[RL with Azula]

[tyki_tock]

Tyki was in a disruptive mood, apparently. His desire to needle Azula had been coming on for a long time, and it had finally found expression. And she'd reacted just as he expected, though he hadn't quite expected her to threaten to come to the Ark. That would have been a bad idea, so he was quick to try to head it off

The truth be told, Azula wasn't really surprised.

After dismissing the soldiers that would normally have accompanied her in such a situation, she briskly walked laps through the palace corridors, searching for the little pest. She would have liked to get angry, but remaining cool and collected was always an advantage- especially when she was fairly certain that riling her up was exactly what he wanted.

Tyki spotted her fairly quickly after she arrived, and followed her curiously, watching her make laps around the castle and grinning widely. He didn't make any sound as he walked, not even touching the ground, and he kept a discreet distance as well so she wouldn't notice him.

Finally he tired of that game and planted himself in her way, smoking a cigarette and leaning against a wall so that she would see him when she rounded the next corner.

"Oh my," he said with mock dismay, his eyes widening. "The Princess of the Fire Nation. I thought you were in Paris. Now I'm screwed."

She turned around, her face expressionless and her body language displaying no signs of distress or irritation. When she spoke, her voice was deadly calm. "Is there a problem?"

"A problem?" Tyki echoed, then took a drag on his cigarette.

He blew out a cloud of smoke as he continued. "Well, everyone in this castle seems to think so. Apparently there's a spy here or something. But they just can't seem to find him."

Interesting that she wasn't angry. At least, she wanted him to think she wasn't angry. He wondered what she was planning to do to try to eject him from the premises, or even if she was really going to try.
