-rubs his chin- I’m not sure yet. I haven’t heard of any official plans or meetings. Not even any names. -growls- No leads at all anywhere just that something is happening out of my control.

It’s in times like these that the Dai Li would come in handy. [Snickers, only half-joking.] Seriously. I hope your spy is as good at ferreting things out as they were, because this kind of problem can’t be left to stew.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to put your insurgents in their place, Zuzu. Sozin didn’t build his glorious empire just to see his scions lose it all to a few pathetic non-benders.

Oh my gosh! That day was so fun! No other Fire Nation General, Ruler, or even one in any other Nation has ever had a bloodless victory of that scale. 

^_^ You’re the best, Azula.

See, Mai? Ty Lee appreciated the drill. Because she knows good design when she sees it.

Really, you could all stand to follow her shining example.

ooc; Finals are being real hectic, so I probably won’t be very active in posting until the end of the month. Just a heads-up.

-looks around, hand to his lips in thought- Let’s walk, Azula. Discussions such as this are not bound by law to be discussed in this war room. It seems a new problem has arisen, far from what I expected. Aang and I have fixed the problem of the separation of nations, now harmony has been achieved… in that sense. A new conflict has arisen to be seemingly… more personal. I cannot look into it myself for the reason being that everyone plays a part when speaking to me, as infuriating as it is, it’s true. I sent… -sighs-I’ll call it what it is, no shame in taking responsibilty. I sent out a spy. My own spy. Not to gather enemy information, simply to gather what my subjects really think….There seems to be a growing problem between those with bending and those without.

There’s nothing inherently devious or wrong about using spies, you know. They’re just another sad necessity for people like us. I think…that if people aren’t willing to tell you something straight out, they’ve left you no choice but to find out another way.

[Frowns and considers this new information.]

This isn’t news. Groups like the Freedom Fighters would never have existed if benders hadn’t seen fit to exploit their skills over the peasants unlucky enough to be born without them. But how large of a problem are we talking here? I mean, they’re just non-benders — how much damage can they do?

So, not that I care…but how have you been spending the last few years? Besides regular harassment of my ex-fiance, I mean.  

That does bring a smile to my face. [Totally not smiling.]

Sure, sure. Have your own damned opinions. 

I’ve been surrounded by guards day and night ever since I was released. It’s not as strange as I thought it would be, really. Like being a regular princess, except sometimes the weapons are aimed at you. [Snickers]

Zuko found the generosity in his heart to reduce my contingent, though. I suppose he needed his guards elsewhere, what with all this Republic City nonsense. So he authorised Ty Lee as my personal guard and dismissed the rest of those chi-blocking buffoons.

I’m still wondering just how she convinced him to do that.

Overbearing? Me?

You all seem to have forgotten that that drill was — and still is — the only thing to have successfully penetrated Ba Sing Se’s walls all the way through. We made history. And we also made ‘Ba Sing Se’ a misnomer. It just so happened that a strategic retreat was necessary.

I have time to judge people now that I spend longer doing less. 

I suppose. But it turned out that city wasn’t so difficult to take back when, like, a handful of rebels came back and defeated our troops in a few hours…

And also, we would’ve done better had we released that rock sludge on the city…ucccghh

…I suppose I could say the same of myself.

That might have worked if the Avatar hadn’t sent it all gushing in our direction. Though you really don’t have the right to complain about that slurry. After all, you managed to stay dry Agni knows where while Ty Lee and I got drenched head to toe in it.

Not that I’m complaining. The drill was a good idea and I stand by it. After all, it was my idea.

Well, it’s hardly as though they could have brainwashed me into being someone different. I’m still very much the Fire Nation princess you all know and love, just sans the killing and costumes and giant drill.

Which is a pity, since I was fond of that drill.

Right. Your personality is far too overbearing. It’d be near impossible to even make a dent. I’d almost forgotten. 

I hated that thing, are you kidding me.  [glare]

That sounds more familiar.
