlfriend with her palms grasping Elle's reddened cheeks.

Ty Lee paled under her leader's strict glare all the while thinking that if she didn't know any better…

Azula was falling in love with Elle!

"N-nothing! I just think that you two are so cute together!" Ty Lee blurted out with Mai rolling her eyes while Azula's piercing gaze continued to make her sweat.

"You are my home Azula-sama. T-thank you for taking care of me." Elle spoke in a timid voice while Azula turned to peer down at her with a charming smile beginning to form upon her lips.

"I am your home…because you belong to me. And as I told you previously. You will find that my authority is in your best interests." Azula cooed with a pleased smile about her before gently pushing her pet to her feet while her domineering gaze remained focused on the girl's beaming face.

"Yes! It is in my best interests to serve you Azula-sama!" Elle cheered in a joyful voice while her beautiful princess reclined on her throne with an approving smirk on her regal lips.

The two noblewomen just gazed on in humor over the girl's eagerness to please before being snapped from their thoughts by the sound of Azula clapping.

"Indeed, it is my pet. Now refill my drink." Azula ordered in a smug voice before turning to watch Elle begin refilling her juice with a lovably submissiveness about her.

"As you command Azula-sama." Elle answered before inclining her head in a show of reverence while Azula glanced at her in a beyond satisfied manner.

"Azula, seriously…you threatened to torture and kill fifty people just to make Elle's medicine?" Mai questioned in her usual voice while Azula accepted her drink before waving for the girl to seat herself.

"I did. And your point? Now sit down and finish your breakfast." Azula remarked in an almost parental fashion while she observed her lovely pet bashfully sit down beside her.

"Yes, Mistress Azula." Elle agreed with a jubilant smile while the princess herself smiled over the reply before returning to her meal.

"Hm. Good girl." Azula commented once more before swallowing a bite of her eggs while Elle began to meekly pick at her meal.

"But I thought the mechanist was opposed to building anymore war machinery?" Mai continued in a curious voice while the princess swallowed her food before gazing back at her.

"That is correct Mai. He spouted some nonsense about how neither torture nor starvation would change his mind on the matter." Azula explained with a refined wave of her hand before placing another bite in her mouth.

"Wait Azula…but you didn't want him to construct a weapon. You wanted him to build Elle another breather…" Ty Lee trailed off nervously while she watched her spoiled friend eat her meal.

"That is right Ty Lee. The goal was the replication of the girl's breather." Azula responded before wiping her lips with a cloth in a graceful fashion while the young girl began to shyly peer up at her in an adorably love-struck manner.

"So…why didn't you just tell him that you wanted him to build medical equipment? It stands to reason that he would have agreed right without a need for coercion?" Mai while Azula glanced up from her meal with her nose scrunched up in disgust.

"You expect me to cater to cater to peasant whims? Much less a rebel prisoner? Preposterous! Princess Azula does not halt her conquest for a dirty mountain peasant. Why bother asking peacefully when I can get what I want with merciless precision." Azula ranted with a supremely conceited countenance while she stared coldly back at her sighing friends.

'Leave it to Azula to threaten torture and mass murder just to tell the mechanist that all she wanted was for him to construct medical equipment.' Mai thought with a mildly entertained expression before pushing her empty plate away.

"But Azula…you already cater to a 'peasant' whim." Ty Lee reminded in a helpful voice while Azula angrily stiffened with her callous gaze flickering down to Elle's innocent face.

The small blonde just smiled radiantly while the princess stared down at her with imposing amber golden eyes.

Azula's stony gaze peered down at her timid companion with a trace of annoyance in her stare.

Her gaze was so frigid that it almost looked like Azula was about to call the gentle girl a whole host of horrible names.

Yet both Mai and Ty Lee knew by now that it was just the princess's way of protecting her image.

"The tiger monkey is a special case. And I do not cater to the girl's whims." Azula snapped before pounding her fist on the tabletop while her two friends sighed once more over her boastful behavior.

"Azula-sama?" Elle requested sweetly as if on cue with a finger on her lip while her big sisters snickered when Azula turned to gaze down at her just as soon as she spoke.

"What is it? Don't you laugh at me! I will annihilate the both of you!" Azula roared with an inferno flaring to life behind her after she spun around to glare at her speedily intimidated subordinates.

"C-calm down Azula! It was just a joke." Ty Lee assured with a nervous gulp while the terrifying woman still scowled over at them.

"Are you going to kill the man?" Elle asked in a respectful voice while her mistress peered down at her sighing under her breath.

"After the Avatar has been killed and the war has ended. I will release him to go back to his mountain temple." Azula answered in an aloof manner while she took a long drink of her juice.

