[This is a flash back to July, when Tenenbaum infected Azula with a virus that made her start indiscriminately attacking people-- Cuddy's lying in a hospital bed, and Azula's sitting in a chair next to her, leaning back with one leg crossed over the other]

When are they going to let you out?

[Cuddy shifts a little in the bed before answering]

It shouldn't be more than a few days. They can't figure out how the burns healed so quickly--

[she gives Azula a stern, pointed look]

-- and they want to monitor me for a little while just to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

[Azula gives an irritated sniff]

Pathetic. Nothing is going to "go wrong"; I made sure of it. They're obviously distrusting and paranoid.

[Cuddy rolls her eyes, unimpressed with her hospital being insulted yet again]

Right, that's obviously it.

[not really in the mood for a fight (for once), Azula stands]

I'm going back to your house, if that's all right. I feel like getting something to eat.

Of course it's all right. I've already told you, you're always welcome.

[she pauses, then speaks again when Azula is almost out the door]

Azula.

[she turns back to Cuddy, raising an eyebrow]

I love you, you know.

[Azula just stands there, blinking in absolute surprise-- then she gives a curt jerk of her head, and hurries through the door]

[ooc: DONE WITH PERMISSION FROM SETINE because it was her idea o/ Also, I removed the cut on this because it looked like other people were posting pretty long entries without them, but if you think it's too big, let me know and I'll be happy to cut it again!]
