You're all fools. I can't imagine why any of you actually believed me.

OOC: For anyone wondering about the icon choice- I'm not going to have her get completely irrational and paranoid the way she did in the finale (think "The Southern Raiders" instead). But if you check the icon keywords... yeah. She is "slipping" a little bit. She recognizes that and wants to prevent it from getting any worse... so since a mind-wipe didn't work the first time around, she's totes going with suppression and self-delusion. DX

Nothing. I've pretty much said my piece last night.

...

You know what, I'm not sure I believe you this time around.

What are you talking about? Nothing's changed since last night.

Except that you seem to have exited the anger stage and entered the denial one.

I have no reason to be angry. Her constant attempts at manipulation mean nothing.

Now you're just lying to yourself.

You believed me before. Why the sudden change of heart?

I'm telling the truth. You would do better to realize that.

Because you're going to great lengths to make sure people believe you. It's reminiscent of what you did during the denial stage of things.

I'm not; I don't know where you're getting that idea. Whether you believe me or not is of no consequence to me.

... Azula, this isn't healthy.

You'd prefer it if I continued to use her, and allowed her to try to use me?

No, I'd prefer if you get it through your incredibly thick head that maybe just maybe you should stop lying to yourself.

So you'd like it better if I actually cared about her? You're a bit of a sadist, aren't you.

How does that make me a sadist?

If I actually cared about her, this entire situation would be unbelievably painful, wouldn't it?

... fights are a part of any normal relationship, Azula.

Of course. But using people isn't.

But there isn't any manipulation going on here. At least, not outside of your own head.

She's admitted to it.

And I can bet you she didn't mean it! And I bet that's why you're claiming to have used her too, isn't it?!

Of course she meant it. It wasn't just an off-hand comment that she made in anger, and her actions lined up with it perfectly. She meant it.

I'm admitting to having used her because I'm sick and tired of pretending. It gets tiring after a while.

You're lying. You're still upset.

I'm not upset. I have nothing to be upset about.

You know, it's perfectly okay to be upset when you fight with someone close to you.
