[bentflame]

I have a sister. A sister.

[she says this a few more times, rolling it around in her mind]

... Hm.

[... she knows nothing about coffee, so she just copies Elektra's order]

The Fire Nation isn't on an Earth. It's similar, but a lot smaller. And it doesn't have a name.

[Two coffees with sugar and cream arrive promptly! Elektra hands them the money and heads over to a nearby booth.]

Does everyone have that talent?

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No. There are benders of other elements, as well as non-benders.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

[She sits down and takes a sip from her coffee.]

What elements?

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Water. Earth. Air.

You come from an amazing world, Azula. Interested in giving me a tour someday? I'll show you around New York in return.

[action]

[loooooooooong hesitation]

It's complicated.

I can't go back right now.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

[She raises brow but, remembers what she said before. Her situation with her father alone was reason enough for her not to go back there.]

How do you like your coffee?

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

{she hasn't tried it yet, so she takes a tiny sip now]

... It's strange. Bitter.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

That's because it's your first time trying it.

I can order something sweeter for you if you want.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine.

Is this really what people drink to wake up in the morning?

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

It is. You may not feel it now but, it really wakes you up after you finish the whole thing.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm already awake.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

You'll feel a little hyper then.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Hyper"?

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

You'll have a lot of energy you won't know what to do with.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I know what the word means. I just don't really feel that way, at least not yet.

... I suppose I could just train it off.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

That's because you haven't finished it yet.

Good idea.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I still train every day anyway.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

Well you are a solider.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I am.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

Where do you want to show me your skills by the way? New York isn't the safest place for that kind of demonstration.

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... I could just do something small, somewhere private.

[action]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

[There's a small pause.]

... Have you ever been to Greece before?

[action]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of it.
