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))

"What do you mean, I'm not collected now? Do I look like I'm sobbing all over myself?"

[iknowucan]

"No, not like that." He waved a hand. "You never cry in front of people, I can tell, and that's okay! I just meant that you're... not hiding that you're unhappy. You're making posts about how unhappy you are and were accusing people of taking Dr. Cuddy." Not that he had been lurking on her posts while he'd waited for a world hop. Not at all.

"Tell me the last time I made a post where I said 'I am unhappy'."

[iknowucan]

"You never say it, but... C'mon, Azula. Give me some credit. I know what people look like when they're unhappy."

"I look fine. ... And he didn't actually take her."

[iknowucan]

He shook his head. He wanted to explain to her that it was okay not to look 100% all the time, but he knew he wouldn't get through to her. "I know he didn't."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"He could have, though. He's an idiot."

[iknowucan]

"Everyone's an idiot to you."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Everyone who deserves it."

[iknowucan]

"Everyone who you think deserves it."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Let me guess: you think Kaito doesn't deserve it."

[iknowucan]

He furrowed his brow, trying to think. "Which one's Kaito?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"He pretends to be a magician and never takes anything seriously."

[iknowucan]

Think, think, think. "Oh! I think he warned me about Chuck, when Sharpay was on the community. I don't really know him, though, but I'm sure he's probably a nice guy."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She scoffed. "He's a jerk."

[iknowucan]

He laughed. "Is he, for real? You have to give him credit for warning me about Chuck potentially creeping on my sister."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I think you mean 'inevitably'."

[iknowucan]

"Well, he didn't really get a chance. Sharpay completely forgot about the whole thing, even though she helped someone put together a party." He frowned at that - man, it was just so... bizarre.

"It happens," Azula said bitterly. "You're lucky she didn't disappear completely from your world."

[iknowucan]

"Yeah, I know." He frowned and looked at her. "I'm really sorry."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I miss her," she admitted. It had just slipped out, almost involuntarily, but it was the first time she had really said it since it had happened.

[iknowucan]

He nodded and didn't show even the faintest hint of surprise on his face - even though he was surprised. He hadn't expected her to ever say it, but now that she had... well, what was he supposed to say? I know would only lead to her getting angry again, probably.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Even just a little?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She did, truthfully. What she didnt't want to do was say yes.

"What is there to talk about?"

[iknowucan]

"Well... I don't know. All of it? Stuff you did with her, maybe?" Reminiscing was good, right? "Or just about her leaving...?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow. "We did a lot of things."
