A quick Vampatar thing
Because for being a werewoof girl, I kind of adore the Dai Li vampires too much.

A vampire in the Lower Ring had been beaten to a pulp.
This wasn't particularly unusual in Ba Sing Se; sometimes a young vampire would underestimate a mortal or cross a powerful bender. However, in this case, there had been witnesses, who had all said the same thing - the one doing the beating had been a boy, only sixteen years old, and the vampire had been relatively older, at least four decades a leech.
That was unusual enough that when the report crossed Commander Hyo's desk, he went to see the Director of the Dai Li.
On hearing the report, Long Feng leaned forward and steepled his fingers. Hyo waited patiently; the only sound in the room was the crackling of the green fire that framed the Director. Finally, the older vampire said, "Have the boy watched."
Hyo nodded. "Liu?" At Long Feng's confirming nod, Hyo bowed and quit the room. On the way back to his own office, he caught the trainee Chatri by the arm and sent him to fetch the oldest of the Dai Li captains.
Chatri was the newest of the Dai Li trainees, so it would probably take him some time to find Liu. Hyo used that time to sift through the other reports. When a knock came on his door, he bade his guest enter.
Hyo took a moment to glance over the older man. You'd never imagine that his face and throat were slagged during the Siege, he thought, somewhat amused. The amusement left as he remembered how many captured Fire Nation soldiers it had taken for Liu to repair himself.
"Care to spend some time outside Lake Laogai?" he asked his subordinate.