The statement took the two noblewomen by surprise.

They couldn't help but muse that it seemed as if Azula was refraining from killing the mechanist solely for Elle's sake.

Almost…as the princess was concerned with upsetting her young admirer.

"Oh! Well that's wonderful news. I'll be sure to thank him for all that he's done for me." Elle announced with a thoughtful nod while all three women listened in amusement.

"Yeah Shorty. He's…probably going to run away before you can even say thanks. And I can't say I blame him." Mai advised flatly while Azula snidely rolled her remorseless amber golden eyes.

"Those that stand against me will get nothing but destruction and misery! I will defeat my opposition and end the rebels in one fell swoop! By the end of Sozin's Comet's I will dominate this entire world!" Azula declared with a violent grin on her regal lips while her friends stared on quietly at her fire lit visage.

The silence in the air was so thick that you could almost hear crickets chirping in the background.

Until the sound of excited clapping began to once more flow into the air.

"Yay! You preach it Azula-sama! Her Highness's victory is inevitable and she cannot be defeated! Long may Azula-sama reign!" Elle cheered in a beyond enthusiastic voice while her eager clapping earned her a pleased stare of approval from her smirking mistress.

The two noblewomen just gazed at their young companion in a comical manner.

Before watching Azula reach down to pat Elle's golden head while she peered down at the petite handmaid with a sophisticated smile on her crimson lips.

"That's so adorable Azula! You have your own little cheer leader!" Ty Lee exclaimed before observing Azula pet Elle's blushing head while the ruthless woman fixed the girl with a fond stare.

"Humph! The girl sees the situation clearly. That's what I like about this one. She understands that it is futile to oppose me." Azula spoke in a supremely pompous voice only to growl in annoyance when a blonde blur plopped into her lap.

"I don't oppose! I snuggle!" Elle chirped before thrusting her fist into the air while her big sisters laughed at Azula's now irate countenance.

"Go back to your chair Elle!" Azula snapped while she glared down at her companion attempting to lounge in her lap.

"But I would much rather sit with you Princess! No! Please let me stay!" Elle cried out before finding herself being raised into the air by a stern hand while her big sisters gazed on comedically over the scene.

"I told you to finish your food. So, finish it." Azula commanded with her eyes narrowing down at the girl in a stony fashion before dropping the now pouting teenager into her own seat.

"A-all I ask for in this life is snuggles and they come so sparsely." Elle mumbled with a slumped countenance while Ty Lee gazed at her in pity.

"I don't understand it Azula. You have a super cute girl that wants to hug on you all day long and all you do is push her away. How can you be so mean to such a lovable snugglebug?" Ty Lee questioned while Azula reached into her bowl of cherries.

"Easily. Cruelty is my specialty." Azula answered before popping the fruit in her mouth while she chewed it with a content smile.

"Honestly. I am still amazed that anyone wants to date Azula much less hug her." Mai stated with a small smirk while Azula paused in swallowing her cherry with her angry amber golden eyes peering back at her.

"I could have you killed for saying that. But I will be merciful. Your life is spared Mai." Azula informed in an icy voice while Mai tried not to roll her eyes.

"Whatever. I hate living anyway." Mai complained while the princess just gazed at her with her brows furrowed.

And Ty Lee giggled in amusement while the golden-haired handmaid began to nibble at her meal.

"Why does that not surprise me…stay in your seat Elle!" Azula shouted after swiftly catching the girl before she could crawl over the arm of her chair.

"I wasn't trying to get in your chair Azula-sama. I was just getting out of mine to go for a walk." Elle replied with a pout only for the princess to glare down at her.

"Try that one more time girl. And I will fire you from my staff of royal servants and replace you with Ty Lee!" Azula announced with a sadistic smirk while her words produced expressions of horror on both of the girls faces.

"N-no longer your royal servant? I wouldn't survive." Elle repeated in a saddened voice while Ty Lee shifted nervously in her seat.

"Please Azula. One morning as your servant was more than enough for me." Ty Lee pleaded in a frightened voice.

"No. I suppose you would not. So just do as I say. Understood Elle?" Azula remarked with a lazy wave of her hand while her little girlfriend began to smile once more.

"Understood Azula-sama!" Elle exclaimed before saluting the smirking woman while Ty Lee breathed yet another sigh of relief.

"Honestly Ty Lee. I am considering leashing her to her chair for all future meals to come. Perhaps…then I will be able to eat without a peasant pressing on my stomach." Azula sighed with a shake of her head while Ty Lee glanced at her nervously.

"Uh I don't think that you have to do that Azula. She's fine without a chain." Ty Lee advised in a wary voice while she regarded the younger girl with an affectionate gaze.

