... They want me. They asked me to fight for their cause; to train to be an agent. They finally see how valuable I can be; that I'm not just an annoying weakling. And until Cain's gone and it's time to--

I'll finally be doing something important again.

I have to figure out how and what to tell Lisa. She'll be angry with them.

Who is "they"?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Nobody.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

If it's someone Lisa would be angry with you about, you --

Look, I'm just curious, okay?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

She gets angry anytime she thinks I might be in danger.

I don't trust you. Not after what you've threatened.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Okay. I probably deserved that. I just ... I want to be happy for you, but I can't say that I am until I know it is whose cause you're signing on with. Especially if you think it might be dangerous.

I think it's good you'll be doing something important.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

It definitely is. Too much time has been spent waiting.

Sometimes you have to wait for the time to be right for such things to happen.

I know. I'm still waiting for one thing.

[infinite-arcana.livejournal.com]

What are you still waiting for?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

So, you'll be able to help your friends the way you want?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I will.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

That's great, Azula!

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I know.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll do really well at it, too.

[creepyshitking.livejournal.com]

... An agent?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[creepyshitking.livejournal.com]

What sort of agent?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I'll be working for the Vatican.

[creepyshitking.livejournal.com]

That sounds... rewarding.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Why would she be angry about you being useful? That's wonderful!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She doesn't like me to do things that could be considered dangerous.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

But all things are dangerous.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Some things are more dangerous than others.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Better than living in a gilded cage, right?
