{VIDEO POST}

[Azula's sitting out on the hotel suite's balcony, enjoying the night air and looking contemplative]

[she's fingering a necklace-- a simple gold chain-- that some might recognize as one that she always wears under her clothing, and in her hand is a hand-held tape recorder]

[she presses the "play" button, and her own tinny-sounding voice comes out of the little speakers:]

Say something.

hotpinkaura follows:]

"Okay... hi, little machine thing. ... Okay, that just sounded stupid. Is that enough, Azula?"

[Azula rewinds; she plays the recording a few more times before setting the device down and staring off into the night]

If you say so.

[And yes, he knows she's worked out that this is one of his "I don't believe you" answers by now.]

Don't be condescending, you ignorant brat.

Don't call me an ignorant brat.

Then stop acting like one!

You insist people don't know you if they've only spoken to you over the community. Maybe you should try applying that to yourself sometime.

[...]

Or I suppose you could do it the other way around.

You don't get it!

Don't I?

I can't know you properly over just the community - which means you can't know me, either.
You know me just fine - which means I'm perfectly capable of knowing you, too.

Which is it?

No you're not because I don't tell you.

And yet you never give a thought to what I might not be telling you.

You might think I was better off when I could be called a "heartless swordsman" and like it, but you don't want to meet me like that.

You don't know what I've been through - but I know enough of what you have to know that it's more like yours than you think.

... You couldn't have killed me.

You never even saw me fight when I was a chimera. How do you know?

Because I'm not a weakling!

And on what basis have you decided I am - or that I was then? Emotional issues don't have a thing to do with being able to fight. I could have fought you to a standstill without even bothering to use magic.

Of course, then I was fireproof.

I can fight with more than just fire.

Right. Because kicking someone made of stone is going to be so effective.

Even stone is breakable.

By a kick from a sixteen-year-old girl? Please.

And that would have required you to catch me.

You know I'm more than that!

Bender or not, Fire Lord or not, you're a normal human. You couldn't have touched me. Even if you caught me, I was still made of stone - and I've never heard of someone who could shatter a stone as thick as a human barehanded.

I'm not a normal human. I've trained for MY ENTIRE LIFE to not be a normal human!

Right. And training is going to make you able to stand up to someone whose body was built to be a weapon - on top of his own training?

I was made as a weapon, too.

... [Oh, look, that seems to have worked. Somewhat, anyway.]

... I know.
