Just so you're aware, I'm working off of a waitressing income. I'll bid, but you'd better not have a line of fans here.

[banishment]

Why would I have a line of fans!? You had better not have a line of fans!

[whiteas]

I don't. Here. I don't here.

[ Sorry, Zuko. ]

[banishment]

...but you have fans.

[whiteas]

I'm the heiress to one of the largest companies in Remnant, I've held live singing performances before, and frankly I'm the smartest girl in my class at Beacon. I'm beautiful, rich, and I've had to reject a lot of boys. It's not that surprising.

[banishment]

No, it's not surprising.

[ he just doesn't like it. ]

[whiteas]

[ She can tell. ]

Considering how many boys I've rejected, remember that you're not one of them.

[ That's comforting, right? ]

[banishment]

[ that's very true. and very comforting, too. ]

You'll be rejecting anyone who tries to outbid me, right?

[whiteas]

If we both get outbid somehow, we can just suggest a double date, then ignore them.

[banishment]

Except we won't. I'll go broke ensuring that I win if I have to.

But I like that plan. Just in case.

[whiteas]

I'm not sure you ending up homeless is as romantic as that statement was meant to be.

[ Unsure. ]

[banishment]

Temari wouldn't kick me out. I don't think... Besides, we have another roommate now to help out with the bills, and I'll work extra shifts at the teashop to make up for the lost funds.

And I could always stay with my sister.

[whiteas]

Well you could always not tell anyone your predicament and just propose sleepovers with everyone you know and-

[ Wait. ] What do boys supposedly do at sleepovers?

[ Her attempt at a snide, albeit joking jab failed because she realized she had no idea. It might have been a co-ed dorm, but her team didn't have any men in it, so she'd never lived with a man before to actually know. ]

[banishment]

[ he honestly has no idea. you need to ask a boy who wasn't raised in a palace that question. ]

Talk... [ about girls?? meat? sokka would talk about meat. ] Talk about bending? Spar, maybe?

[whiteas]

[ This is going to turn into a research project in which she grills the only normalish guy she talks to on a regular basis about what secrets men hold behind the closed doors of a slumber party. ]

You've never had one, have you? [ The tone was what gave it away. ]

[banishment]

Oh yeah, I invited other boys to stay the night at the palace all the time.

[ translation: no. he hasn't. unless sleeping on the floor of the western air temple with a gaggle of other kids that include a few boys counts. he doesn't think he does, though. ]

[whiteas]

[ It's so hard to make jabs at him when he was as bad at having friends as she used to be. ]

New plan. If someone outbids you, I'll just make no effort to be less difficult around others.

[ Implying she's honestly had to work on that and is well aware of it. Even if being happier now definitely helps it along naturally. ]

[banishment]

[ even if he had friends, he probably wouldn't have had sleepovers. security risk and all. even mai and ty lee had slept in separate rooms whenever they "stayed over" at the palace. it wasn't proper for someone of lower standing to share a room with a prince/princess of the blood. it just wasn't done. ]

And I'll go back to hating the world and being angry all the time.

[ your boyfriend the person you're dating used to be something of a dick, weiss. he's worked on that, though. a lot. ]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss wasn't even allowed to have bunk beds with her sister even though she secretly wanted them, so she could probably understand that. ]

Anyone who outbids us is going to wish they hadn't.

[ That's okay. She used to be even more of a stuck-up princess with a bad attitude. The past is the past though. Except for this case. ]

[banishment]

Any idea of who put us up in the first place?

[ not that anyone knew they were seeing each other. at least, he hadn't told anyone. they still needed to tell azula. ]

[whiteas]

[ Blake and Sun knew. Weiss tended to not be fantastic at keeping her mouth shut when she has something she wants to talk about to people she trusts.

The fact that she hadn't explicitly told Yang yet made her suspect her. Otherwise it was possible it was just someone who wanted to tease her. Them. ]

If Blake or Sun mentioned it to Yang, then this is probably punishment since I haven't talked to her about us yet.

[ She's absolutely certain she's going to start getting boy advice when she tells Yang, though. ]

[banishment]

[ zuko suspects his sister, but that's the least of their concerns now that he's been informed of one of the rules of this auction. ]

We can't bid on each other. I can bid on you, but you can't bid on me. Sages, this is so stupid.

[whiteas]

[ That was so frustrating. Weiss folded her arms as she thought for a moment, then held up a finger. ]

If anyone bids on you, take them to Geraldi's for pizza. That way I have people who can keep an eye on both of you, whether I'm there or not.

[luckymonster]

[The place was not large enough for Azula to avoid everyone, or for her not to notice any couple fighting or being mushy about the whole date scene. Good thing she didn't have to worry about finding a husband in this old, boring and useless way. They don't even announce the skills of the person for someone like Azula to take note of. Absolutely useless.]

[Azula was walking along when she saw the look in Weiss' and Zuko's faces as they spoke to each other. Clearly, the body language has improved, and Azula was a dozen feet away from them, pretending to puke. Seriously, where was Mai when you needed dark, gloomy and brooding company?]

[This just had to stop before she genuinely pukes. So Weiss and Zuko might find a fire nation princess walking in between them, with her golden eyes glaring at Zuko briefly.]

Excuse me.

Excuse me..

Oh, hello there, Weiss!

[whiteas]

[ Weiss doesn't wait for Zuko to respond before quickly crossing her arms. She doesn't look horribly upset, but she's.. going to be incredibly upfront about this before Zuko even has the chance to get skittish about Azula. ]

Hi Azula. Not to be rude, but you might want to consider walking around people instead of between them. I don't want to kiss the wrong sibling on accident.

[ The best approach for this? No, not really. But Weiss doesn't always go the diplomatic route so much as the 'get what I want' route. ]
