I ✿ ＡＵＲＡ【Video】

[When Ty Lee went to sleep last night, she expected to wake up in the same jail cell she was left in. Waking up in some sort of cocoon in a completely different setting definitely confused her. Once she was awake, she didn't waste any time in trying to figure out what was going on. With the necklace under her shirt, she had the the packet under her arm after reading what she could before trying to use the communicator.]

How do you-- Oh! It's on!

So uhm... This probably sounds like a stupid question at this point, but... Am I dreaming right now?

I get that we're in some strange new place from what I've found out so far, but it seems unlikely that I would be free to do as I wish considering what happened at home.

[She's not even elaborating on that because that seems like a bad idea right now.]

Yikes. Sorry I asked.

[And the way that he talks... Well, she has been wondering what Weiss was to Zuko since he didn't seem to fidget with her being so close. That and he was in a girls' room; unless he suddenly changed style ascetic. And he seemed so familiar with talking to her.]

You sound like you're talking from experience.

There are shoe prints on my window sill.

[ That's a yes attached to a pointed look that reads as 'you'd better dust it this time.' ]

Plenty of experience. We've both been here a while.

You're a tyrant, you know that, right?

[ but as whooped as he doesn't realize he (but likely very obviously is), zuko hands his device to weiss and slides off the bed to go take care of her precious windowsill. ]

[And with Zuko off doing his thing... She can't help but whisper to Weiss.]

Hey, so is there something going on between you two or something?

[She has a feeling.]

[ Oh boy. Waiting until Zuko is out of earshot to ask that? Bold move Ty Lee. Weiss glances over at Zuko's back for a brief moment, then nods at the video. ]

He's my boyfriend. [ Oh right. Mai. Azula got really mad about it, Weiss figures she might as well say something quietly before Zuko gets back from the window. ] You should know that it's been 6 months since he arrived in this place, so it isn't like he just got here and hooked up with someone besides your friend right away. And I am aware of that situation, so I know it might seem a little awkward but I love him so I'm not going to back off.

[She had a feeling. She was a little surprised to hear this, but really... From what she's gathered so far? It didn't seem too strange. Sure it was a little weird that her best friend's boyfriend was dating someone else here, but six months was a long time. Things happened.

Folding her arms to her chest -- not as a way to show that she was against this -- but more as a gesture to think the situation over, she was silent for a moment. Keeping her voice down just for Weiss.]

I see.

I'm not going to tell you to back off. I'll be honest... It's a little weird, but in the end what matters is his happiness and yours too for that matter.

I just hope that Mai doesn't come here too for her sake. I can't imagine how she'd react to this...

[Actually, Ty Lee knows how she would. That still made her feel bad to think of Mai came here and found out about it. Of course, Mai never really showed emotions or shared her thoughts much, but Ty Lee knew her well enough to know.]

I know it probably isn't easy, particularly since I remember when we had to tell Azula before she came around.

[ With a picnic basket, even. That was a thing alright. ]

So... thanks. For understanding and for asking me directly instead of guilt-tripping Zuko on accident later.

Of course. I mean... I would have just asked Zuko directly if anything, but I figured since the opportunity was there, I should take it.

Azula is hard to deal with sometimes. [More like most of the time.] I've known her since I was a little kid, so I've gotten used to how she acts.

I don't think she's that bad, actually. Once she was okay with it she took me out for a picnic. At 7am, which was a little strange, but it's the thought that counts. I mean, I know what she's capable of so I'm not completely disillusioned and I don't know her as well as you do, but I get along with her just fine.

[ Weiss glances up at Zuko briefly. Takin' your time with the window over there? Well, might as well keep talking. ]

Are you a bender too?

No, she's not always bad. That does sound like something she'd do though. There have been a few times where I had to give her some pointers. Let's just say hitting on guys without scaring them off didn't work so well.

[But despite what was just said, she does laugh a little. Clearly -- besides Azula yelling at her -- it was a good memory.]

Well, I mostly block chi. I kind of ran away from home to join the circus before Azula came to ask for my help.

I definitely want to see that one day.