"What's the status of our voyage?" Mai inquired with a sliver of curiosity in her voice while Azula smiled before dropping another cherry between her lips.

"We are heading into port. Zoi reports that she has a lead on the Avatar." Azula responded before gulping down her morsel while the two noblewomen radiated distaste over the captain's name.

"I don't like her. I am glad that she is on a different airship." Mai muttered while Ty Lee frowned in agreement.

"I don't care what you and Ty Lee think of her. I have deemed her presence necessary. And so, has her mother. So, I suggest you two get used to it." Azula explained in a callous voice while her friends grudgingly nodded in understanding.

"Azula-sama? I have another question." Elle asked in her usual courteous voice while Azula turned to peer down at her with stony amber golden eyes.

"What does your little peasant mind wish to know now?" Azula answered with a confident curve of her lips while she lazily bit into her most recent fruit.

"What are our plans for our road trip other than defeating the Avatar?" Elle pondered with an innocent countenance while the princess now gazed down at her with her nose scrunched up in aggravation.

"How many times do I have to tell you that this isn't a road trip!" Azula snapped with blue flames burning behind her as testament to her foul temper.

"Silly Azula-sama. We're soaring across the globe. That's a road trip!" Elle insisted with her big sisters chuckling in amusement while Azula glared down at her over being questioned.

"As your master I decide what constitutes a road trip. And I say that this isn't a road trip." Azula retorted with a haughty wave of her hand before swallowing a cherry.

"It's a road trip and you know it Azula. A trip on the road is a road trip." Mai reminded with a monotone expression while Azula turned to glare in her direction.

"Oneesan Mai says that it's a road trip." Elle chirped with a smile while the noblewoman in question directed her a small smile.

"And I say that it's a road trip too!" Ty Lee exclaimed with a grin while Elle beamed over in her direction.

"Well, unfortunately for you three. My opinion holds more weight than all of you combined." Azula commented with an arrogant smirk while she gazed down at Elle's pouting face.

"A-aren't we going to do something together Azula-sama? The ocean is so pretty! I want to go swimming!" Elle cried out before tugging on the older girl's sleeve while the woman released a snarl of annoyance.

"Hey I have an idea Azula! With your upgraded bending your pretty much invincible now, right?" Ty Lee questioned with her words producing a smug smirk on the other woman's face.

"That's right. I am beyond defeat. Such is the nature of my perfection." Azula boasted before wiping her lips while she pushed her plate away.

The other two women almost rolled their eyes over the arrogant boast but knew better than to push their luck by being too open with Azula.

"Then you'll be fine without us! How about I buy a ticket for a cruise and all three of us will go have a super pink time. You can come join us whenever you're done torturing the Avatar." Ty Lee quipped before smiling playfully while Azula reeled around with an offended scowl.

"True. I can handle the Avatar by myself. But this one stays here with me." Azula stated in a supremely haughty voice while she dominantly grasped ahold of her little girlfriend's shirt before pulling the cheerful girl forward.

"I get to stay with Her Highness!" Elle agreed with an elated smile only for her big sisters to sigh while the princess forcibly yanked on the collar of her shirt.

"Hm. That's right. Someone has to be here to cook my meals and wait on me hand and foot." Azula purred with a pompous grin before peering down at her little girlfriend's still brightly smiling face.

"If you ask me it sounds like a good idea. Azula's missions are starting to bore me." Mai admitted with a faint sigh while Azula turned to briefly glare at her through the corner of her eye.

"Don't be so selfish Azula. Elle wants to go swimming! You should totally let us take her on an outing!" Ty Lee insisted while she smiled when her little sister gazed over with her little amber eyes practically sparkling.

"Can I go swimming with my oneesans? Eep!" Elle squeaked before gulping in a submissive manner while Azula stared down at her with imposing amber golden eyes that sent a pleasant shiver down her spine.

"Alright Ty Lee. You can take her. Under one condition." Azula remarked in a taunting fashion while Ty Lee sat up in surprise.

"Sure Azula! Name it and we'll abide by it!" Ty Lee exclaimed in a jovial manner while Mai just gazed at Azula with doubting tawny eyes.

"If you wish to take my servant. You must defeat me in a duel. And if you win. She is yours to command." Azula announced with an inferno ablaze in her amber golden eyes while she glared stonily at Ty Lee's deflating countenance.

"I could have told you that she was going to say something like that." Mai stated with a bored shake of her head.

"T-that's not fair Azula. I can't defeat you." Ty Lee protested while she scowled with her arms folded over her breasts.

"Then your claim is invalid. By rights of strength Elle belongs to me." Azula scoffed with a smug flip of her hair while her little pet smiled underneath her dominant grip.

