{VIDEO POST/ACTIONSPAM OPPORTUNITY}

[bentflame]

[This video post begins in a fairly unusual way: it showcases Azula, hanging over the edge of the ship]

[She's on one of the main decks, and holding onto the railing with one hand-- and yes, Larsa, she is subtly teasing you with this]

[When she speaks, her voice is perfectly calm and even, as if she were doing nothing out of the ordinary or potentially dangerous]

This is our fourth day here, and if this virus is going to follow the timeline of others in the past, it may very well be our last.

I like it here. I wouldn't mind staying longer.

Strength training.

[well, if he's going to be the adult in the situation. Cross throws a leg over the railing to join her and hang off the side of the boat.]

I don't think you're doing it right.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

[switches hands]

I most certainly am.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

[Cross hooks both his legs on the side of the boat before dropping himself down and hanging down off the front of the boat.]

This is more like it, if you want to do it right.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

[does the same, just to prove she can]

There's no right and wrong. I want my arms to be strong, too.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Holding out like this doesn't help your upper body strength. [He does a pseudo sit up so that his hair doesn't get sea water. Don't ask how he got it to stay in a bun without anything pinning it.]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It makes your arms stronger.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Nah, it just tires one set of muscles out. If you wanted to make your arms stronger, you would have exercised both groups. [Another sit up and he grabs the railings and lets his feet go and dangle.] Pull yourself up and then lower yourself.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Muscles get tired during exercise, and just because I'm focusing on one thing now doesn't mean I neglect the others. Don't try to educate me on things I've been learning since I was two.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Don't try and tell me things that I've known since before you were born. Your muscles will be uneven.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not if I exercise them all, which I do-- just not at the same time.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

It's just silly not to exercise the pairs.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's silly not to give each muscle group individual attention.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that Lisa didn't tell you about muscle groups.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I already know about muscle groups.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Did you know that with every action you do, two muscles are working? Hold one in one position for too long, you lose flexibility?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then it's a good thing I don't do it for too long.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Not my body, who am I to argue.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'll bet I'm stronger than you.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

... You do realize that I was a general for a really, really long time, right?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You do realize that I'm the best on my world?

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

That doesn't change the fact that I'm bigger than you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean stronger.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

In my case, it does.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You don't know that; you're just cocky.
