Evening Out – Chapter Nine
Mai sighed heavily from where she sat overlooking an ocean-side meadow.
She was currently gazing off to the side from where Elle knelt still searching for a proper flower for Azula.
'Damn them for abandoning me…does this girl think of anything that isn't Azula?' Mai thought while scrunching her brows up in disbelief while the girl continued to pour over the flower field.
And she couldn't exactly just cut the girl loose like she could anyone else.
Ty Lee and comically enough Azula, would surely kill her.
"Okay. I have to ask. What are your interests besides Azula?" Mai questioned in her typical voice while peering at the petite girl's back.
"Um…I like to paint!" Elle exclaimed while Mai leaned forward on her elbows somewhat taken aback by that answer.
She hadn't pegged the girl for a painter.
"About what?" Mai pondered in a mildly curious voice.
"Primarily Azula-sama." Elle commented while the sound of Mai slapping her own face with her hand echoed throughout the air.
"Why am I not surprised. But seriously. What beside Azula?" Mai continued in a bored tone while gazing off into the distance.
"I like to write poems. Also, about Azula-sama." Elle answered innocently while Mai groaned from beneath her palm.
"Right…" Mai trailed off as she eyed the girl closely.
Even if it was solely about Azula, it was still impressive that a girl her age was into both poetry and painting.
"I used to enjoy reading comics. But I haven't had any access to new reading material since I arrived. I don't exactly have any money…" Elle admitted while the noblewoman turned to her surprised by the non-Azula related hobby.
It was something anyhow…until Azula ordered a comic series to be created as tribute to her with her as the main character…
"You haven't been paid yet?" Mai inquired while inwardly wondering if Azula would be cruel enough to keep the girl as a slave instead of the standard paid servant.
"I get paid? I thought my pay was a roof and the pleasure of serving the princess." Elle answered with genuine awe in her voice while Mai stared at her for what seemed like a long moment.
"There isn't much pleasure in serving Azula. At least…not for most. But yes…you do get paid." Mai informed while gazing on in a faint amusement when the girl's face brightened immensely.
"If I get paid then I can buy Her Highness a gift!" Elle cheered with delight in her eyes while Mai stared at her in even further bafflement.
"What? Why would you spend all of your pay just to get Azula a gift? She is spoiled enough as it is kid." Mai muttered while running a hand through her hair.
"I wonder what I should get her…hm." Elle pondered while holding a finger to her lip thoughtfully with the woman's words soaring over her head.
"I suppose in your case…slave and servant are one and the same." Mai commented while still peering at the small blonde in a deadpan manner while the girl fumbled through the flowers.
"Would Azula-sama like a golden flower?" Elle asked while peering over her shoulder at the annoyed woman.
'Azula…I am going to kill you.' Mai thought as she began to tap her fingers with her eyes shimmering in irritation.
"She is quite difficult to please. To say the least. But you seem quite adept at making her happy." Mai responded with as much patience as she could muster.
"So, yes then?" Elle continued while Mai began to tap her boot on the ground in increased annoyance.
"Yes! She will like the flower." Mai assured speedily with her teeth ground together in frustration.
"Arigatou gozaimasu, oneesan." Elle announced to the woman's complete shock.
"You are calling me big sister?" Mai pondered in a truly bewildered voice.
It was rare feat to make her lose her trademark composed face but somehow this girl managed to do just that.
"Is that alright?" Elle responded while peering over her shoulder with the first signs of worry in the woman's presence.
Mai contemplated the matter for the briefest of moments.
She ultimately decided that it did not bother her.
The girl was very kind. Possibly the kindest she's ever met. Too sweet for Azula…if you asked her.
"No. That is fine. Call me it if you wish. But may I ask why?" Mai spoke before standing up to go sit beside the girl.
"I finally feel like I have somewhere where I belong. My brother has been the only family I've had ever since my parents died…long ago…and I have always wanted big sisters…so I thought if you and Ty Lee didn't mind…" Elle explained gently while gazing up to see the woman standing over her.
"I see. Well, I don't mind. I doubt it will bother Ty Lee at all either." Mai replied before seating herself beside the smaller girl.
The only weird part was the fact that Azula was mistress…and they were big sister.
But she decided to chalk that up to Azula's control freak behavior.
The naïve girl was probably only calling the princess that in the hopes of making her happy.
"Yay!" Elle cheered to the older girl's further surprise before enveloping her in a sudden hug around her stomach.
Once more Mai sat back with her eyes widening in complete confusion.
"Shorty, I don't…do hugs." Mai stated while squirming to break free from the girl's grip.
It was funny when it was Azula under attack but now…
She could only groan when the joyful girl refused to release her.
"Everyone does hugs!" Elle exclaimed with an innocent aura about her while the older girl peered down at her sighing.
"I just said that I didn't…" Mai trailed off dryly before awkwardly hugging the petite girl with one arm.
She glanced up at the sky all the while asking herself how such a kind girl would be drawn to Azula.
"I like the Fire Nation." Elle remarked while they sat hugging each other.
Much like a big sister and her little sister that was under her elder's close watch.
"You are not from the Fire Nation? Azula never told me where you were from." Mai questioned with slight curiosity while gazing down at the rather clingy girl.
"Oh, no. I'm from another land that isn't on your maps." Elle declared so happily that the noblewoman furrowed her brows presuming it was a joke.
"Haven't heard that one before." Mai stated dryly while still peering down at the girl's radiant face.
"I am completely serious. I have no clue how I got here. A few weeks ago, I had never even heard of the Fire Nation." Elle admitted much to Mai's total disbelief.
"What? So, you are not joking." Mai spoke while quirking her eyebrows in amazement.
It took a great deal to amaze her.
But hearing someone claim to be from a land that wasn't on their world map certainly did the trick.
If this was true…she couldn't help but wonder if that would explain much of Azula's interest in this bizarre young girl.
"As serious as a heart attack. But that is all behind me now. There is nothing for me there. This is my home now." Elle declared in a serene voice while staring up at the taken aback older girl.
"There is nothing that you wish to go back to?" Mai inquired in a voice that hid her mild pity for the girl's seemingly abusive past.
"No. Why would I? Then I wouldn't be able to see you, or Ty Lee, or Azula-sama ever again. And that…would make me very sad." Elle muttered while Mai stared down at her with sympathy in her usually aloof eyes.
It sounds like the girl was latching onto them…because she has never had anyone else.
