It's all Father's fault. Being Fire Lord was just like I had always imagined it would be, but then he had to ruin everything. Now? It's all WRONG.

But I'm not insane. I'm not breaking.

... I'm homesick. No matter where I go, I'm always homesick.

That's not even the right word. Pathetic.

At least we're getting somewhere.

I--

What are you talking about?

"We" aren't doing anything. I'm getting somewhere. You have nothing to do with how I run my country.

[pandorabox]

It's an expression.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

There was no reason to have used it.

[pandorabox]

Yes there was. You finally admitted that being Fire Lord, at least like this, isn't what you wanted.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not wanting to be Fire Lord like this isn't the same as wanting to run off to New Jersey and live a quiet, powerless life.

[pandorabox]

It's a step in the right direction.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I want to be Fire Lord. That is NEVER going to change.

[pandorabox]

What's more important? Being Fire Lord or being happy?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Being Fire Lord does make me happy.

[pandorabox]

You just said it didn't.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not like this. Stop being intentionally stupid.

[pandorabox]

Stop acting like you're in denial.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I want to be Fire Lord, but I don't want all these problems with Father. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?

[pandorabox]

What if they're one in the same? Being Fire Lord and having problems with your dad?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to just give him back the throne because he changed his mind. He's supposed to support me; he's supposed to rule at my side, not the other way around!

[pandorabox]

Right, right.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What?

[pandorabox]

Nothing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No. What?

[pandorabox]

Nothing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You think you're better than me. You think I'm pathetic.

[pandorabox]

Did I say that?

Why yes she is snowballing

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You think the fact that people here like you better means I'm inferior to you. Don't you get it? What happens here is NOTHING!

... he totes thinks she's paranoid now orz :|;;

[pandorabox]

Wait, what?! When did I say or even imply any of that?!
