Sweets was in his office on Friday and doing some research while he waited for Azula.

Comments

[azuldragon]

As usual, Azula arrived in Dr. Sweets precisely on time. "Dr. Sweets."

[likeababyduck]

"Azula," Sweets replied, closing the medical journal he was reading and setting it aside. "How are you today?"

[azuldragon]

"Well," she answered, sitting. "And how do you find your day?"

[likeababyduck]

"It's been good so far," he said. "So, our last session I asked you do something that you couldn't do back in the Fire Nation. What did you end up doing?"

[azuldragon]

She hadn't him the list, printed from her new laptop. "Here."

The list read:

1. Learn about the new technology.
2. Learn about people with different abilities.
3. -
4. -
5. -

It was really a surprise she had two on the list.

Sweets took the sheet and read it over. He was impressed that she had two things listed as well.

"This is a good start," he said. "Have you done anything towards either of them yet?"

[azuldragon]

"Of course, I have a laptop and one person with abilities I took in as a student to help improve her martial arts and abilities."

No one would ever accuse Azula of being a slouch.

[likeababyduck]

"That's a very good start," Sweets said. "How are you learning about the laptop?"

[azuldragon]

"Dinah, the student I've been helping with her fighting skills, taught me a few things about my computer and the internet."

She leaned her head against her fist. "This place isn't very accommodating to foreigners, is it? Every sign here is in English."

[likeababyduck]

"If you'd like, we can spend some time during our sessions working on that," Sweets offered.

[azuldragon]

"An acquaintance already offered," Azula said, easily sidestepping his offer. She would rather not spend more time with him than absolutely necessary.

"And so, Dr. Sweets, what have you deducted from my lists and sessions?"

[likeababyduck]

"I think you are an intelligent and driven young lady," Sweets said. "But I would like to see you learn to relax and do things for yourself and not for other people."

[azuldragon]

This again. First Dinah now Dr. Sweets.

"I do relax, I like going to the spa," she answered.

[likeababyduck]

"Really?"

That took Sweets by surprise. "Do they have spas in the Fire Nation?"

[azuldragon]

"Do you think my world is some backwater world?" Azula demanded with narrowed eyes. "It might not be as technologically advance as this world but it does have technology and we do have spas. I believe from a few books I've perused it is not a concept that began in the 'West'."

[likeababyduck]

"I apologize," Sweets said. "I am completely unfamiliar with your world and, well, I don't know a lot about spas or the history of them either."