"I see. You are a nice girl…Elle." Mai stated while they finally disconnected from the sisterly embrace.
"Arigatou gozaimasu. Oneesan." Elle replied while bending over to finally pick her chosen flower.
Mai couldn't help but feel touched by the girl's quick trust in her.
It was undoubtably naïve, but sweet all the same.
"Finally decided on a flower?" Mai asked while noticing the girl had chosen a rather lovely color of gold.
'We will have to watch over this girl…to make certain that Azula doesn't plan on hurting her.' Mai thought while furrowing her brows as she realized the thought of letting Azula tarnish this girl was quite disturbing.
She could not help but think about how Zuko would like her, while she tried to ignore the brief stabbing pain in her chest.
"Mhm. I hope she likes it!" Elle chimed while Mai still sat staring down at her with faintly softened eyes.
That was when they both heard the sound of a throat clearing behind them which was followed shortly afterward by a girlish giggle.
"Hope who likes what?" Azula demanded with her hands on her at her sides while Ty Lee continued to giggle softly.
It was obvious to all but Elle that the princess was being possessive.
"Azula-sama! I missed you!" Elle called out as if they have been apart for weeks.
The girl's joyous cry earned her two questioning stares while Ty Lee judged the unsocial woman's side.
As if to silently say see I told you so.
"Missed me? But it has barely been an…oof!" Azula exclaimed as she was suddenly assaulted around her belly by the small blonde.
"One hour is far too long!" Elle cried out while embracing the princess's belly as she peered up at her now annoyed countenance.
"Servant…release me!" Azula barked while trying to push the girl off as gently as possible.
How bizarre was it that she did not wish to bruise her further?
"Azula…what did I tell you about using her name?" Ty Lee sighed while still smiling even so at the amusing scene.
"And I already told you that I am her mistress, not you. I will call her as I please." Azula snapped in a spoiled voice while ignoring her two friends exasperated gazes as she stood with her pet cuddling her belly.
"What took you so long? And why do you have a mark on your face?" Mai inquired while exchanging a glance with Ty Lee who was gazing off into space in a laughably suspicious manner.
She has known the two long enough to tell when something was up.
There was a hint of an unspoken tension that followed after her question.
She couldn't help but ponder…did Ty Lee have anything to do with the imprint on Azula's face?
"Did someone hurt you? Is that why you were gone for so long?" Elle pondered while peering up at the proud woman with concerned amber eyes.
The two noblewomen shared an amused glance while Azula scowled down at the girl who still refused to release her.
"No, I was not injured, servant. Do you doubt my power?" Azula demanded as she folded her arms while staring down at Elle's easily intimidated face with narrowed eyes.
It would not do well if her little admirer was beginning to doubt her dominance.
Perhaps…this night out was a good idea after all.
"N-no of course not, Your Highness!" Elle exclaimed while Azula carefully pushed her back with a strong hand before leaning over her in a domineering manner.
"You had better not. I am the greatest there is." Azula announced with her hands on her hips while she towered over the rapidly nodding petite girl.
Mai was gazing at Azula with a baffled countenance all the while gazing at Ty Lee as the girl continued to giggle.
'Is Azula…trying to posture to impress Elle? Could she actually be interested in this girl?' Mai thought while gazing between the princess and her handmaid with faint curiosity in her stare.
"I would never doubt you, Azula-sama! You are so strong and so b-beautiful." Elle responded while a blush overtook her cheeks as she cradled her mistress's flower carefully in her cupped palms.
"Hm. Just you wait until I get a chance to show you just how powerful I really am." Azula remarked while staring down at Elle in a conceited manner while the smaller girl gazed up at her with adorable eyes.
"Ugh. I could puke. Her ego has soared through the roof." Mai muttered beside Ty Lee while the other woman nodded in agreement.
"It certainly has. So, what have you and Elle been up to while we were away?" Ty Lee inquired as she turned with her hands on her hips noting the small meadow at the edge of the city.
"I-I can't wait…" Elle trailed off bashfully while Azula peered down at her with observant amber golden eyes.
Why couldn't the other servants behave more like Elle?
She pondered it for the briefest of moments before musing that it was a ridiculous thought.
If they all acted like Elle then there would be nothing unique about her servant's personality.
And somehow…the thought of Elle just being one of hundreds lost in the stream of palace servants displeased her.
"Do you…have something in your hand, servant?" Azula questioned with a hand held to her chin as she surveyed the dainty girl's lovely form.
"I-I have a gift for my princess." Elle stammered while the princess gazed down at her with vastly gratified eyes.
As soon as Ty Lee heard that she turned to Azula while still smiling as she tried her best to silently convey to the princess to be gentle with Elle.
"Another gift for me? But you just gave me a gift this morning." Azula spoke while smiling with her eyes never leaving her pet's flushing face.
"I-I know. B-but one gift is not enough for my princess…" Elle trailed off while kicking at an imaginary pebble with her cheeks developing a crimson hue.
"On that we agree…well? Aren't you going to give me my gift?" Azula purred while brushing her hair from her eyes in a seductive manner.
"Seriously? You gave Azula a gift this morning and we spent nearly an entire hour browsing a flower field?" Mai inquired in her usual monotone while Azula turned to glance at her smirking so smugly.
"Aww. That is so sweet, Mai. Did you help Elle select a flower for Azula?" Ty Lee teased all the while grinning at the gloomy woman's irate face.
"Yes, indeed, Mai. It is nice to know that you were thinking of me while I was away." Azula taunted while Mai glared at her with her hands twitching in her anger.
"Azula, just shut up, and look at your flower." Mai growled while the princess smiled even so as she turned to gaze at the innocent girl's nervous face.
"I…hope you like it, Azula-sama." Elle mumbled while unfolding her palms to reach up to hand the regal woman her golden flower.
Ty Lee gasped when she laid her eyes upon the simply gorgeous flower while gazing at the younger girl's back.
She really hopes that Azula doesn't break Elle's little heart.
She…doesn't think that Elle will be able to handle her beloved princess rejecting her.
The princess found herself gazing down at the little flower with a marginally widened look in her callous eyes.
Though she would never say it aloud.
She was finding that this pure-hearted girl had a way of touching her ice-cold heart.
"You…spent an hour to pick this for me?" Azula asked as she accepted the flower with her mind vividly recalling their first meeting just nearly a week ago.
"Y-yes. Oneesan assured me that you liked gold." Elle stuttered while Azula peered down at her in even further surprise.
