When her father hears that she’s sleeping with Sokka, he’s furious.
“You foolish girl!” he snaps, and one one hand he’s never treated her this way, and on the other he’s always treated her this way, selling her like a peace of meat to seal an alliance. “Can’t you control yourself? Is your desire more important than the our nation’s safety? I promised the Fire Nation a bride, not a whore!”
Yue tilts her head to the side and considers her options. Considers the familiar feeling of ashes in her mouth and the spark of fire in her chest, the one she’ll need to by the queen of a nation not her own.
“I am sleeping with the son of the most powerful Southern chief and am engaged to the future Fire Lord,” she says calmly. “If you want safety for the Northern Tribes, you should take care of how you speak to me.”
He recoils as if she’s struck him. “They’re your tribes too!”
“No,” she says, turning her back on him, “they’re not. I’m Fire Nation now. It’s simple, Father. You can’t both give something away and keep it for yourself.”