It went without saying that both noblewomen were now staring at the princess in an utterly exasperated manner.

"My what? I don't want to date her Azula! She's my adorable little sister." Ty Lee reasoned in a frustrated huff only for the spoiled woman to pay her no mind.

"Don't even bother Ty Lee." Mai advised in a monotonous manner beside the sighing Ty Lee.

"It doesn't matter. The girl practically begged me to take control of her life. And so out of the kindness of my heart I marked her as mine. And now I make her decisions for her. And I say no." Azula spoke in a stern voice while Ty Lee sank back in defeat.

"Whatever Azula. Meanie." Ty Lee grumbled while the princess rolled her elegant eyes over her behavior.

"Marked her?" Mai repeated flatly while she gazed at the proud woman for an answer.

"Azula-sama performed an ancient dragon ritual on me. She says that it was used by dragons to mark their territory to let other dragons know that the land was already claimed." Elle explained with a sunny smile to her bewildered big sisters.

"Elle isn't a piece of land that you can claim Azula." Ty Lee commented with a prolonged sigh while Azula lazily reached into her cherry bowl once more.

"Yes, I can. She's my pet girlfriend." Azula declared in an absolutely conceited voice while she smirked in the direction of her deadpan faced friends.

"Your pet girlfriend?" Mai asked with a groan while Ty Lee too stared at Azula in disapproval.

"Mhm. That's right. Open your mouth Elle!" Azula barked before thrusting a pointed finger down at her submissive girl while she watched the small girl sit still with her mouth opening upon command.

"As you say Azula-sama! Always as you say." Elle cried out with a bashful voice before Azula tossed the fruit between her lips while the two noblewomen gazed at the princess in disapproval.

"She even catches cherries on command. Such a good pet." Azula cooed before patting Elle's golden head while the blushing girl beamed up at her.

"A-Azula you're not supposed to train your girlfriend like a puppy." Ty Lee argued in a reproachful manner only for the spoiled woman to wave her hand in dismissal.

"I am Azula-sama's puppy!" Elle announced with a radiant grin while the looming princess smiled down at her in approval.

Her big sisters just shook their heads while the regal woman snapped her domineering fingers once more.

"Hm. So you are. Now sit! Bow your head…catch!" Azula instructed in a beyond pompous voice before tossing another cherry above the girl's head.

"Azula…" Ty Lee trailed off in a scolding voice but she still managed to brook a smile over how adorable Elle was.

"Nom!" Elle exclaimed in a childish voice before gulping down the cherry while Azula chuckled above her.

"This one is mine. Aren't you dear?" Azula purred in a silken voice before planting her palm in her little handmaid's hair.

"I-I am your good girl Azula-sama." Elle stuttered with a peaceful smile while the princess's strong hand compressed her in her seat.

"Now that…is what I like to hear." Azula spoke with a content smirk before reclining on her bottom while she continued to pull on her pet's shirt.

"Princess?" Elle asked in her usual timid voice while Azula peered down at her through the corner of her eye.

Azula couldn't help but adore the beyond courteous way that the girl said 'Princess'.

The girl spoke it with more respect than anyone else she has ever known.

"What now Elle?" Azula responded with an attentive smile before she turned to stare down at the girl while she continued to run her fingers through her handmaid's hair.

"Will you please take me swimming before the trip is over?" Elle requested before inclining her head in a show of her fealty while callous amber golden eyes stared down at her in a pleased manner.

It was obvious to both Mai and Ty Lee that Elle was quite skilled at getting what she wants from Azula.

If the girl was told no once.

She simply asks again in an even more respectful manner than before.

"Can you even swim well with that breathing condition of yours?" Azula pondered with her gaze shifting down to the young girl's lovably holding a finger to her lip.

"I can't swim at all!" Elle confessed in a carefree voice while Azula glanced down at her with her amber golden eyes now twitching in anger.

All the while her two big sisters' nearly fell out of their chairs in shock.

"You…can't swim?" Azula demanded in a growl while she glared down at her companion happily nodding in affirmative.

"Nope! If this ship crashed, I would totally drown!" Elle informed with an easy-going shrug while her smile never waned in the slightest.

"I've got to say Elle. I have never met anyone as happy-go-lucky as you." Mai stated in a perplexed tone while their young companion beamed back at her.

"Eh…neither have I." Ty Lee replied while the princess continued to stare down at the smaller girl in an annoyed manner.

"I just go with the flow. It doesn't matter where I flow. Even if it's to the bottom of the ocean! If that's the way it flows…oh well! There's no sense in letting a silly thing like drowning ruin my day!" Elle explained with another breezy shrug of her shoulders while the three women stared at her incredulously.

