Eeee, I liked the surprise of Ursa kicking ass with Dao swords. VERY nice.

Thanks! I imagine she's thinking, "Get back here damn it I'm a swordswoman not a sprinter."

Thank you! It's kind of Dangerous Ladies Redux: Now Fighting for the Light Side of the Force. ;)

Awesome! Very clever and totally believable snapshot of life postwar. I can totally see Mai relishing something like this. :D

[blue_lacquer]

Thank you!

Ferreting out people plotting to kill Zuko is a nice change from all those boring Fire Lady ceremonial duties. And she gets to hang out with Ty Lee. It's win-win. ;)

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this! I mean it.

My favorite line, which sounds exactly like something Mai would say is, "And leave the only part that wasn't boring to someone else?"

[blue_lacquer]

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Poor Mai, having to sit and listen to all these boring guys talk before she gets something to do. ;)

Mai, Ty Lee, and Ursa POWER! :-)

That was really cool. I agree that Ursa has some kind of ability up her sleeve that we were never told about. (And that she's not dead. C-: )

Thanks!

I've seen swordfighting Ursa in several different places, so I cannot claim credit for the idea, but I do like it.
