My fifteenth birthday is in two days' time- and I must say, I'm not exactly looking forward to it. While I, of course, have no objections to parties and events being held in my honor, Father will undoubtedly spend the majority of the time attempting to introduce me to eligible young men- despite my repeated insistence that I have no interest in the entire dating process. Naturally, I will require that any match decided upon be approved by me, but beyond that I don't want any part in it. It just seems so... frivolous. Pointless. And yes, Ty Lee, I know you claim that it's "fun"- I don't care. I think it's silly- and not because I "can't get a date", to those smart-mouths who would suggest such a thing. I can assure you, there are innumerable men who would do anything for the chance to wed the princess of the Fire Nation.

{LOCKED TO MAI AND TY LEE}

Mai. Ty Lee. I need to speak to each of you in turn.

If you're so sure...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course I am. You're not of the Fire Nation; what would you know about our customs and traditions?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Anything, that's why I was asking. Sine you said you're ok with it and don't have any doubts, it's fine with me.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't need your blessing.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I didn't said that I was going to bless you, didn't I?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You know what I meant. I don't need your acceptance.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Still, I wasn't talking about giving you or not my acceptance. You're not my problem or my friend, you can do whatever you want.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes. I can.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

So?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So, that's it. I don't need you to "not have a problem" with the idea.

You may go now.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

No, I mean, why not marry the person that you really want?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't want to marry anybody in particular.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Then why to choose a future husband now?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because I'll need to get married eventually, and now is the best time to do it.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

The best time...why?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Haven't I already explained this?

Because it's good to get it out of the way ahead of time, so that the final decision isn't rushed.
