“Not true,” she said simply, plopping down next to Zuko where he still dripped from the dumping of cold water. The droplets caught the light in places, glinting before falling to the darkened sand underneath him.
“Besides, we haven’t spent much time together since you came back. I thought it would be nice to have some quality time while Ty Lee helps Mai with the sand in her swimsuit.” She tossed her hair, leaning back against her hands, ankles crossed as the princess basked in the sunlight.
With a deep breath she felt the swell and rise of her firebending before it settled back within her as she let the breath out between her lips.
“Unless you’d rather leave things as they’ve been the last four years while you were away?”
Golden eyes narrowed suspiciously as Zuko watched Azula sit next to him. He knew better than to take anything his sister did at face value, he’s had YEARS to learn that lesson all through his life. Azula always had something up her sleeve even if she weren’t wearing any at present.
At some point though Zuko knew he’d have to give up the active glaring and huffed as gaze was drawn back out toward the ocean. As much as he’d like to push his sopping bangs out of his face that just wasn’t something he’d do- NOT HERE where everyone could see the mark of dishonor so prominently displayed on his face.
❝ While I was AWAY? You almost make it sound like I had a choice in the matter. ❞ Or that he’d had a choice outside of considering his own sister an enemy during the time he was EXILED and made a refugee in the Earth Kingdom.
❝ Just sort of figured I was the last person here you’d want to spend quality time with. ❞
