The Earth Empire (Avatar Roleplay)

Ty Lee

"You think so?" she asked Mai, giggling as she jumped down from the fountain. She was pretty much aware that this wasn't quite the way Mai was wanting their date to go, what with Yue hanging around and all; but Ty Lee just couldn't shrug her off. Azula always said she was too soft-hearted, but she couldn't help it, it's just who she was.

Ty Lee walked over to her companion and embraced her tightly, "Thank you," she whispered, resting her head on Mai's shoulder.

Mai

Mai felt the tinniest tint of a blush spread across her face, but otherwise the stoic spy showed no other reaction. After a moment Mai slowly placed a hand on the back of Ty Lee's head, and lightly stroked her hair.

"You're...welcome, Ty."

Zuko

"....Hm. I think he might be behind this door." Zuko ventured, gesturing to the massive door at the end of the hall, which was covered in chains. "That, or some dangerous criminal."

"There's only one way to find out," Azula stated, conjuring a flame on her fingertip and burning through the chains with a smirk. Really, metal wasn't an obstacle for a firebender. She turned to Zuko, "You do the honors, Zuzu. Princesses don't knock down doors."

Ty Lee

Ty Lee held Mai for a few long moments before she eased her embrace, pulling away from the assassin slightly. The moonlight highlighted the taller girl's face, pale lips shining bright. Ty Lee stood up, slowly leaning in as she closed her eyes.

Zuko

Zuko rolled his eyes, but did as his sister asked. The doors burst open, and there in the center of the room sat Avatar Aang. The young Air Nomad was in a meditative position, his eyes and tattoo glowing as he meditated.

Mai

Mai gave a slight smile and leaned in as Ty Lee did, and as their lips touched Mai felt a jolt of....something (she couldn't quite tell what it was) go through her. After a hesitant pause the spy and assassin leaned further into the kiss, and Mai found that she quite enjoyed it. After a reluctant minute she parted from Ty Lee.

"That was....nice. Well. Shall we...head back to your...our apartment?"

"Ah. Avatar Aang... You sure know how to pass the time," Azula noted, eying his glowing tattoos curiously. If that was a sign of his power...

Ty Lee

Blushing, Ty Lee nodded as she cuddled closer to Mai, "That sounds great," she said, wrapping an arm around Mai's waist.

Mai

Mai smiled in return. "And I would...not mind sharing a bed with you, either. If you're ok with it."

Zuko

"He doesn't seem to be getting out of it." Zuko said after a moment, when it became apparent that the Avatar had not heard them. Hm. This must be some sort of deep meditation, or something....perhaps he was in the Spirit World?

"Any ideas how we can rouse him?"

Azula scowled, "Didn't you pick up anything useful from his tea-loving-kookiness when he told you about this Avatar nonsense?"

She frowned, "I guess we'll have to take him with us. You carry him. We both know I'm the better fighter."

?

"That is not necessary." an almost...inhuman voice stated, coming from the Avatar's lips. Zuko stared in shock, for a moment, before regaining himself. The Avatar, his tattoos and eyes still glowing, rose to his feet.

"Lead the way, Children of the Fire." the Avatar stated.

Azula's eyes widened in shock for a moment, but it passed within a few seconds. Once again, she was cool and collected. She nodded at the Avatar and began to lead the way. Now, they only needed to see a glimpse of the Avatar's power in action...
