I take a few days off from here to catch up on politics, and you've all harassed Azula. Great.

Would you guys please stop defending me to her? It's not that I don't appreciate it, but she's dangerous! You don't need to get involved!

[a sigh]

Has she hurt anyone?

[a_wolfen_heart]

She set me on fire yesterday, but I was kinda' askin' for it. I regenerate anyway, so I don't mind.

[willbiteback]

You were asking for it, but I'm glad you aren't badly hurt.

[a_wolfen_heart]

It gave me somethin' to do, at least.

[willbiteback]

Did the others staying there come to any harm?

[a_wolfen_heart]

No.

[willbiteback]

Good. While I do find the woman she stays with to be rude and unfriendly, there's no question that she is an innocent.

[honorregained]

Not yet. I don't think.

[willbiteback]

Is she planning to?

[honorregained]

How should I know? I don't have a direct line to her brain! She never makes sense to me!

[willbiteback]

Maybe sending her to Earth wasn't the best idea.

[honorregained]

She can't possibly get any better while she's here. If she does anything else, I'll have to do something, and I told her that. But if all she's going to do is make threats, I can't... attack her. It'd defeat the whole point.

[willbiteback]

But can she get better there?

I don't want to see her hurt, nor do I want to see her hurt others. To be honest, I've never been very happy about the idea of her having access to this community.

[honorregained]

I don't know, but isn't it a better chance than here?

Most people don't believe her on the community, though. I think... I just - I don't want to do anything I don't have to.

[willbiteback]

I don't know, because I don't know what goes on there.

They don't believe her, but they could easily be hurt by her.

[honorregained]

Then... ask? Not - her, but. Other people?

People here are more resilient than you think. And if any of them do need help, I'll be there. I won't let her hurt anyone, Mom. It's okay.