The sound of the princess's palm slapping her own forehead echoed into the air while Elle still smiled up at her.

"Ugh. Just when I thought you couldn't get weaker. You got weaker." Azula grumbled in a frustrated voice while Ty Lee gazed at her in disapproval.

"That's mean Azula. So, what if Elle's not strong? She's one of us now." Ty Lee reminded in a sisterly voice.

"S-sumimasen…" Elle mumbled with her smile beginning to slip while the much taller princess scowled down at her.

It was evident to all three that the only thing that could ruin Elle's day was Azula's disapproval.

That simple fact proved how deeply the innocent girl adored her wicked companion of a princess.

"Quit your moping Tiger Monkey. You are a dainty little thing but you are my dainty little thing." Azula sighed before placing her palm in her little girlfriend's hair while Elle sat with a bashful smile returning to her lips.

At times like this Ty Lee couldn't help but manage a warm smile over the duo's bizarre manner of bonding.

Azula may be cold, and she may be cruel, and she may even be obsessed with warfare and dominance.

But there was no doubt in her mind that the princess cared for Elle.

"I-I am yours Azula-sama." Elle agreed in a timid voice while she sat shy with the older girl's palm sternly pressing down upon her head.

"That is correct Elle…oh I suppose this means that I will have to add swimming to your daily lessons." Azula sighed with a flip of her bangs while she absentmindedly stroked her petite handmaid's golden hair.

"Really!" Elle yelled out in excitement while the princess rolled her amber golden eyes in a mocking manner.

"Yes. Really. I will not allow it to be said that Princess Azula did not teach her girlfriend how to swim." Azula scoffed with a haughty huff while Ty Lee grinned in approval.

"That's right! We'll just teach you how to swim little sister." Ty Lee assured with a gentle nod while their young companion blushed over their combined attentions.

"A-arigatou gozaimasu…" Elle stammered with a grateful smile while long fingers continued to dance through her hair.

"There is no need to thank me. I will throw you in the ocean and if you don't start to swim properly then I will imprison you in Boiling Rock for your defiance!" Azula announced in a terrifyingly strict voice while she narrowed her eyes down at the now intimidated girl.

While the two noblewomen just gazed at their friend as if they thought her insane.

"That's not how swimming works." Mai informed with a sigh while Ty Lee stared at their leader in a horrified manner.

"Y-you can't just throw the poor girl in the ocean Azula! And you most certainly can't send her to Boiling Rock just because she doesn't know how to swim!" Ty Lee protested with alarm in her voice while the spoiled woman scoffed in response.

"I can do as I please Ty Lee! I own her and I will punish her as I see fit!" Azula retorted with a haughty smirk while Elle still peered up at her in a cheerful manner.

"Yep! I belong to Her Highness. Her word is my law!" Elle chirped in a radiant fashion while her big sisters stared on in humor over her habit of agreeing with everything the princess said.

"You shouldn't agree to everything Azula says Elle." Ty Lee chided with a fond shake of her head while the arrogant woman smiled in a pleased fashion.

"Humph. The girl has the right idea. I am the boss of this peasant." Azula boasted with a pompous smirk before patting the cheerful girl atop her little head.

"I eagerly await your next order Azula-sama. You are the boss of me!" Elle agreed with a grin while Azula stared down at her in a grudgingly fond fashion.

"Well then. Finish your meal." Azula ordered in a strict voice while she watched Elle begin to pout once more.

"B-but I'm not hungry." Elle mumbled while the three women observed her half-eaten plate with varyingly levels of amusement.

"How are you not hungry? You've barely even eaten." Azula remarked with her brows furrowing in a scrutinizing manner while her harsh gaze swept over her little servant's innocent face.

"You know Azula. It really is sweet of you to make sure that Elle is getting adequate daily meals." Ty Lee commented only for Azula to spin around with her eyes ablaze at the mere implication that she was being kind.

"I am not sweet! Say that again and you will be picking cherry pits until your hands bleed!" Azula snapped before thrusting a finger in the direction of the now gulping Ty Lee.

"G-got it." Ty Lee answered before wisely falling silent.

"I don't need food. I already have all the fuel I need to start my day." Elle spoke with a childish puff of her chest while Azula snorted mockingly above her.

"Really? You don't need food?" Azula inquired only to blink in surprise when a blonde blur plopped down onto the arm of her throne.

"Yep! I don't need food! Because I subside on snuggles!" Elle cried out with her backside balancing on the arm of the large chair before beaming up at her princess's snorting countenance.

Meanwhile both noblewomen were staring at their young companion as if she had just spouted a second head.