All the while Ty Lee turned to Mai while the noblewoman tapped her elbow in annoyance clearly disliking the attention.
"Oneesan?" Azula sighed while turning from her admirer to gaze at her apathetic subordinate.
For as merciless as she was.
And she was most certainly just that.
She couldn't help but feel strangely pleased by her admirer's desire to live out her life beside her and her friends.
The girl was truly beginning to see her team as her adoptive family.
And strangely…she realized that she was okay with that.
If nothing else. It would ensure that she could depend on either one of them to safeguard Elle should something unforeseen occur.
"What of it? She called me her big sister. She's a kind girl. So, I allowed it." Mai stated with a slight bite to her voice while glaring at both of her friends.
"We're both her big sisters now, Mai!" Ty Lee exclaimed while grasping the other woman's hand as she pumped their fists in the air.
"Joy." Mai mumbled while she sighed as her friend forced her to hold hands with her.
"D-do you like it, Princess?" Elle requested timidly while still averting her eyes from the taller woman's gaze.
Azula was contemplative for a few moments while she studied the shorter girl's cute little face before discreetly glancing around her.
She could practically feel Ty Lee's waiting eyes following her every movement and sure enough Ty Lee was giving a 'what are you waiting for' stare.
After checking to ensure that no one was around…
"It is a fine flower, Elle. I approve of this tribute." Azula announced with the flower carefully clutched in her right hand while Elle gazed up at her with joy that astonished even her.
"Y-you used my name again!" Elle cheered out childishly while Azula glanced down at her in evident amusement.
All the while both of her friends were staring at her back in a chiding manner.
"So, I have. It pleases me that you think of me so often. Had this flower been for someone else I would have had to discipline you." Azula commented strictly while staring down at the submissive girl with imposing amber golden eyes.
"Azula…one doesn't usually threaten discipline after being given a flower…" Ty Lee advised while staring at the regal woman with a smile all the while.
"F-for someone else? I think of no one, but Her Highness." Elle blurted as if horrified at the prospect while her mistress continued to level her with a controlling stare.
"That's what I like to hear. I hereby declare that you are forbidden to give flowers to anyone but myself. This new decree also extends to all other sources of tribute. You…will gift me and me alone." Azula spoke in a voice of absolute authority all the while leveling Elle's little face with a demanding glare.
"Forbidden Azula?" Mai snorted while blinking over in the other woman's direction in genuine puzzlement.
She certainly was becoming possessive of this young girl.
That much was evident.
Those piercing screams still had her shuddering.
To think that Azula had been so furious that she scarred the two bullies just as Ozai did to Zuko.
Not only was the pain surely beyond her wildest imaginations, the affect was quite damning to any hope for a social life.
The girls would always be marked for their disrespect to the Royal Family.
"For Azula-sama only. No one, but my mistress." Elle stated passionately while grasping at Azula's robbed stomach while meeting her domineering gaze.
"Hm. What a good girl you are." Azula purred before reaching down to pat the girl's soft head in a puzzling show of fondness.
"Is it just me, or does Azula think that Elle is a puppy?" Mai pondered while gazing at Ty Lee's sighing face.
"It is not just you." Ty Lee replied yet even so she was still finding their budding bond to be rather adorable.
Perhaps…there was hope for Azula to learn more about people after all.
She was still disturbed by the earlier display of brutality…she felt that it was too much. Even for those cruel girls.
But there was nothing that she could have done to stop Azula.
She had already tried to talk her out of it and Elle tried to convince her to show mercy.
The princess had her mind set on it and that was all that mattered in the end.
"Arigatou gozaimasu, Azula-sama…" Elle murmured shyly while blushing underneath the princess's patting palm.
"What for?" Azula questioned curiously while astutely having already learned that that it was her admirer's way of saying thank you.
"For…standing up for me. No one…has ever done that for me before." Elle admitted quietly while craning her neck to peer into the woman's captivating eyes.
The words took not only Azula aback but both Mai and Ty Lee as well.
It was just baffling to hear that the first person who has ever stuck up for Elle was Azula of all people.
"You don't have to worry about that anymore, little sister. You are our friend now! Your place beside us is secure! Isn't that right, Azula?" Ty Lee assured warmly while stepping up behind Elle as the girl turned to gaze up at her with emotive amber eyes.
Azula gazed over Elle's shoulder to meet Ty Lee's gaze before turning to peer down at her servant once more.
"That is right, Ty Lee. Elle is part of my entourage now. It would be…a waste to let such a loyal servant come to any further harm." Azula stated while withdrawing her hand as it fell back to her side.
Mai listened in amazement from where she stood behind Ty Lee.
Before long all three women were gazing at their younger companion with varying levels of fondness.
"I-I am so grateful…to all three of you." Elle whispered happily while wiping a joyous tear from her bruised eye.
"Aww. We will look out for you. Especially Azula. She really likes you. You are the first person that she has offered to protect." Ty Lee informed while patting the smaller girl's shoulder while the blonde peered up at the callous woman with awed eyes.
The princess simply stood with her arms folded over her breasts while fixing the petite girl with a stern stare in clear disapproval of her tears.
"Cease that crying at once! No more waterworks for today!" Azula barked while pointing a finger down at Elle with the flower clutched underneath her palm.
"What a warm response." Mai commented dully while even she stared at her leader frowning.
If you asked her Azula was way too big of a bitch for such a nice girl but…it's not her place to tell Elle what to feel.
"Yeah! Seriously, Azula! You don't have to be such an ass about it." Ty Lee scolded while frowning over Elle's timid shoulder at her scowling leader.
"I do as I please, Ty Lee. Especially when it comes to my own servant." Azula insisted in a spoiled voice while still glaring at the girl's crying face.
It…irked her in ways that she cannot explain.
"Yes! As you say Azula-sama. I will always do as you say." Elle answered while beaming up at the woman's harsh gaze with rising admiration in her eyes.
"Good. Your adulation pleases me greatly. Now there is no further need for tears. I am more than capable of protecting you. And I will say no more on the matter." Azula stated in a tone of finality while staring down at Elle's rapidly nodding little face.
"Yes, Princess!" Elle cried out while she bowed much to the princess's approval.
"Shorty. You know you don't have to bow before Azula every minute that you spend in her company, right?" Mai spoke while earning a questioning gaze for the teasing nickname from both of her friends.
"Shorty, Mai? Why am I the only one here calling the poor girl by her name?" Ty Lee asked while the two other women just shrugged.
