[More paper rustling sounds; she's getting ready to practice writing English again]

Give me a--

[A pause, then there's the sound of of pad of paper being shut and roughly shoved away]

Forget it.

I want to go home. I mi--

Ugh.

When you go for the drug, you can do whatever you want with her.

I'm not complaining.

[pandorabox]

It wasn't supposed to be like this. But it is. You have to deal with it now.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Stop patronizing me; you don't know what you're talking about! You don't know what I'm doing.

[pandorabox]

No, but you're making it glaringly obvious you have a plan.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I do have a plan-- the foundations of one, that is.

[pandorabox]

And you're not exactly being subtle about it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why should I be subtle? He should know that I'm not just rolling over and giving up.

[pandorabox]

Oi oi, I never said it was a bad thing!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... I could go right now and none of you could stop me.

[pandorabox]

Go where? To the Fire Nation?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Where else, you idiot?

[pandorabox]

What would you do if you went now?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I'm going to, did I?

[pandorabox]

You said you could.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course I could. Who would stop me? Who could stop me?

[pandorabox]

A lot of people would try to stop you. Especially Cuddy-sensei.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I doubt it, on both counts.

[pandorabox]

Why wouldn't she? She's cared for you this entire time!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She has her 'kids'. I'm just a houseguest.

And as for why the rest of you wouldn't, that should be obvious.

[pandorabox]

Why do you think she's letting you stay with her?

I'm not going to encourage you to barge head-first into your father's army!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because she's a "good person"? Isn't that the explanation for all the confusing things people do?

I'm not going to-- ugh. I'm going to win; I'm going to

Dying at my father's hands would be an honorable death.

[pandorabox]

No, becuase she cares about you, idiot.

Stop saying things like that!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I told you, she has her kids; she doesn't need me.

Why? It's the truth.

[pandorabox]

But she keeps you around anyway!

It sounds defeatist.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because she's nice.

I don't need to give up to believe in the existence of honorable deaths, Kaito.
