Reflection

Broken. Impossible! All the training! All that time plotting and scheming! It has all boiled to being here, by myself, losing every inch of edge that I have. NO! I refuse to believe it! I will not! I cannot sit, sobbing, fallen, losing everything to that, that peasant! It cannot be

Azula...

What are you talking about?

[lady_azula]

...

YOU.

I can't talk to you right now, Zuko. I've had a very upsetting dream in which you play part.

[banishment]

I--

Whatever it is I did in your dream, it was just that: a dream. It wasn't real, Azula.

[lady_azula]

Then why have I dreamed this before? Why do I see YOU and that peasant beating me and taking everything away from me?

[banishment]

Me and that peasant? Me and Katara...beating you?

...

Oh, sages. That must be--what would have happened if I hadn't come here.

(( ooc: strikes totally hackable ))

[lady_azula]

Yes.

Correction. It's what would have happened if I hadn't come here.

[banishment]

It's both. We're both here.

[lady_azula]

So I've noticed.

It must have filled you with pride, winning finally. I looked pathetic enough to be finally broken

[banishment]

I wouldn't know, considering I didn't experience that. I didn't even experience that whole Boiling Rock nonsense before coming here. I'd just left home before this place pulled me.

It's not going to happen the way you saw it. I refuse to let it be that way. I won't do it.

[lady_azula]

But Mai would know. SHE was there. How far is your earthbender Toph?

Then that makes the two of us.

[banishment]

Mai did what she thought was right and she regrets hurting you. And you're not the Azula that she betrayed. You're different.

Around the same time as me, before the Boiling Rock.

Yes. We're not going to let things happen that way. It shouldn't have to. You shouldn't have been shown that in the first place.
