Wow, I'm exhausted.

I wrote some Avatar! Ty Lee and Mai. I'm not sure if it sucks or not.



It's not that Ty Lee didn't try to tell her. It's just the kind of thing that's, well, hard to bring up. She was going to mention it the first time she saw hickeys on Mai's neck, she bit her lip and started, "Um, you know..." but then finished weakly with "Isn't Azula going to get kind of weird about this?"

"Azula can mind her own business," said Mai decisively. And that was the end of that line of persuasion.So after that there were times she tried to talk about it, but every time she started a sentence, it seemed to break down into nervous hems and haws.

The thing is she knew she was right. It wasn't obvious this way they were kids, of course, but being in the circus brings you into contact with all sorts of stuff, and she likes to think she's pretty good at figuring out which... well, which side people bend from.

And Zuko...

Ty Lee knows that Mai takes care of herself. But she wouldn't be a good friend if she didn't say *something*...

She very nearly gave up. But finally, they were at a spa for the day and in the middle of a steam bath, it just seemed like the time, and it sort of came out on its own.

"Mai. You know that Zuko doesn't like girls, right?"

"Of course," responded Mai, filing her nails to points. "I'm not an idiot, you know." And a sort of tiny smirk crossed her face. "I don't care if he doesn't like girls. He likes *me* just fine."

There's no arguing with that.
