[The swish of cloth can be heard, along with the sound of metal cutting air and impaling what may or may not be a crab.]

... You know, Azula, for someone who prides herself--[More sounds of metal]--on perfect logic, I have to wonder. What good does it do you to dump me in the middle of nowhere--[And repeat]--with this... thing, whatever it is?

[At first, the prince was going to ignore the sounds coming from his Dreamberry. Many similar messages had been coming through, but he just couldn't ignore it anymore when the person started to speak. A warm feeling gripped in his chest as his eyes widened in realization.]

Mai? [It's a weird feeling to be both excited, and to be struck by utter dread at the same moment. He had a lot of explaining to do... He was hoping he wouldn't have to face Mai after he left the fire nation. He couldn't drag her into his alliance with the Avatar, but now he was going to face something possibly even more terrifying then those dragons he'd seen when he visited the Sun Warriors... His pissed off girlfriend.]

[However, no matter how she would react to him, she was in trouble. She may hate him now, but he wasn't gonna let her be hurt.]

... Where are you?!

Zuko?

[Sigh]

Don't tell me you didn't even manage to escape.

[And oh yes, she's definitely still pissed off at you, Zuko. But that'll have to wait. As will answering your question.]

[prince_hothead]

[... That wasn't what he was expecting.]

What do you mean, escape? If you mean from this world, I've been trying.

[Ok, she was being attacked, apparently. Not the right moment to get into this. Maybe if he repeated the question.]

Mai, where are you? You have to get somewhere safe.

[...there's no mistaking that voice, now is there.

...well. she certainly hadn't ruled out the possibility that others from her world would make an appearance, and yet mai... another traitor....

although mai couldn't see it, azula's expression tightened momentarily, a bit of the anger--the rage--clawing away at her once more. this girl dared to defy her; this girl chose her brother--her silly, worthless brother--over her. and now she's come to somarium, no doubt to align herself with zuko. that put him with one more ally than she had. another kink in her plans, all caused by that silly girl again. she clenches her fist, feeling the fingernails digging into her palm. that contemptible, useless, back-stabbing....]

[daddysfavorite]

[...calm. she has to be calm. there is no perfection in silly displays of anger; she must remain cool, calm, and collected, as she always is. she mustn't allow mai to hear anything in her voice except for cold detachment and biting sarcasm.]

Did you honestly think that I would put you here? It would, after all, require so much effort... much more effort than you're honestly worth. ...Although it is rather touching that you think I care so much about you.

[knifenut]

[Well, if it isn't Azula herself. Strange though--so she's not the one responsible for this? Unless, of course, she's just lying. Like usual.]

Well then, Azula. Mind explaining how I ended up here if it wasn't your doing?

[daddysfavorite]

[oh, it would be so easy to lie. so very easy. but azula is no fool. were she to lie, mai would quite easily figure it out; people were more than willing to share information, after all.]

And when have I ever offered my assistance to traitors?
