{VIDEO} she'll totally use this shit to her advantage if she's ever ousted again

[Heeeeeere's Azula sitting in a nondescript, unidenifiable (THAT THAT, JOKER) hotel room, fiddling around with what looks a bit like some sort of video camera]

[Suddenly, an image pops up on its screen-- it's the Fire Nation throne room, which is pretty quiet and empty at the moment]

[Azula's lips twitch upward slightly; JUST AS PLANNED]

Oh?

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

I want you and I to finally set a date for me start teaching you Nen.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

As do I-- but I can't start right now. I'm busy.

[busy hanging out in a hotel room MM-HM AWWW YEAH]

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

I didn't say right now. I said I want a date. Clear some time so I can get the barest basics out of the way, and then once we've assessed the situation, we can work out your pace, work it around your schedule and finally, I'll know if I can teach and you'll know if you can learn.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I can learn.

I can't give you a date yet because I don't know how things are going to go.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Then I suggest you find out. You've got a country under your rule. Pick a day, go there, and it's your day.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not about my country! The Fire Nation is stable. The Fire Nation is always stable.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Then why do you have to worry about not knowing how things will go?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Other things are going on.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

And they are your concern why?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's none of your business.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Probably not, no.

But, I think that if you're having to set up a machine to tell you when you need to return, that's a warning sign.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

A warning sign of what?

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Isn't it obvious?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I am NOT neglecting my duties. The fact that I'm monitoring my country even when I'm on another world is proof of that.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

It's proof it's your secondary priority.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No it isn't.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Then why are you watching it on a screen instead of being there yourself?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because no one is there all the time!

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

And if the one time you're not there and your camera isn't working, happens to be the same time someone needs you-

You'll just say that no one is there all the time.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

When they need me I'll come! I WON'T fail!

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

That's a problem. 'When they need me.'

You're their ruler. They always need you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Which is why I'm always watching, and why I'm there every day.
