[The feed cuts in to show Azula sitting on her throne, clearly waiting for something; then two soldiers enter the room and bow, and one of them speaks]

Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have some grave news.

[Azula frowns]

Is it the Avatar?

... No, Fire Lord. It has to do with your lost allies, the soldiers Mai and Ty Lee.

[Azula freezes, and her face goes completely blank]

Go on.

We believe... we believe that we may have found their remains.

Why not? They're mine!

You are too irrational to be in my lab at the time of my examination. You will only be a distraction at best and there will be no progress.

These remains do not belong to you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I am not irrational.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

Your italics are more than enough indication that you are. I will contact you if I need anything.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You don't understand.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

You are right, I do not understand, but for the sake of my work I do not wish to.

I can be rational, and I won't disrupt anything. But I'm coming.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

If you do not agree to my terms I will not identify the remains. My lab is no place for an adolescent to be loitering around.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I won't be loitering, and I'm not just any adolescent. I'm the ruler of a country, and I am perfectly capable of controlling myself.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

When you find another forensic anthropologist that will take your title into consider, be sure to inform me. However, they will all tell you that I am the best in my field. Either you allow to me to work with the remains alone or you do not get an identification.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I thought you said you needed help. You need someone to tell you about them.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

You will be providing that data when you deliver the bodies.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I can't give it all at once; there's a lot to tell, and it makes more sense to say it during the investigation.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

Then I will present my findings to you and you can draw a conclusion from the facts. However, considering your ability in deductive reasoning, I suggest a third party evaluation.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I have excellent deductive reasoning.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

I believe that you are stalling in sending me the remains.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not sending you anything unless I come.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

We are at an impasse. Though, logically you should compromise.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Compromise how?

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

I have stated my stipulations. Currently, I have over a hundred remains that I need to identify and by taking on your remains I have an opportunity cost of making a historical identification.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you don't want compromise, you just want me to give in.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

I stated for you to compromise, not the other way around. If you care about these people, you will let me identify them.
