"Ty Lee," Suki cut in through the small crowd to get to the Fire Nation girl and leaned in to whisper. "Do you need an out?"

For the next five asks, my muse cannot tell a lie. (1/5)

“I don’t think I’ve ever told her how I feel, but then again, I’m not quite sure what the feeling is.”

“I’ve always been quite jealous of Ty Lee. She could do things with such ease while I failed. Not to mention that everyone loves Ty Lee, and everyone only afforded me the respect my position dictates. Well, at least I made sure she didn’t have any other friends when she became mine.”

“Of course, I’ve been quite horrible to her. The worse I was the more she would show me that frightened expression, and every time she just reminds me more and more of a turtleduck, it’s so cute. Of course, she makes a lot of cute expressions. When I’ve done something incredible, when I’ve done something kind towards her, when she’s content, when...”

“Well I always thought that we were very close. She was the only one I ever actually trusted, but apparently I wasn’t hers. Her betrayal was the worst I’ve ever felt, and each point she punched on my body had caused more pain than I’ve ever felt before or since. But I still don’t know what I feel towards Ty Lee. I suppose... I still do care for her and I would want her to feel the same, but it’s... I don’t exactly know how to describe it. I feel for her something I don’t think I’ve felt before. It’s entirely foreign.”

She had watched her waltz in around the arms of that... child. She had watched her stand surrounded by drooling men. And seeing her pay attention to them, it irked her just as it always had.

When Ty Lee finally sent her admirers away, Azula approached. Without a word, she wrapped her arm around the other girl’s and dragged her along. 

It wasn’t until she had led her to a deserted corner that she let go. Turning around, she barred her escape with one arm propped against the wall as she moved herself to occupy her entire field of vision. 

Atop a collapsed structure sat a firebender who gazed at the people below her with some delight. Watching the people scramble away from the monsters made her unusually giddy. Eagerly she watched as one particular blur of pink ran from one monster. It excited her to know what the blur didn’t, that her escape route only lead to another drone. 

Yet the more she stared the more her excitement turned to worry. That ponytail which flopped behind wildly was beginning to look quite familiar as did the color of her clothes. Suddenly, Azula came to the realization that she was now staring at an old friend.

“Ty Lee?” The name appeared on her lips and before Azula could even register the significance of Ty Lee being her, the drone already lay in a debris at her feet. 

She was now conscious of the fact that she was staring.

Shock must have flashed across her features and her cheeks must have blushed in embarrassment before she drew her hood over her head and turned away.