Ty Lee couldn't resist a lighthearted giggle while Mai herself stared at Elle with her brows quirking in an amused manner.

The mere fact that Azula made no move to move Elle from the side of her throne was even more proof of the princess's budding affections.

"You subside on snuggles?" Azula repeated with a pompous roll of her amber golden eyes before she turned to regard her handmaid in a stern gaze while the smaller girl began to lean against her shoulder.

"Oh yeah! I get all the energy I need from our snuggles Azula-sama. And since we just snuggled all night long, I am at maximum capacity!" Elle shouted with an excited smile before planting her chin against her mistress's shoulder yet even still Azula did not push her away.

"Aww! Well I'll just have to remember to hug you even more now little sister!" Ty Lee gushed just as she grinned widely while Elle peered over at her with her amber eyes simply shimmering in delight.

"Well then I now decree that it is hereby illegal for you to eat. Mai. Ty Lee. As of this moment forward, we will no longer be feeding her food of any kind. No matter how hungry she gets. You are forbidden to give her so much as a single morsel." Azula announced with a graceful smile while she glanced down at the still smiling girl laying against her shoulder.

"Whatever you are saying Azula, sure. I stopped listening to your rambling five minutes ago." Mai stated in an incredibly bored voice while the princess gazed at her with a spark of anger in her amber golden eyes.

"Um…as much as I love snuggling her, she does need to eat." Ty Lee quipped with a warm countenance.

"No Ty Lee. The girl herself stated that all she needed was snuggles. Therefore, she will receive three hugs per day in place of three meals." Azula spoke before waving her hand while Elle peered up at her with the most adorable pout.

"Only three hugs? I need a lot more than three hugs per day!" Elle protested with a finger on her lip while Ty Lee gazed over at her fondly.

"Too bad. My decree is three." Azula sneered with a twinge of playful sadism in her dominant voice while her little admirer pouted into her shoulder.

"B-but I want more than three…" Elle whined only to jump in a startled manner when Azula snapped her fingers loudly in her sulking face.

"Since you are clearly finished eating. I command you to clean up my dirty dishes." Azula ordered with a beyond entitled wave of her hand before watching in great satisfaction when her little pet leaped to her feet upon command.

The two noblewomen sighed over their leader's overbearing behavior but knew better than to argue with Azula.

"Wakarimashita Azula-sama!" Elle cheered with a sunny countenance before bending to bow to her seated mistress.

All the while the princess stared down at her bowing form with beyond strict amber golden eyes that approved of her reverence.

Just knowing that she's pleased her princess was enough for her chest to swell in pride.

"Such a respectful girl you are. You truly wish to serve me for all of your days don't you Elle?" Azula purred with her backside sliding forward before she leaned down to sit above her bowing pet.

"T-that's so Azula-sama. Y-your girl wishes to please you forevermore." Elle stuttered with a timid smile while Azula bent over her before to hover just inches above her amber eyes.

"Hm. Very good. That's my good girl." Azula cooed in an increasingly obsessed voice before planting a palm in her little girlfriend's hair while she exhaled upon her quivering pet's cheek.

"O-oh Azula-sama…" Elle swooned before laughing sweetly while the princess stared down at her with possessive amber golden eyes.

"Aww…" Ty Lee trailed off in a quiet voice while she observed the strange couple's touching interactions.

That was when the princess's cold eyes flickered down to her pretty handmaid's golden bow tie while her crimson lips began to curve into the slightest hint of a frown.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your tie straight?" Azula sighed in a voice that bordered on parental before she began swiftly adjusting the now shame faced girl's bow tie.

Mai sat staring at Azula with genuine bewilderment in her tawny eyes while she watched Azula 'fix' the girl's bow.

Except that it had straight right from the start.

'Is Azula…making an excuse just to tie Elle's bow?' Mai thought with her brows furrowing in curiosity over her leader's strange behavior.

"I-it was? I-I didn't notice." Elle answered with an embarrassment lining her fair cheeks while Azula snorted out a small puff of fire in response.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Azula scoffed with a purposeful roll of her elegant eyes while Elle peered down at her feet with an abashed amber gaze.

"S-sumimasen Azula-sama." Elle murmured much like a saddened puppy while the princess stared down at her with a margin of fondness within her frigid gaze.

"But I suppose it is my responsibility look after you. You are my little girlfriend after all." Azula remarked with a sophisticated smile while she stared into her innocent girlfriend's brightening amber eyes.

"I…am forever thankful for your guidance Azula-sama." Elle stated with a bashful smile while Azula began to sweep her fingernails through her hair in a stunningly affection manner.

The two noblewomen found themselves so taken aback by the princess's peculiar habit of tending to their young companion that neither of them so much as uttered a word.

