The Dai Li weren't the only ones having fun were they? Don't play dumb.

I assure you, Father, it was not a move of revenge.

...

I did well, while you were gone. I made no mistakes; no slip-ups.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Who would benefit most from my...vacation? You.

Even if you did well, you made no act to correctthe situation as soon as you heard of it.

... Father, I ordered the brainwashing. I'm not attempting to hide that fact from you. I wanted to keep you under control show you that I could do well on my own; that I could be trusted.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

There were other options.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't have much time. I had to act quickly and decisively.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

So you threw me in prison and had me brainwashed.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You were never truly a prisoner. I undid it all, didn't I?

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

What do you expect me to do? Just accept it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I did.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

You aren't Fire Lord.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I offered you a courtesy that you didn't offer me. I attempted to keep you off the community, so as not to embarrass yourself.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

There was a reason I made you embarrass yourself. You needed to learn humility.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I never had anything but respect for you! I needed to learn nothing.

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

You started to stray. It saddened me that I needed to do something.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I wasn't straying!

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

I am the judge.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I know my own actions.
