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

I don't need your help. [Fire blast.] Nor do I want it.

[Counters it with a burst of flame from his sword]

Ensenga!

Azula, just listen to me.

"No."

"Why are you being so damned obstinate?"

"You have nothing to say that I am interested in hearing."

"You can't simply burn me away so easily, so you won't have much choice in the matter, Princess."

"I can ignore you." She went over to her desk and sat down, taking out some papers.

"Oh ho?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow and leaning against the table, "So explain it a bit more. What did Ty Lee do that makes you doubt her friendship?"

Azula was good at tuning people out- after all, she had been doing it all her life. She gave no indication of having heard him; instead, she directed all of her attention to the reports on her desk.

OOC: Johnny! :O Are you a shapeshifter, too?

Johnny quickly darted a hand in, as an attempt to pick up her papers and look them over.

"What have we here, hm?"

{OOC: DOH! Pay not attention to that man behind the curtain! That's an account from another comm.}

She smacked his hand away. "War reports. Now, leave me alone."

OOC: I don't know, I think he's just a shapeshifter. :|

"If your war is going so well, looking over those a little later won't be a big deal. You can handle it later."

"I told you, I'm not going to talk to you."

He sighs deeply for a moment, then strolls behind her for a moment, before ducking low and grabbing the base of the chair, hoisting it onto a shoulder.

"I beg to differ."

Azula stifled a gasp of surprise, then easily slipped out of it.

"No. I will not pander to you by playing your childish games." She snatched up the papers and went to go sit on her bed.

OOC: ... And I just now realized that I kind of changed this comment log from action tags to prose. Is that all right with you? I'm fine with either; I'm just used to prose so I instinctively started writing my comments that way, haha.

"Hey, hey! Johnny is naturally young at heart! Games are one of the things he is best at. Besides, I'm only going to keep bothering you until you accept defeat."

He crossed his arms and couldn't resist a small laugh.

"Or perhaps a kiss would take your mind off things more than a fight?"

[OOC: XD it's fine. I actually prefer 3rd person prose for people in the same room and scenes. I just usually make a separate log for it, that leaves off from where they talked. This is totally fine.]

"I don't accept defeat. And I don't kiss people." That wasn't strictly true; she had kissed people in the past (not for romantic reasons, of course; it was always a power play)- but she saw no reason to do so now. Unless...

Of the handful of people that she had kissed over the course of her life, one of them had been Ty Lee. Given this, it was possible that one could consider it logical to say that she had done so because she cared about Ty Lee- and that just wasn't true, of course. But she needed a logical argument to prove it. And what better argument than to kiss someone else, here and now? A kiss was nothing special, especially from Ty Lee- she knew that. So why not prove it?

Hm. She would certainly consider it.

OOC: Oh, okay. I prefer prose, too, so it's all good. <3

"Why? Humans shouldn't shun contact, Azula. Even close friends can kiss. Much like embracing another, it's a sign of closeness or openness. Sometimes not even that, it's a greeting in some nations."

He removed his hat and put his sunglasses away, pulling a chair over by her bed to sit on.

"And you don't accept defeat, even if you are defeated. That's denial. Something you seem good at."

She deftly ignored the first part of his words, still perusing the documents. "You haven't defeated me."

He watched her in her work for a moment, then a small smirk crawled over his mouth.

"This is the first time we've really had one-on-one time, of course I haven't," he shrugged, "I'm not going to press the attack against the weaker sex, naturally. It would simply be rude. Of course, there are numerous ways to claim a victory."

Azula huffed just slightly at his comment about "the weaker sex"- honestly, the vast number of off-world people who made the assumption that she was weak was simply mind-boggling- but said nothing. She was already slipping into a mode of intense concentration- focusing solely on the papers in front of her, and tuning out his voice entirely. Of course, she would snap out of it instantly if he raised his voice significantly or made any sudden movements. No one could say that she wasn't alert at all times.

He made a move to snatch her paper again, dashing toward the bed.

She shot a fireblast at him, not bothering to look up.

Johnny rolled to side, catching the bedpost with his arm and swinging completely around it, to land on her bed feet first with another grab for the papers.

"It's not quite so easy, my lady!"

Oh, he was irritating. Azula kept the papers out of his grasp, and gave him a sharp shove- though she wasn't sure how much it would do; she had to admit that he was most likely stronger than she was.