[ At least Ty Lee seems friendly and easy enough to get along with. Then again, Weiss is fairly certain she's been good for her own part. ]

That's what Zuko meant? I thought it was more metaphorical, like how he calls me a tyrant just because I'm a... little bossy sometimes. [ Only a little. ] I don't actually rule over anything, I'm just the boss of him. [ Though she's pretty sure that he lets her be. ]

Well.. I guess being called a circus freak isn't exactly what I'd like, but I take pride in it regardless. I didn't really have my own identity back home, so I felt like there had to be something I could do.

Besides, in the end, it just makes me all the better.

[Trying to find a way to prop the communicator... Once it's staying, Ty Lee demonstrated as she bent back into what should be an impossible position.]

[ oh, zuko knows they're chatting. he's cleaned off the windowsill and is leaning back against the wall, watching but not quite listening in to their conversation. he'd be lying if he said he trusted ty lee, because he doesn't. not fully. the girls have always been loyal to azula first and foremost, and he's honestly having a hard time coming to terms with the knowledge that they betrayed the princess, whether it was to help him or not. maybe he would understand it better if he actually remembered whatever happened at the boiling rock, but isn't about to go down to the docks to dream of things he probably doesn't want to know.

was he arrested? did aang get captured somehow? what business did he even have at the highest security prison in the fire nation? he had so many questions, but no desire to go searching for answers. ]

Talking about me? [ he asks, stepping back into view beside weiss. he sits down next to her, not bothering to reclaim his communicator. ]

Talking about your terrible nicknaming sense, specifically.

[ Weiss considers for a moment, having something very pointed to say to him regarding flexibility, but it's something she'll reserve for later. ]

Zuko, stop calling her circus freak for your own sake. I think flexibility and going after what you want is important, Ty Lee.

[Shifting herself, she slightly shrugged as her feet touched the top of her head.]

It's okay. I appreciate it though.

[After a moment of doing handstands, she flipped back onto her feet to get the communicator again.]

So, all this being said... Where am I supposed to go from here?

[ sorry, zuko's too busy entertaining a sudden coughing fit to answer that question. he caught that (intended?) innuendo, weiss. you are going to be the death of him. ]

[ MEGA ROLLING HER EYES AT YOU ZUKO. ]

We're all stuck here, so you're going to need to find somewhere to live, first of all. Zuko can go pick you up once he remembers how to breathe.

I guess I'll just stay where I am for now then.

[ IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HIS MIND DROPPED INTO THE GUTTER. admit it, weiss. that was your intention all along.

but he recovers and is sliding off the bed anew, plucking his device out of weiss's hands. ]

Stay there, I'll be there soon.

[ She isn't admitting a thing.

After Zuko takes his device back, Weiss raises her voice. ]

Bye!

[And while he's on his way, she'll just keep herself busy by doing handstands and whatnot.]

[ ...of course she's doing headstands when he finds her. something like a faint sense of homesickness tinged with fond familiarity bubbles up inside of him when he gets closer, the fact that ty lee's the first person from home (outside of his sister) that he's seen half a year finally hitting him. he grapples with that knowledge of a second, warring with himself before he gets enough of a grip to clear his throat and speak up. ]

You do know that I'll be taking you to Azula, right?

[ and on some planets, people say hello first. nice to see your (lack) of social skills are still intact, zuzu. ]

[Would she be Ty Lee if she didn't? With her legs bent over in front of her, she looked at Zuko's feet from between her own.]

.... Right... Because... We're still best friends and nothing happened.

[And yet she feels really uncertain about that, but she'll manage. She's also used to his lack of social skills.]

Exactly. You might feel bad about lying to her, but the war and Aa— the Avatar, everything we were dealing with doesn't exist here. There's no point in making that a problem in a place where it doesn't have to be. And she's been doing okay. She's done a lot of good here, actually.

[ because her brother was at her side, convincing her of these things. but some of it azula's done all on her own. she's suited to her position and has done well with it, no matter what those weird tabloid (a word he's only recently become familiar with) broadcasts claim. ]

I never thought I'd be keeping you of all people in this... secret loop.

It's a strange feeling, that's for sure.

[Doing a bridge, she pushed herself up enough to stand up.]
