{LOCKED; VOICE}

That's why he's doing this. He's trying to control me.

[Pacing, pacing, pacing]

He wants me to be a prisoner here, unable to leave for any reason, constantly under threat from assailants and assassins.

[She stops suddenly, and her voice grows colder; harsher-- and more agitated]

He's trying to take everything; he's trying to take even more than that damned community has. If he wants to desert me, fine, but he can't keep me from--

[A controlled breath-- and when she speaks again, her voice is forcibly calmer]

He can't stop me.

{LOCKED TO CUDDY}

I'm coming back. Just for the nights, like I was doing before.

{LOCKED TO LARSA}

If you organize another hunting trip anytime soon, I'll consider coming-- depending on how long it is, and provided that you don't act like a brat, of course.

{LOCKED TO OZAI}

Fathers are almost as worthless as mothers; it's the heir's job to finish them both in the end.

You should know that well enough.

{/LOCKED FROM OZAI}

{LOCKED FROM OZAI}

Ha.

It's amusing, really.

{/LOCKED FROM OZAI}

This place is more trouble than it's worth.

At least he had an heir, even if it was one that later turned traitor. Who do you have? Zuko? Even Iroh would be better than him.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

I have some heirs, yes.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You have me.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Other heirs.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You don't.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Not from Ursa.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... They're not true heirs. They're illegitimate. They didn't grow up royal; they weren't trained.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Better than those who couldn't follow orders

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

As Fire Lord, it wasn't my duty!

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

As princess you were to obey every command of the Fire Lord and you failed.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And then you made me Fire Lord.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Puppet.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The Fire Lord will never be a puppet!

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have even bothered; you messed up that as well!

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I never mess up! Just because you trained me doesn't mean you control me!

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

You would be nothing without my training!

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I trained myself, too.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Without my direction, you had no idea how.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm talented.

You just don't like the fact that I don't need you.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

That's not true.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It certainly sounds like it.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

Why did you bring up your grandfather's death?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

He betrayed you, didn't he? He thought you were worthless.

Maybe he was right.

Re: {LOCKED}

[fierysire.livejournal.com]

You know nothing of my relationship with Azulon. It was akin to your relationship with Ursa.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Or maybe he actually had good reason.