Mostly out of a well-founded fear that Azula would start to berate Elle just as soon as they drew attention to her gentlewomanly behavior.

"You didn't brush your hair properly this morning and it shows. I count not one but five hairs that are out of place!" Azula declared with a disapproving shake of her head while poor Elle's eyes widened in horror.

Now that had Mai rolling her eyes.

Only Azula would lecture her girlfriend over leaving a few hairs out of place.

"Sumimasen Azula-sama! Sumimasen!" Elle cried out in a fretful voice while the princess patted down her hair.

"From now on I will be brushing your hair for you. This is just unacceptable." Azula commented in beyond controlling voice before cupping her quivering girlfriend's soft cheeks.

"If you say so Princess then it will be so." Elle agreed with a timid twinge of redness lining her cheeks while Azula peered down at her with a charming smile gracing her lovely features.

"There. Now that is what I like to see." Azula purred with a pleased smirk before giving the girl another pat to the head while she gently pushed her handmaid to her feet.

"I am so honored that you find me to your liking Azula-sama." Elle responded with a proud smile adorning her cheeks while her mistress waved her hand in a spinning motion.

"Spin for me little handmaid." Azula ordered with her lips curving into an approving grin before reclining on her bottom while she watched in delight when her little pet spun in a graceful circle.

"If my princess tells me to spin…I will spin until Her Highness is satisfied." Elle announced with her golden hair briefly falling in her eyes before turning to a stop before Azula's vastly pleased countenance.

"Aww. She's so adorable Azula." Ty Lee gushed while Azula sat staring down at Elle with a fist curling up beneath her chin.

"Beautiful. Spin again for me would you dear?" Azula remarked with a lazy hum while her smile grew even larger when her pretty handmaid spun upon command.

"Yes Azula-sama. I live as you command." Elle spoke before laughing joyfully while she performed another twirl for her dominant princess.

"You are such a lovely girl. I am pleased that you are mine." Azula stated in a domineering fashion while she observed her adorable servant spin to a stop once more.

"Yours Princess!" Elle exclaimed with a bashful smile before bending over to offer her smiling princess one final bow.

"I have one more reward for you Elle. Since you have been on such good behavior…I have decided to give it to you now." Azula revealed in a charming voice while Elle stood smiling brightly with her hands clasped behind her back.

"Another reward Azula-sama?" Elle repeated in a sweet voice before turning to eagerly watch her princess reach into the box once more.

"Didn't I just say as much? Here." Azula replied voice before lowering the offering before her companion's shocked face.

The two noblewomen stared on with amazed eyes to see Elle's music player being deposited into her open hands.

"Y-you fixed my music player for me?" Elle inquired in a deeply emotional voice while she gaped up at Azula rolling her entrancing eyes down at her.

"I should think that obvious. Take note that I am rolling my eyes." Azula snorted in a colder voice while she gazed down into her little girlfriend's emotive amber eyes.

"Azula…" Ty Lee sighed with a shake of her head while still managing to smile over their young companion's growing excitement.

"Yay! It's powering on!" Elle squealed with childish glee in her voice while her three friends gazed at her in amusement.

"Of course, it is! I tested it out myself. It is now fully powered by my lightning generation." Azula explained with her elbow leaning against the arm of her throne.

While she keenly observed her small servant place the headphones over her ears just as she cried out in joy once more.

The three older girls sat and watched their young friend begin to bob her head just when the sound of faint music began to resonate from her headset.

"Arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama!" Elle cheered with a sunny countenance before taking Azula by surprise when she embraced her caretaker in a hug around her neckline.

"You are welcome servant. Just be a good girl for me and you will that I am more than capable of satisfying your little peasant desires." Azula spoke with a pompous sigh before giving her young companion an awkward pat to the back.

"Yes! I can't hear you very well right now but my answer is yes!" Elle chirped before hopping to her feet while her big sisters glanced on in an amused manner.

"I suppose it pleases me that you are enjoying your little peasant toy. After all I did force a man to labor in a cell day in and day out. So, I should hope you find it to your liking." Azula remarked in a dismissive voice while the other two women shuddered in renewed sympathy for the inventor.

"Huh? I didn't hear what you just said Azula-sama." Elle commented with her hands on her headphones only for Azula to gaze back at her with a cruel smile.

"Oh, I was just telling you to take care of our dishes." Azula remarked while she reclined with a hand on her full belly before gesturing to the many dishes scattered about.

Mai and Ty Lee both cast Azula a pointed look knowing full well that was not what she said.

"Oh right! I'll get the dishes Mistress. Is it okay if I listen to my music now?" Elle requested in a voice of unrivaled respect while the princess glanced at her with an approving smile upon her red lips.