"You may ignore, Mai…and continue with your current behavior." Azula purred while paying her friends chiding gaze's little mind.
"Azula-sama is the boss!" Elle cheered as she straightened while throwing a hand up in her joy.
"Yes, Elle. She certainly is…" Ty Lee trailed off while patting the smaller girl's back with the princess gazing on smugly.
"With that matter out of the way. We can proceed onward with other plans." Azula remarked while still holding the golden flower carefully underneath her curled fingers.
"Other matters?" Mai asked while noticing both of her friends faces indicated that they had planned something without her knowledge.
"Hm. I have decided to reward Elle for her good behavior." Azula began while staring down at the young girl's overjoyed face.
The words came across as a shock to Mai given that this was once more unlike Azula.
She has already granted the girl a place amongst them, a commoner at that.
Neither she nor Ty Lee had any particular bias against people of lower status. But it was well known by all that Azula did.
"A reward Princess…" Elle trailed off in disbelief while the regal woman nodded.
"That's right! We have a surprise for you!" Ty Lee exclaimed while leaning on the petite girl's shoulder with a grin adorning her lips.
"I am so overjoyed. I... finally have a real home…and the princess has even used my name four times now!" Elle cried out while smiling warmly up at Ty Lee while the older girl's eyes softened in response.
Most surprisingly of all was that not even Azula said a word to rebuke Elle's announcement that this was her home.
"Four times?" Mai inquired with a deadpan voice that displayed ever so slight amusement over the fact that the girl was keeping count.
"Mhm! My most frequent names have been servant, pet, peasant, girl, and twice I have been called sheep dog…" Elle chirped naively while both women turned to gaze at the princess's conceited face.
"What are you two gawking at?" Azula demanded with annoyance lacing her voice while she began to scowl ever so slightly.
"Sheep dog, Azula? Sheep dog?" Ty Lee growled out while tapping her shoe angrily at her unsocial leader's glaring face.
"Oh! And once I have been tiger monkey!" Elle exclaimed in a seemingly unbothered voice while counting on her fingertips with the three women glancing down at her.
The princess gave her usual possessive stare and the other two women seemed baffled by the girl's casual disregard of such demeaning treatment.
"I didn't call her a sheep dog. I stated that she smelled like one after playing out in the rain for several weeks." Azula remarked thoughtlessly while giving her friends a questioning glance when they began to scowl at her.
Even Mai's lips curved into a frown.
That was only when that she noticed Elle's shoulders slumped with a hurt look in her eyes.
"I-I smell?" Elle mumbled pitifully while Ty Lee immediately took to rubbing her back while narrowing her eyes at the princess's faintly regretful face.
"Azula! No. No, you don't smell, Elle. Azula is just socially clueless. I am certain that she didn't mean that in the least." Ty Lee cooed while pulling the smaller girl into a hug when it looked like she was about to cry.
"What? You dare call me clueless?!" Azula snapped while stomping forward with her hands at her sides to pry Ty Lee off her little admirer.
"You kind of have to be Azula to be that oblivious. You are even worse than Zuko. Seriously. You don't tell a girl that likes you that she smells." Mai stated with an unusual sternness to her voice while staring at the princess as she glared between her and Ty Lee while striding forward.
"I don't?" Elle asked while gazing up at the two women as they shook their heads speedily.
"No. You don't, Shorty. Ty Lee is right." Mai spoke while folding her hands over her stomach.
She mused that having the innocent girl around was truly like having a little sister.
The notion of having a baby sister was a decidedly pleasant one.
"Don't put words in my mouth! I said that was when she was living on the street…" Azula trailed off while storming towards the blonde's side with her friends staring at her in disbelief.
"Azula. Just stop while you're ahead before you dig too deep of a hole." Mai sighed while rubbing her forehead in annoyance over the other woman's lack of social conduct.
"I'd like to see how you smell after several weeks on the streets. It probably wouldn't be anything like the royal spa." Ty Lee remarked while Azula glared at her icily before rudely pushing her off Elle.
Ty Lee huffed as she stepped aside to allow the princess to attempt to amend her error.
"You both will be silent, or I will strike you both into the ashes of oblivion! And you stay off my pet. Get your own, Ty Lee." Azula hissed while forcefully grasping onto Elle by her shirt collar while the other two exchanged an exasperated glance.
"Azula! How many times do I have to tell you that Elle isn't a pet!" Ty Lee exclaimed in frustration while the princess pulled the girl alongside her.
"Yes, she is. She is my pet. She submitted to my dominance the moment she stepped into my royal carriage. By rights of strength she now belongs to me. I conquered her just as I conquered Ba Sing Se." Azula announced while the petite girl peered up at her with her a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Conquered?" Mai snorted while musing it was best to just ignore the woman's seemingly demented idea of dating.
"A-Azula-sama? I don't…smell, do I?" Elle stammered with a worried look in her eyes while gazing up at the tall woman's stern face.
"No. Of course not. You smell quite fresh." Azula assured while strangely allowing the girl to hold onto her bicep.
The two noblewomen could only stare on humorously over the princess's rather poor attempt at flattery.
'She goes from saying she smells to saying that she doesn't…smooth.' Mai thought while observing the interaction with bored tawny eyes.
Thankfully for Azula, Elle was a kindhearted girl that was rather easy to please.
That was all it took to restore her spirits.
"I do?" Elle asked with rising hope in her voice while Azula nodded sagely while staring down with her entrancing amber golden eyes.
"Like the first day of spring." Azula answered with her lips pursed into a smirk when her pet clutched tightly.
"Oh, Azula-sama…I am so happy to belong to you…." Elle gushed while pressing her face into the princess's toned bicep.
Ty Lee couldn't help but smile even though her leader had just acted like a major ass.
Elle adored Azula so much that she already forgot the foolishly spoken insult.
"It pleases me that you have accepted my rule. Now then let us proceed onward with tonight's plans." Azula declared while turning to face her friends with a return to her callous composure.
"Tonight's plans? What are you two on about?" Mai queried with her brows furrowed as she gazed between the now grinning Ty Lee and Azula's coolly composed face.
"We are all going out for a fun night out in the city!" Ty Lee exclaimed while Mai turned to her with puzzlement in her eyes.
"We are?" Mai repeated with slight interest in her voice before turning to see Elle looking up at Azula in confusion.
"Are you going to help me get back to my quarters first? I don't know my way back to the palace from here." Elle questioned while Azula glanced down at her with strict amber golden eyes.
