In the Palace Gardens

[bentflame]

Azula knew from experience that when Ty Lee said "I'm coming anyway", she meant it- and for once, she wasn't in the mood to argue, or to threaten, or to fight.

She hated viruses.

The gardens were deserted, as she knew they would be- it was a couple of hours after midnight, after all. She didn't carry a candle, or anything that might alert someone to her presence. The full moon was bright enough to see by- and, having grown up here, she knew the grounds well.

She wasn't staying in her room, of course. Servants were working on fixing the bed, and the curtains, and the armoire- all of which had been burned during the... incident with that despicable woman. For the time being, Azula had relocated to one of the palace's many guest rooms, and while it was certainly spacious and comfortable, and and had all the amenities she desired, it wasn't her room.

It wasn't as though she couldn't handle anything less than the highest luxuries, of course- after all, how much time had she spent in the wilderness, searching for the Avatar?

At the moment, however, Azula wanted something familiar.

"I said I feel better. That happens."

Ty Lee walked up closer.

((And since Richard's going to hurt Azula soon after this...Oh lord. We love torturing Azula. >>))

"It's not real. I don't... want it if it's not real." Not to mention the fact that Ty Lee kissing her neck would have been a bit much in any situation... even if it did feel quite lovely.

Azula glared at her, but didn't back away.

OOC: Well, I'm kind of doing the two plots at once (and backdating this, I guess), so he's actually hurting her right now. XD And I know; I'm like... constantly stuck in the middle between, "Torture her more, everyone! It's fun to write the reactions! Whoo!" and "JUST LET HER CUDDLE WITH TY LEE. IS THAT TOO MUCH FOR HER TO WANT? DDD:" XD I clearly have serious issues.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"It's real enough."

Again, Ty Lee came closer. Ready to start the hug again.

((You're doing another one besides the Richard? I'm reading that log. DX And I suppose this is backdated but...at least Azula had some Ty Lee cuddle time before being maimed by Richard. Azula cuddles Ty Lee during the night, she can't keep out of trouble during the day.))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"No. It's not."

OOC: I'm doing at least two more, sometime at a later date. Everyone wants the chance to kick Azula's ass. XD (But she won't see it that way, of course. D: It just screws with her mind more to have Ty Lee willing sometimes and all "Um, ew" others. Heh.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"It is."

((Oh god. XD And Azula's got to realize that it's not the same all the time.))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Maybe for you." She took a tiny step backwards.

OOC: XD She just doesn't get it- she thinks Ty Lee's trying to mentally torture her or something.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"C'mon..." Ty Lee closed the distance.

((Do you really think Ty Lee is smart enough for that?))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula turned her face away, refusing to look at her. She said nothing.

OOC: XD Aw, she's not stupid... just kinda clueless.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Ty Lee gently put her hands on Azula's shoulders.

((She's not the brightest bulb anyways.))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No reaction.

OOC: XD Well, I guess I can't argue with that...

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"Just...once more. We can start slow, if you want."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula ignored her.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Ty Lee started another hug, yet again.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula did nothing. It was as if Ty Lee wasn't even there.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

That was odd, but Ty Lee took it in her stride and tried another neck kiss.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Nothing. It's a virus. Just a virus. When this is over she'll most likely run off, and you'll never see her again.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Again, harder. Why isn't she doing anything?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula was slightly uncomfortable, but she resisted the urge to pull away. She wasn't going to let Ty Lee know that her idiotic actions were affecting her at all.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Ty Lee was confused now, but didn't mind. She'd prefer a reaction but silence was okay. She went on, gently touching the side of Azula's face.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula didn't know why she was allowing this. It was just going to end up making things worse when the virus wore off. She'd probably get accused of molestation again, and taking advantage of Ty Lee. Despite her vow not to move a muscle, she felt her hands clench into fists.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"C'mon..." Her voice was quiet, low, the tone of a child or servant pleading for something. Ty Lee let go, slowly walked around and planted herself on her knees in front of Azula, pouting.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow slightly, though the desired affect was somewhat ruined by the tears drying on her face. "You know, you look ridiculous when you do that."

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"You make that sound a bad thing." Ty Lee noted the tears...why? She shouldn't be-Ty Lee stopped that line of thinking before it got too...

"Pleease, Azula. You didn't have to walk away. We can find somewhere else, if you want."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula turned away. "Ty Lee, I told you before."

She sighed.

"Don't you think it would be better if you stayed away from me until this is all over?"

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

"I need you, Azula. Please, just this once...we don't have to do it again but, just for me. Alright? No one has to know...we'll find someplace else, even."
