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.

At some point- though it doesn't have to be now, I suppose- I'd like to attempt to explain some things. And get some explanations as well, possibly.

[locked]
Explain things...like what?
no subject
{LOCKED}
Just, ah... things.
no subject
[locked]
...What kind of things?
no subject
{LOCKED}
...
...
I'll tell you when we discuss them.
no subject
[locked]
That isn't helpful, Azula.
no subject
{LOCKED}
... I don't see why you need to know until then.
no subject
[locked]
Oh, it's a secret!
no subject
{LOCKED}
... Sure, Ty Lee. It's a secret.
no subject
[locked]
Oh, I like secrets!
no subject
I suppose you can help. I'm certainly going to avoid as much of the process as possible.
{LOCKED}
... Just let me know whenever you're ready to discuss it.
no subject
It'll be so much fun!
[locked]
I'm ready now!
no subject
...
Would it bother you I were "marrying for love", so to speak?
{LOCKED}
... Ah. You are?
no subject
...
Maybe.
[locked]
Sure am, Azula!
no subject
May I inquire as to why?
{LOCKED}
Hm.
I didn't know you would agree to talk right away. I was expecting more time to... prepare my words.
no subject
[locked]
Well, what is it?
no subject
{LOCKED}
Be patient; I'm gathering my thoughts.
...
...
I realize that I'm not a nice person. I don't want to be a nice person. "Nice" is counterproductive. But really, most of the time I do try to be nice to you, Ty Lee- I'm just not very good at it, that's all. And-
... Tsk. This is ridiculous. I had an entire mental list of things that I wanted to say, but now I can't really recall any of them.
no subject
[locked]
You're trying to say that you're trying to be nice to me but aren't good at it?
no subject
{LOCKED}
That was... one of the things that I was going to say, yes.
...
This is probably stupid.
no subject
[locked]
...It's not stupid.
It's better knowing that.
no subject
... It's true. Really.{LOCKED}
... It is?
Hm.
...
There were some other things that I had to say, but I suppose they can wait.
no subject
...I'm glad.[locked]
Of course!
I guess I'll wait.
no subject
You've always been my favorite.{LOCKED}
... Naturally, I could say them now. It really doesn't matter either way, I suppose.
no subject
I'm so glad, Azula.[locked]
Just say them when you're ready to.
no subject
You are?{LOCKED}
I think perhaps I'll wait for another time.
...
... Thank you.