"No, I will not. You are coming with us. If you can keep it to yourself that is." Azula informed to the girl's surprise.
Even Mai could only blink in genuine shock.
Azula was bringing a commoner out with them into Hari Bulkan?
Though she did suppose that no one really knew that the girl was lowborn besides them.
Given that she was seemingly from…wherever that somewhere was.
"I will never disobey you, Your Highness. I take it that you wish for me to serve at the dinner table tonight?" Elle pondered with an unbothered voice while peering up at the older girl.
As soon as Mai heard that she couldn't help but gaze away in discomfort.
Now that she was getting to know the girl it didn't seem right for her to spend the evening bowing on the floor while they ate.
It would have been kinder just to send her back to the palace.
Now that Elle was calling her and Ty Lee big sister it just felt wrong, very wrong.
"No! You are not coming to serve us, Elle! You are coming to have fun with us!" Ty Lee shouted before the princess could respond.
Knowing Azula's controlling personality she could try to back out of it and she didn't want to give her the chance.
"I am? Is this true, Azula-sama?" Elle inquired with her lips curling into a broad smile as she peered up into the woman's beautiful face.
"It is true. But you had best remain on good behavior or oof! Not again!" Azula attempted to explain only to shout in protest when Elle tackled her stomach.
"Well, color me shocked. The girl gets to spend an evening doing something other than slaving away for Azula." Mai commented in a pleasantly surprised voice while watching in amusement as the regal woman was assaulted via hug.
"Arigatou gozaimasu! Arigatou! Arigatou! Azula-sama!" Elle called out while enveloping her mistress's belly in a tight embrace.
"You…you are welcome, servant, now let me go!" Azula complained while her friends observed with smugly entertained eyes.
"My princess is including me in her circle! I feel so honored!" Elle cheered while Ty Lee watched with a warm smile as she hid in the princess's belly.
Azula made eye contact with Ty Lee while reading her eyes that silently conveyed an obvious message.
I told you it would make her happy.
"If you wish to maintain your position in my circle as our team servant you must…get off me." Azula grunted while gazing around to be certain that no people were passing by the meadow.
"You get her, Elle! Defeat the Conqueror of Ba Sing Se! Take her down with the ultimate hug!" Ty Lee yelled out with a grin as Azula glared back at her with icy eyes that promised great pain.
"I am so excited, Princess! But…what do I wear?" Elle asked in a worried voice while peering up at the woman's much finer clothes.
Azula fell silent for a moment after finally dislodging from the embrace not having considered that.
She held a hand to her chin while wondering if they should go back to the palace first.
Ultimately, she chose it was best not to do so.
In the unlikely event she ran into her father.
"Hey! I have an idea. Why don't we browse the royal market beforehand? You can pick out an outfit! If Azula won't buy it for you. I will!" Ty Lee suggested while striding forward with her fists on her hips.
The princess's eyes snapped upward thoughtfully while also taking Ty Lee's generous offer as a challenge to her control.
"Really? You would do that for me, oneesan?" Elle requested with innocence lacing her voice while Ty Lee stopped before her to beam down at her.
"Aww! When you're that adorable how could I ever say no?" Ty Lee cooed while patting Elle's head with the younger girl blushing over all of the attention she was receiving.
"Absolutely not. I will purchase the outfit." Azula retorted with her arms folded over her breasts as she gazed back at the still smiling Ty Lee.
'Did Azula just get deceived into purchasing her servant a party outfit?' Mai thought while stepping up behind the other girl's as she mused it could be fun.
If you ignore the fact that Azula just burned two girls' not even an hour ago.
"If you say so, Azula…but I might still buy her one myself. She is just too cute. I have to." Ty Lee stated in a sisterly manner while still patting the girl's head.
"I-I don't know what to say." Elle mumbled while peering between her mistress and her big sisters taller forms.
"You don't have to say anything…just continue to be a good girl for me." Azula remarked while greedily swiping the other woman's hand off the girl's head.
Ty Lee huffed while gazing at her with amusement in her eyes all the while the gloomy noblewoman watched in increased puzzlement.
'Is Azula…jealous of other women touching Elle?' Mai pondered while the princess stood over the girl once more.
"Yes, Mistress Azula. As you say." Elle agreed with an adorable nod of her head while Azula peered down at her in stern approval.
"Azula…please stop making her call you mistress." Ty Lee pleaded in an exhausted voice only for her royal friend to pay her no mind.
While the princess began to walk ahead of her companions towards her royal carriage so that they could return up into Hari Bulkan.
"Come along now, Elle. You two as well. We shall go dominate the marketplace into submission." Azula declared with her right fist clenched as she began to grin violently.
"Dominate the marketplace, Azula?" Ty Lee sighed before smiling when she noticed that the princess had the flower tucked beneath her sash.
It was just barely noticeable around the princess's waistline while the younger girl continued to follow after her with her backpack slung on her shoulders.
"Azula-sama? I have a question that I have been pondering for some time." Elle asked while chewing on her lip as she gazed up at the much taller princess.
Ty Lee and Mai stared at the girl curiously while the princess seemed to swell in pride that the girl chose to ask her instead of them.
"Then ask me. My wisdom is as vast as is my merciful heart. Since I have taking a liking to you…you are in a most fortunate position to benefit from the fruits of my genius." Azula announced with seemingly endless hubris while waving a hand before her smiling all the while.
"Please. I think your head is getting too big for your shoulders." Mai snorted while striding behind Elle as she gazed down at the girl with a mild fondness in her gaze.
Naturally, the spoiled woman ignored any and all remarks that put her flawless nature into question.
Elle continued to hold a finger to her lip unaware that two of the three women were mulling over how adorable they thought she was.
"What is a rug muncher, Azula-sama?" Elle blurted out with little warning while staring up at Azula when the princess nearly fell over in surprise.
Azula wasn't the only one to be taken aback by the innocent query.
Even Mai almost tripped on Elle's heels while she gazed down at the girl with widened tawny eyes.
How could she really not know what that meant!
Even sweet Ty Lee paused in her step while glancing down at Elle with redness on her cheeks all the while musing that it was mind boggling how she as this pure.
"Eh…well, Azula?" Ty Lee began nervously while turning to the princess's comically baffled face.
"How…can you be interested in another girl, and not know what that means?" Azula responded in a tone of complete disbelief while gazing down at the puzzled girl with astonishment in her eyes.
She just couldn't believe that Elle truly didn't know that it inferred to oral sex between two girls.