"Carry on my pet." Azula assured in a clearly entertained voice while she watched her pretty pet smile back at her.

"Yes! If my princess says get the dishes. I get the dishes." Elle spoke to herself with a joyful hum just as she grasped ahold of a cart in the corner of the hall before she started collecting the older girl's dishes.

"You shouldn't make Elle get all of the dishes Azula." Ty Lee chastised in a sisterly voice only for the spoiled woman to wave her concerns away.

"Please Ty Lee. The girl is happy to do so. If you haven't noticed she is quite eager to please us." Azula scoffed with a haughty smile while she lazed back in her throne.

"I've noticed Azula." Ty Lee answered with a softened voice before moving to place her dishes on the cart only for Elle to stop her.

"I've got it oneesan! You don't have to get up." Elle stated kindly while Ty Lee smiled back at her fondly.

"You are too sweet Elle." Ty Lee replied with a sigh while she watched her little sister quickly collect her dishes.

And then the teenage girl speedily gathered Mai's plate while the aloof woman observed her with a sliver of affection in her stare.

"Thank you, Elle." Mai commented before giving Elle a pat to the back while she observed the young girl hum to her music.

Judging by the volume of the girl's music she could only conclude that the girl didn't hear her.

And then Elle finally pushed the cart before Azula while the controlling woman's amber golden eyes followed her every movement.

"Commoners and their toys." Azula snorted in a snobbish voice that disguised her interest in the device while her humming handmaid began to push the cart away.

"That's strange Azula. Out of the three of us you seemed to be the most interested in Elle's music player." Mai reminded with a small smirk only for the regal woman turned to scoff at her.

"That was only so I could repair the device. The last thing I need is the girl crying over her broken toy. I have no interest in such commoner trivialities." Azula insisted with her hands in her lap while her two friends stared at her with disbelieving eyes.

"Uh…right Azula. If you say so." Ty Lee stated with an amused grin before observing Azula turned to watch the young girl bounce towards the door while adorably bobbing her head to her music.

There was no doubt in her mind that Azula had actually listened to the music player in private.

Not that the princess would ever state as such out loud though.

Azula just watched with comically bewildered amber golden eyes to see her young girlfriend begin to almost dance to the music.

It was one of the many enigmas that comprised Elle that had her stony amber golden eyes blinking in puzzlement.

No matter how hard she tried to understand the girl. She found that there were just some things about her servant that she couldn't make sense of.

Perhaps…that was why she was so fond of this one?

"Such a strange peasant." Azula spoke in an almost fond manner with a finger beneath her chin while she watched her bouncing handmaid depart through the door.

With her cheerful humming resonating down the long corridors of the warship.

"Yeah. Very strange." Mai agreed with her tawny eyes still blinking at the closed door.

"But super cute!" Ty Lee yelled out with a giggle while the princess rolled her amber golden eyes in an attempt to act like she didn't care.

"Of course, you would think so Ty Lee. But I must admit that there are days when I wonder if the tiger monkey is the castaway runt from an alien species." Azula sighed with a finger twirling through her dark hair while Ty Lee continued to laugh in amusement.

"What if Elle really is an alien Azula? What if her cuteness is all just a front to defeat you and destroy the entire planet!" Ty Lee announced with a broad grin while the other two women stared at her for what seemed like an eternity.

"Oh please. The girl can't even work up the courage to confront a spider much less lead an invasion force." Azula retorted with another snide roll of her eyes while the other woman laughed in lighthearted agreement.

"You're not wrong on that one Azula." Ty Lee said gently with her arms crossed over her breasts while the regal princess continued to stare at the closed door.

"The Crown Princess of the Fire Nation is never wrong. Most especially not when it comes to this one." Azula declared with her crimson lips curving into a refined smile.

Indeed.

Her little admirer was a curious little thing.

But she belongs to her all the same.

She was…hers.

And for reasons unknown she decided that it was a pleasing thought.

Her little girlfriend.

AN:

It will be awhile before Zoi and Elle interact without Azula overseeing the two of them. Since Zoi is Azula's most skilled soldier, she feels the need to keep up appearances in front of her. She doesn't want Clan Song to know that she has a soft spot for her handmaid. Zoi and Elle will eventually form a sort of friendship but it will be a great many chapters before they get there.

Regarding Elle's songs, the only named song that Elle has listened to thus far is 'Be Your Girl' by Chieko Kawabe from the Elfin Lied anime. If lyrics aren't listed, then Elle wasn't listening to any particular song. As for Azula's taste in music, I haven't decided any particular music that Azula likes or doesn't like. At least...not yet.

As always, thank you for reading and please be sure to review!
