Azula had settled into a fairly stable routine (considering the circumstances)-- sleep during the day, fight monsters at night. She hadn't had much contact with others in the city for a while, but she didn't mind; while she was undeniably lonely, it was better than having to deal with traitors and liars and potential betrayers. And everyone fit into at least one of those categories

Loneliness Katara could understand. She missed Aang and Sokka, Toph, Appa and Momo terribly. And being stuck in this place with enemies - both firebenders of all things - was frustrating. Their silence made her nervous. Zuko pretending to be nice like he had been in Ba Sing Se... Azula's completely unhinged -- unhinged ....
Wait.
Katara almost missed that flash of blue fire that sent chills down her spine, and her headlong dash slow to a stop, blue eyes narrowing to stare closely at the all too familiar shape stalking down the street, apparently having taken no notice of Katara herself.
That was Azula.
Katara's own path was going to intersect with Azula's - it would be cruel fate thrown in her face that they wound up heading in the same direction. But what in the world was Azula doing out here? No matter, if she was up to no good, Katara would... just

Azula heard the roar, and almost started forward to investigate before she thought better of it. She spun around to head in the other direction... and caught sight of the other person again, realizing it was Katara.
Her eyes widened in shock. The last time she had seen the Avatar's waterbender, it had been in the courtyard of the palace. She had fought her, and tied her up-- it was her fault just as much as Zuko's that she'd lost her country and been locked in prison for all those months. That was why she was following her; she was trying to sneak up on her! She wanted to do the same thing here! A blinding hot rage coursed through Azula's body, and she leapt forward to attack, fire at the ready. She had to get the first move in. She had to get the upper hand.
Oh monkeyfarts. Katara had been following at a slower, more cautious pace than the other bender, just in case Azula /was/ plotting some secret, nefarious firebender plot. Maybe even with Zuko, that dirty liar. "I knew it." She hissed flatly when Azula caught sight of her and charged to attack.
"You ARE up to something here." And clearly Katara would be in the way. That was obviously why Azula was attacking her now. Azula had the first move, forcing Katara onto the defensive, water whipping out of the canteen with a fluid movement, jetting forward at the princesses chest as she charged forward, to try and get some distance between them. The only problem was she didn't have as much time to prepare as Azula did - and Azula was as quick as she remembered - and likely just as dangerous, if not moreso.
