Friends in Need; RL with Azula

[iknowucan]

After securing a worldhop (which was actually pretty hard to get, considering all the crazy "shadow" things going on, but Ryan is magic and gets what he wants), Ryan showed up at the AU house that's completely empty. Well, okay then. Azula always struck him as a minimalist so, cool.

He wandered through the place a little cautiously, since he knew that Azula was a little... um, easily annoyed. "Azula?"


((OOC: THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DON'T MAKE EXECUTIVE DECISIONS let me know if any o this should be changed :X))

"I don't need fun."

[iknowucan]

"Everyone needs fun."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I don't."

[iknowucan]

He shook his head. "Sure you do. Otherwise, you get all stressed out."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She gave a huff, but said nothing. Wasn't it obvious that she was "all stressed out"?

[iknowucan]

Actually, it really was. Hence the gentle prodding that Ryan was now about to utilize. "I mean, it's nice to be able to relax and just enjoy yourself once in a while, you know? Like, playing video games or... dancing, really, or just going to a movie or something. It helps clear your mind, you know? Because you get distracted by having fun."

A pointed look. "Then you can come back to a problem with a clearer head."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She stretched a leg out in front of her. "Maybe I don't feel like having fun."

[iknowucan]

"No offense, Azula, but that's either a lie or some crazy denial."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Not everyone is like you. I have better things to do with my time."

[iknowucan]

Like sit in an abandoned house. Ryan scratched the back of his head. "I guess."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I had four meetings today, and a lot of paperwork. Does that sound like I have time for fun?"

[iknowucan]

"Good point." He looked around the big, empty room, and then smiled at her. "Then again, you're not really doing anything right now, are you?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She crossed her arms more tightly. "Sometimes I have downtime. That's usually when I'd come here."

[iknowucan]

He shook his head. "Well, hey. Downtime is a good time to have fun, you know?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I had fun here sometimes."

[iknowucan]

Ryan didn't bother to point out the hypocrisy going on and instead shrugged. "How about now?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She moved onto her side, turning her back to him. The answer was obvious.

[iknowucan]

He shifted and watched her back for a minute. "I'm just saying - you're really tense right now and sad about Dr. Cuddy. Maybe a book or a movie or something would... help out."

"If the furniture were where it's supposed to be, your head would be under the dresser," she commented, trying in vain to change the subject. "It's unfortunate that that's not the case."

[iknowucan]

He made a face. "Don't be so mad at me for wanting you to be happy, Azula. Somebody has to do it, since you're not."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Who said I was so mad?"

[iknowucan]

"Uuuh, saying you think my head under a dresser would be a good idea and being... sulky is kind of an indicator." He pointed at her lazily, "Remember, I have a sister."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sulky," she said sulkily. "I'm far too mature to sulk."

[iknowucan]

Ryan couldn't help but laugh at that, even if that might've been a bad idea.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"What?" she asked indignantly.
