TENTH | VIDEO

[represses]

[The feed clicks on to show a very haggard-looking Mai, looking... at a loss for words. She'd decided to make a post, just to distract herself from everything, but... now that it's on, she doesn't know what she can say.]

...seems like we spend all our time here.

[She sighs quietly.]

...he'll bounce back. Just like I did

[Running to the hospital commentlog y/n?]

[represses]

[yyyyyyy! Mai will have stopped screaming by the time she gets there, by the by~]

[beatsupboys]

[Runs into the room]

Mai! He's coming back!

[And she knows from experience that hearing that doesn't completely detract from the fact that someone died, but at least it should help some]

[represses]

[By this point, she's kneeling next to the bed, a lost look in her eyes. Ty Lee's entrance and outburst doesn't even cause her to look up, though she does respond, albeit quietly.]

...I know.

[beatsupboys]

[Still breathing heavily from her run, she just flops down on the floor next to Mai]

Okay. Good.

[represses]

[After a moment, she shakes her head, and her expression hardens a bit; less lost, now, and more angry.]

...this is... stupid.

[She gritted her teeth, still staring off into space. She almost sounds like she's talking to herself, here.]

He fought the Avatar dozens of times... he and that waterbender beat Azula...

Something like this happening is just... stupid...

[beatsupboys]

Y-yeah...

[Feels kind of awkward bringing Azula up here sadjfk]

He, um... if it was a fight, I bet he would have won! But the chips...

[represses]

I know... I know...

[She just sits still for a moment, dully regretting that outburst, but lacking the will to apologize for it, or to move on from it.]

[beatsupboys]

[... Ty Lee touches her arm, lightly]

[represses]

[Mai looks over at Ty Lee, the rage positively falling away from her expression; the one she wears now is... forlorn, almost.]

[beatsupboys]

[Have a hug?]

[represses]

[That's rather welcome. She doesn't say anything, for the moment; just... hugs back.]

[beatsupboys]

... He'll be back tomorrow.

sorry for taking so long. ):

[represses]

[She just... nods; knowing that, academically, isn't enough to distract her from the fact that, here and now, her boyfriend was dead. Possibly because this was the first time in... well, basically, in her entire life, that she'd actually let sorrow show. There was a lot pent up, quite a bit of it unrelated to the present.

Of course, there WAS a nagging worry, thanks to Zuko's pet midget.]

...unless he isn't.

No problem XD

[beatsupboys]

Why wouldn't he?

[represses]

...I heard there was someone that died days ago, and still isn't back. One of Toph's friends, I guess.
