[ It was quiet. The weather was nice. Azula curled up beneath a tree with her books in the Quad, taking advantage of the lack of others to catch up with schoolwork. She felt like she lacked excitement-- she didn't yet have cause to ruin the Avatar and his friends lives and she didn't feel like killing Zuko just yet.

Zuko.

She sighed as she flipped a page in her textbook. She didn't like that they had managed to get to Zuko. He liked to pretend that he was still on her side but she knew better, of course. She had lost her brother. And while trying to convince Sokka she wasn't all that bad either was a nice plan, she doubted she could ever truly play her part correctly and murder Aang. Though she couldn't exactly say she didn't enjoy the company of the boomerang boy-- something that made her cringe and miss home even more.

Lack of excitement.

She glanced up from her book out at the silent courtyard and flopped back in the grass, holding her book up, lazily reading the text. ]

Let's put it this way: I'm giving you a warning, I don't generally do that. If you get up right now and walk away, I won't hurt you.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Aww, but why would I want to do that? You haven't even given me a chance yet.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

I don't give chances.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Why not? It's not like you'll lose anything if you do.

[ She lifted her hand, sparks glowing blue between her fingers. ]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Instead of looking afraid though, Ryoji only looks excited and grins at her.]

Oh! So you're a bender too? I'm guessing fire, by the flames on your fingers, right? I've wasn't expecting a blue flame though.

[ Azula rolled her eyes. ]

So you're a friend of Zuko's?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Not especially? Um.... I think I might have talked to him over the bbs once or twice, but that's it.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

Then how do you know about bending?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Oh, Katara showed me once! It really was a form of art when she did it.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

[ She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. Katara. Oh how she wished she could just breathe fire in his direction and melt his face off, that would be nice. ]

Form of art? What a disgusting thing to say about water bending.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

But what fire bending? Would you call it an art as well, or something different?

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

I really don't want to talk to you.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Why not? I'm enjoying talking with you.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

A lot of people generally enjoy my company but unfortunately I hardly care for anybodies at all.

[ She turned around from him to start to gather her books. ]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Now that's a shame. A beautiful lady like you? Not enjoying the pleasures of human company at all? Maybe I should try to fix that.

[Not to be deterred in the least bit, Ryoji starts helping her with her books.]

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

[ Azula narrowed her eyes, her hand cackling with lightning as she smacked Ryoji's hand away from her things. ]

It is incredibly annoying when people don't take no for an answer.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Wincing at the sting, still though, Ryoji isn't deterred from his flirtations.]

Guess I'm just stubborn like that.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

[ There was no advantage to his infatuation. None what so ever, so it wouldn't even be fun to play with it. She had no desire to force interest in anybody but the people within her own world and she wasn't going to start now. ]

Do I just have to ignore you to get you away?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

You could, but I don't think it'll work very well. I'm pretty persistent like that.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

Which is probably why no one has any interest in you.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

I don't know about that. I've made a lot of friends since arriving here.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

[ Irritating.

Azula lit one of her books on fire and preceded to move forward and hit him wherever happened to be the closest. ]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Ryoji's eyes widen before he hastily dodges and moves out of the way. The flaming book barely misses hitting him on the upper arm.]

Now that isn't very nice.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

Maybe now you'll get the hint.

[ She extinguished the flame, pressing her charred book and the rest of her things against her chest as she began to walk away from Ryoji. ]