"Like I said. Felix removed me from school several years ago…and forced me to stay indoors for many years. My parents died long ago…that left me with only Felix…so…I am a bit behind in my education." Elle muttered with evident shame in her voice as she averted her eyes after concluding it was something she ought to know.
The explanation once more caused all three women to gaze down at the girl in disgust to hear that the girl's brother was that demented.
Azula of course only cared because she had grown fond of Elle.
Whereas the other two were just…all around more compassionate than her.
"What a-" Ty Lee hissed furiously only to fall silent under the princess's piercing death glare.
Sweat dripped down her brow as she was once more reminded just how terrifying Azula could be.
And so, she wisely shut her mouth.
"I see. I was aware of the fact…just not that it was this extensive." Azula commented while rubbing at her nose for once uncertain of how to respond.
"S-sumimasen. I probably sound pretty stupid. Those girls were right." Elle stated in a tone of low self confidence while padding along glumly.
The three highborn women exchanged looks with one another while Azula sighed heavily in the palm of her hand.
"Hey! Don't talk like that, little sister! You are not stupid. Not in the least. Those girls were just…" Ty Lee trailed off while an involuntary shiver trailed down her spine at the vivid recollection of their screams.
Judging by the grimace on Mai's face the other woman was well aware of what occurred.
"Ty Lee is correct. Your…writing is proof of that. You are just…naïve. Which simply means that you need someone capable to enlighten you." Azula announced while turning to peer down at her admirer with stern amber golden eyes.
The princess's words took her friends by surprise while they both gazed at her in silence.
"Oh! You're so brilliant, Azula-sama. Will you enlighten me?" Elle pondered with hope in her voice while the woman strode ahead with her pride returning in full force.
"Indeed, I am brilliant…sometimes I surprise even myself. Just what sort of enlightenment do you seek from me? I excel in all areas. Simply pick one, and I will surely be able to assist you." Azula offered while scanning her fingernails with her friends gazing on in even further disbelief.
Did Azula just offer to school a servant girl?
"That is a marvelous idea, Azula! Elle is a Fire Nation citizen now. She can go to school here!" Ty Lee shouted triumphantly while the gloomy noblewoman turned to her in surprise.
Then Mai turned to Azula as she noted the uncertain gleam in the woman's selfish amber golden eyes.
'Figures. She is probably worried that Elle will lose interest in her if she is around other people. She is so selfish.' Mai thought while she found herself frowning over the matter.
No doubt Azula meant that she would fill Elle in here and there.
"School? What sort of school teacher knows even a fraction of my genius?" Azula sneered while Elle peered up at her with blinding awe in her eyes.
"Will you school me, Azula-sama?" Elle asked innocently while gazing up at her mistress's divine face while the woman smirked in such a captivating manner.
"Azula…you could just let her go to an actual school. Do you even have the time to educate her to the proper capacity that she needs? I think Elle wants to be up to be speed in all areas. Not just one." Ty Lee explained while turning to her leader's smug visage.
"Hush, Ty Lee. Yes, Elle. I told you that I would take you under my tutelage. I suppose that means that this is my responsibility. I will school your little mind." Azula declared while turning to gaze down at the joyous girl's adorable face.
If she was truly taking a romantic interest in this girl…it wouldn't do to let her possible girlfriend remain in a state of permanent limbo now would it?
"Arigatou gozaimasu, Mistress Azula!" Elle answered happily as she halted to bow at the waist before the tall woman's pleased countenance.
"I warn you though. I will be a strict teacher…." Azula trailed off while glancing down at her pet's young face with a lovely smirk on her crimson lips.
"I have complete faith and trust in my princess. I know you would never steer me wrong!" Elle exclaimed while she rose from her bow just when Azula patted her shoulder fondly.
The other two women weren't so certain but it would be unwise to voice as such aloud.
"Now that is devotion." Azula stated while wagging her finger for her pet to follow with a controlling gleam in her eyes.
"So…what does it mean?" Elle asked once more in a bashful voice while gazing up at the older girl to notice her posture tensing once more.
"Oh, boy. I can't wait to hear this." Mai spoke with a hand over her mouth while Azula eyed her icily.
"Shut up, Mai. You see, Elle…rug munching is an analogy for…how dare you laugh at me! I will destroy the both of you!" Azula bellowed as she rounded on her snickering friends with a twinge of redness on her cheeks.
"I don't get it, Azula-sama. Who eats rugs? I don't eat rugs. They aren't edible." Elle chimed while grasping at her straps while Azula groaned in frustration.
"You are just too precious, little sister." Ty Lee cooed with a blush still adorning her cheeks as she ruffled the girl's hair.
"A-arigatou oneesan, Ty Lee." Elle muttered while Ty Lee smiled at her all the while gushing over her much to her pleasure.
She decided that she liked being the youngest of the group.
She truly felt like Azula-sama and her big sisters would look out for her no matter what.
"Ugh. If Azula won't answer then I will. It seems that it has fallen upon me to be the informative big sister." Mai announced while gazing down at the girl with composed tawny eyes.
"Mai. I am warning you…" Azula trailed off dangerously while Ty Lee turned away blushing even deeper.
"Please tell me, oneesan. I really want to know." Elle asked queried while glancing up at Mai's apathetic face.
"I will strike you with lightning if you so much as speak another word." Azula hissed while glaring over in the other woman's direction.
As strangely as it was. She found her admirer's childlike innocence to be rather endearing.
And she was suddenly finding that she was becoming curiously protective of the younger girl.
"Alright. Here is your answer. It is a crude analogy for sexual conduct between two women. Basically, it is when one girl eats out another girl's…womanhood. And I am quite certain that it is something that you would enjoy doing with Azula." Mai answered at long last with her arms folded over her chest while gazing off to the side just as an uncomfortable silence overtook them.
Ty Lee was now as red as a tomato while she glanced down at Elle's adorably thoughtful face.
Elle was holding a hand to her chin as if processing the explanation.
While Azula now gazed over at Mai's unbothered face with a truly horrifying glare.
Amber golden eyes that were so callous that it was a wonder that the noblewoman didn't burst into flames on the spot.
"What? She is interested in girls. So, I answered. Would you rather she remains ignorant?" Mai questioned while gazing at her leader's oddly angered face.
"I…still don't understand. That makes even less sense than before. Why…would I want to eat Azula-sama? I am not a cannibal. I wouldn't eat my princess even if I was starving. How is eating people a sexual pastime?" Elle inquired while turning to gaze up at the three women's reddened faces.
