[010] Action OTA

[honor2usall]

[It's night, probably past the time any person would be out, but for some reason today you decide to go outside, maybe to admire the full moon... Then you notice a soft sound coming from near the fountain. You investigate closer, and then almost dismiss the noise as the breeze until you see the unmistakable glow of a comm

[Belle sees Mulan sitting on the edge of the fountain. She joins her silently and looks up at the moon.]

The moon's really pretty tonight, don't you think?

[Commence operation FIND OUT EVERYTHING IN A SUBTLE MANNER.]

[honor2usall]

[STILL SORT OF STARTLED. She manages to drop her comm on the ground... not broken thankfully]

B-Belle! Uh, yes it is.

[She's trying to wipe her eyes and grab the comm... feel free to pick it up for her...]

[trueasitcanbe]

[She picks up the comm for her.]

That was quite a fight you had tonight.

[honor2usall]

Thanks.

[She takes the comm before jumping again at the word fight]

O-oh! You saw that? I-- I didn't mean for other people to--

[she grabs at her hair, sweeping her fingers through it]

[trueasitcanbe]

It was a little hard to miss.

[She's quiet for a bit before talking again.]

You're a very good fighter, you know. Though I'm not sure what could push you to fight with Captain Shang like that.

[honor2usall]

Oh... uhh--

[ where to even BEGIN? she pauses and gathers her wits]

He said I acted obscenely... and mentioned Ping...

[trueasitcanbe]

You acted obscenely? What did you do that was so obscene?

And who's Ping?

1/2

[honor2usall]

Dancing with Kuzco.

[facepalming now]

I should have known that was a bad idea

[honor2usall]

Oh, Ping is--was my other name. When I was in the army...

[trueasitcanbe]

I'm not sure I understand. What was so obscene about dancing with Kuzco? Didn't the two of you do a tango?

Oh, yes, the army. I...heard about that.

[honor2usall]

I don't either, to be honest. Well, I guess I can understand how my culture and country wouldn't like that type of dancing, but Shang never seemed to be so... rigid about things like that.

[she sighs]

I don't know what got into him today...

You heard about that too? Did Kuzco tell you? [a short huff of air] He doesn't even believe it.

[trueasitcanbe]

Hm. Well, did you ever think that maybe he could be jealous?

[She huffs.]

Although fighting with you isn't exactly the best way to show it.

I actually heard it from Tiana who probably heard it from Kuzco.

[honor2usall]

Jealous? I--I don't know about that. I mean, I'm not exactly marriage material.

[She makes a face]

Ugh, Kuzco and his big mouth...

[trueasitcanbe]

Marriage material? That shouldn't have anything to do with jealousy. Besides, maybe he can't help but be jealous...?

[She shrugs.]

I suppose I was going to hear about it one way or another. To be honest, I think a small part of Kuzco actually believes you.

[honor2usall]

But Shang... I can understand him wanting to be my friend... but-- He hasn't exactly ever seen me at my best....

I just don't think it's possible

Kuzco, believe anything I say? This is Kuzco we are talking about.

[trueasitcanbe]

If this is the way he acts when he hasn't seen you at your best, then I'd hate to see what he would have done if he had seen you at your best. I don't know about you, but I think it's very possible that he's just...jealous.

I know how Kuzco can be, but -- he does believe you. Most of the time. He'd just hate to show it.