At this point they stood in the street with silence so thick that one could have heard crickets chirping.
Mai slapped her forehead in disbelief as she groaned beneath her palm while Azula stood marveling over the girl's naivety.
"Elle…don't worry your little mind over it. I will educate you at your own pace." Azula sighed while rubbing the bridge of her nose as she strolled ahead of her pet.
As comical as it was, she found that she was somewhat pleased to know that Elle's love was this pure.
The girl didn't adore her just because she was the most beautiful girl there was…or just for her limitless power.
No…now she understood that it ran much deeper than that.
"Yes, Azula-sama! As you say. Always as you say. Please know that I would never cannibalize you. I would rather die of starvation." Elle informed in a voice so grave that Azula was now staring down at her with returning amusement in her eyes.
"I will keep that in mind if we are ever trapped on a deserted island." Azula spoke dryly while folding her arms over her breasts once more.
"That is so sweet, Azula. She wouldn't eat you even if she was starving. Most of the servants probably wouldn't even hesitate." Ty Lee commented with her hands on her hips smiling widely all the wide as her blush finally began to die down.
There was a snort of comical agreement from Mai while the princess stared back at her with irate amber golden eyes.
"Shut up, Ty Lee." Azula replied in a grumpy voice while the smaller girl smiled up at her.
"It is okay, Azula-sama. If you couldn't move, I would protect you with my life." Elle announced while puffing out her developing chest with undying loyalty in her young eyes.
"Aww, Azula. Elle would shield you. That is just too lovable." Ty Lee cooed while the princess stared down at the girl with humorous doubt in her eyes.
"As sweet as that is…let's hope that it never comes down to that." Azula answered while sighing once more as she inwardly mused that the girl was making her go soft.
One hour later.
After the four had rode in the royal carriage back up the secured road into Hari Bulkan.
The group now finally strode into the royal marketplace through Hari Bulkan.
While the eyes of many people in shop stalls and stores were automatically drawn to Azula's callous countenance.
The very sight of their imposing princess entering the marketplace was a silent warning to all commoners working in the shops to be on their absolute best behavior.
Displeasing Princess Azula was possibly even more terrifying than angering Fire Lord Ozai.
Especially, since commoners were only allowed to stop foot into the prestigious city if they were in possession of a royal work permit.
To the amusement of the three highborn women.
They soon watched as Elle's eyes began to sparkle while she gazed about at the wide variety of shops.
All the while Azula strode authoritatively beside her younger companion with her stern eyes following Elle's wandering gaze.
This was the perfect chance for her to establish her position of prime candidacy once and for all in her lovely admirer's little mind!
"Azula…you should buy her something…" Ty Lee whispered into the woman's ear while Azula watched Elle wander ahead in her rising excitement.
Mai began to silently follow after Elle while the other two women lingered behind.
The princess tilted her head while her friend continued to whisper in her ear.
Her eyes followed Elle she strode with her hands behind her back all the while pondering what to buy her admirer.
"Like what?" Azula asked while frowning as she began to realize she knew very little about the girl other than that she enjoyed painting and writing.
"Let's just scout out where she goes and see." Ty Lee replied quietly while the small blonde bounced through the streets gazing around with childish amazement in her eyes.
"See something of interest, Shorty?" Mai asked questioned in her typical tone while standing over Elle as the girl marveled at everything around her.
Though she hated to admit it. It was indeed adorable.
"There is so much here! It is even more beautiful than the city by the harbor! I have never been down into Hari Bulkan until now. I sure am glad that you three are here with me though. Because when I explored Harbor City, the city guards were calling me a street rat, and telling me to get lost." Elle exclaimed in an innocent voice as she trotted along beside the three highborn women.
While Mai glanced down at the girl with a slight hint of pity in her cold eyes over the cruel treatment that she endured.
While Ty Lee frowned only to find herself shivering in familiar fear when Azula's amber golden eyes formed a piercing stare.
"Oh really? Did they now?" Azula inquired in a near emotionless voice while her amber golden eyes glanced around the royal marketplace.
While her eyes and ears were peeled as she already took notice that one or two people in the market were starting at the girl oddly.
As she began to realize that while it wouldn't have phased her one week prior.
Now that she was developing a fondness for the girl it displeased her.
It would not do for her to allow the mockery of her potential girlfriend.
"Just what are you staring at, commoner?" Azula demanded in a glacial voice as her companions turned to her warily after she halted to direct a penetrating stare at a man in a nearby shop.
Ty Lee sighed with a hand over her face when her gaze drifted to her friend now causing an older man at a spice store to cower in terror.
"N-nothing Y-Your Highness!" The vendor cried out while he was already kowtowing on the ground with the woman's amber golden eyes piercing his soul.
"You had best keep it that way or I will see you banished from the Capital." Azula snapped while striding onward with her moody eyes drifting about as she followed the girl's bouncing form.
'Wow! It's really sweet watching Azula act so…protective. I know she has a tendency to act cold to Elle, but I can tell she has taken a liking to her.' Ty Lee thought while finally noting that the girl stopped to a store through the shop window.
It was none other than a candy store.
Given Elle's childlike personality it came across as no shock to Ty Lee.
She turned to nudge Azula's shoulder while the stern woman continued to walk after Elle and Mai.
And soon afterward the four girls entered through the door of the shop while Elle gazed all around the vast store in awe.
"Ooh! There is so much here!" Elle cried out while Mai peered down at her in amusement.
"I presume that you like candy…" Mai trailed off while keeping a close eye on the girl just as Azula strolled up behind them.
"Is there something that you see of interest?" Azula inquired while she loomed over Elle's browsing face with her palms clasped behind her back.
All the while gazing down at the younger girl with her strict eyes just barely showing her fondness for the smaller girl.
To the other shoppers it appeared as if the princess was about to terrorize her.
But of course, Team Azula knew better.
"I…am permitted to have a candy?" Elle responded while peering shyly up at her mistress's amused countenance.
"Aww!" Ty Lee gushed while the gloomy noblewoman turned to her sighing in mild annoyance over her continued fawning over their new friend.
"I suppose I could allow it. You are a well-behaved girl. Pick whatever you like." Azula purred while she leaned over the younger girl with a charming aura about her that had her spellbound.
"Your Highness, may I have a maple praline?" Elle requested as she bowed her head before the princess in reverence.
It was quite obvious that Azula greatly approved of Elle's courteous nature.
Even when simply requesting for a single candy she bowed her head before the princess.
The owner of the stall was also kowtowing on the ground before the princess all the while her eyes were drifting about over the princess's odd choice of companion.
"Hm. Good girl. One maple praline." Azula announced sternly while removing several coins from her pouch all the while savoring her young servant's growing excitement.
The coins dropped on the counter while the three women watched with varying levels of amusement as the girl was handed the treat with joy shimmering in her amber eyes.
"A-arigatou gozaimasu, Azula-sama…" Elle spoke with a warm smile on her lips as she bowed before the gratified woman once more.
"You really should reduce the bowing, Elle." Mai stated while folding her arms as she gazed down at the happy girl just as she arose from her bow.
"Quiet, Mai. Courtesy is in her nature, and that is a trait that I approve of. You would do well to remember that I am her mistress. Not you." Azula remarked from where she stood with her lips curved into a smile as she peered down at her pet.
Mai said nothing in response deciding that there was no point arguing with Azula.
It just baffled her that Azula thought that dating and subjugation were one and the same.
"I am so fortunate to serve, Azula-sama." Elle stated with a wide smile on her lips before biting into her treat beaming all the while as they exited the shop.
Azula continued to stride beside the petite girl all the while staring at her calmly with a satisfied countenance.
"At least someone recognizes how great of an honor it is to serve me." Azula commented while Ty Lee continued to grin down at their young companion.
"The whole world should serve, Azula-sama. Because she is so wonderful." Elle chimed while nibbling on her candy while the princess's lips curved upward in increased conceit.
"Why did you have to say that, little sister?" Ty Lee sighed while turning to Azula to see that she took the innocent remark as a challenge to conquer the world.
An inferno was already brewing in Azula's eyes that had her friends excluding Elle growing increasingly wary.
"Great. Just what we needed." Mai muttered while Elle peered up at them in slight puzzlement.
"I see. So, you wish to see me conquer the world?" Azula remarked with her hands on her hips while turning to peer down at her adorable admirer.
Ty Lee and Mai could only sigh despite finding the princess's posturing to be a somewhat pleasant change of pace.
Though her ego had surely soared through the proverbial palace roof.
At least Azula was being a little bit nicer.
Even if it was only to one girl…
"Huh?" Elle responded after swallowing a mouthful of candy while her two adoptive big sisters stared on comically.
That was proof enough that the girl just said whatever came to mind to please Azula.
"Do you wish to see your princess dominate the entire world into submission?" Azula demanded in an icy voice while staring down at the girl with a stare that would make most men piss their pants.
"Azula…I think you're taking this a little too far." Ty Lee stated only for her words to soar over the arrogant woman's head.
"Oh! I really want to see you in action, Azula-sama! Will you show more of your bending?" Elle questioned while turning to gaze up at the strict woman with worshipful eyes.
"Hm. You desire to see my bending? Then I shall show it to you. Today I will give you just a small taste. When I kill the Avatar, and crush the rebels underfoot then…you will get your wish. I will dominate this world!" Azula announced with her hands afire at her sides with her crimson lips forming a conceited grin.
The blue fire lit the street while Elle peered up at Azula with awe in her young eyes.
Mai watched in deadpan as people in the royal market began to hurry away in fright in every which way.
"Azula…you are terrifying people." Ty Lee informed while Azula gazed down at Elle with possessive amber golden eyes while waving her words off.
"Wow! That is amazing, Azula-sama! You're so good at domination! I could listen to you talk about it all day." Elle exclaimed while gazing up at the woman's smiling face unaware of the impact that her words had on her mistress.
"Shorty do you have any common sense? Why would you tell her that?" Mai asked while she stood alongside the gradually concerned Ty Lee.
They could tell that the girl's ill thought words had inspired the princess to dominate the girl even further.
"So…you find my control appealing?" Azula purred with her words causing her two friends to shiver in pity for the naïve girl peering up at her.
"Now, Azula, I really don't think that is what she meant…" Ty Lee trailed off only to sigh once more.
Elle got her too riled to listen.
"Y-you are so strong, Princess…I feel so safe around you…" Elle mumbled while staring up at the princess's flame lit visage.
"Marvelous! So, you desire a powerful leader to protect you? Perhaps we do make a good mix after all." Azula called out while waving a hand in the air smiling all the while.
"W-well, I've always dreamed of h-having a princess charming…" Elle confessed as she began to twiddle with her thumbs while the older girl hummed curiously.
"Azula? Princess charming? Yeah. And I'm pink." Mai stated in a dull voice while Ty Lee giggled beside her.
"Princess charming? There is no princess as charming or powerful as me." Azula declared in a frighteningly confident voice.
"D-does that mean that y-you'll be my princess charming?" Elle pondered timidly while still averting her eyes from the princess's towering form.
"Very well, little servant. I will be your princess charming, and I shall give you the control that you so dearly crave." Azula declared while pointing down at Elle with her eyes narrowed all the while the petite girl blushed from ear to ear.
All along the two other women gazed at her clearly thinking that she just may have gone mad.
"But, Azula, you already control her." Ty Lee stated while Mai shook her head in annoyance.
"Don't even bother." Mai scoffed as she turned around curiously to see the princess gesturing for the girl to follow her.
"O-oh, Azula-sama…my princess charming…" Elle trailed off in a dreamy voice just as she began to follow the princess through the streets.
"Azula! Where are you taking her!" Ty Lee exclaimed while she ran a hand through her hair as they sped up to follow their controlling princess.
"Come, my pet. Let's go to the weapons shop." Azula spoke much to her friends' fright as she strode with the love-struck girl following alongside her.
"Poor girl. I'm glad I'm not her." Mai stated wryly while Ty Lee winced while nodding in agreement.
They were beginning to fear that Azula would cage the poor girl if Elle were to ever decide that she was interested in someone else!
They watched the two vanish ahead of them only hearing the girl call out to the princess with another meek reply.
"Y-yes, Azula-sama." Elle agreed in a timid voice as she gazed up at the princess in awe while she admired her peak physique.
And with that Azula led Elle out of sight with her behavior clearly taking on an even more controlling turn.
And in her mind.
She was beginning to realize that she just may have found the perfect romantic partner for her.
She was lovely.
Just young enough for her.
Petite to her liking.
Submissive.
Enthusiastic to please.
And to top it all off the girl even enjoyed her controlling personality.
Elle was indeed a splendid little find.
