Azula walked slowly down the quiet hall with her shoes clicking with every step. "Funny that you should be watching me peasant." Azula turned and saw the throne room guard, standing in the middle of the hall, looking at her. Azula saw that she made him shiver and she smiled. She loved to make people shiver in fear. But, this wasn't really fear. Azula noticed the widow in the hall was left open and was blowing in a breeze of cold and chilling air. "Let me make something very clear. You shall walk that way and not come this way until I yell three words." Azula looked the guard in the eye and said this to him. The young Princess saw that he was smart enough to listen to one of the royal family. Yes like I will scream. My Daddy taught me to use my inside voice when I am inside. Azula smirked at this thought that ran through her head and walked on waiting for something new to happen.

The palace was as dim and drab as usual as Mai walked the halls. Ty Lee was in her room stretching or something, and Zuko and Azula had been no where to be found. With her arms folded across her chest, each hand in the opposite sleeve, Mai padded gently. Being quiet made people less aware of your movements. Her gave would glance quickly over the few men in Fire Nation Armour. Being back home it had become a common sight. She assumed it would start being common in the Earth Kingdom as well. Turning at an end to her hall she recognized a familiar figure. Azula. Mai kept her pace steady and did not call out in greeting. That was something Ty Lee might do, not her. Azula would notice her soon enough.

Azula walked quickly, and quietly, down the hall and turned another metal corner. Azula saw her life long friend, Mai, and walked toward her in a steady pace. "Hello Mai" The young Princess said these quiet, and soft, words to her friend as she turned to walk with her. "Have you seen Ty Lee today?" Azula asked a question to her friend and broke the silence.

"I'm sure she's around somewhere." Mai answered as Azula approached her. Her pal brown eyes looked at the other girl. "Everyone must still be busy with all the events happening." she said slowly. Things had changed and Mai was not sure she liked where they were going. All the planning had worked up to a point and so much was left to do.

Azula looked at Mai with her, very own, fierce eyes. "Well, I say that we should go have lunch. If you don't wish to then go find Ty Lee and meet me in the throne room. If you do want to have lunch, then follow me and I'll get us some korlad fish for lunch." Azula's face staid the same, regular, expression while she talked to her friend. Azula started to walk on and left Mai to do what she wanted.

Mai gave a small shrug of her shoulders. If Azula was suggesting that was what they should do Mai saw no reason going against it. "She could always find us later." she replied, falling into step behind Azula. Korlad was not her favorite fish, but Mai hadn't eaten much else today. And she didn't feel like wandering the palace anymore.

"Long time no see." A figure said in the shadows. Then Tom-Lee stepped out his red hair shining in the sun. "I hear your looking for the avatar." He said leaning on a wall.

Mai's eyes narrowed at the visitor. She glanced at Azula and back to him. She recognized him but was failing to place a name with his face. Mai folded her arms against her chest, hands tucked into their sleeves.

Azula smirked at the man that had now shown himself by stepping into the light. "Tom-Lee? I knew you were still rich and lived in the firenation but I never thought I would see you here in my palace." Azula felt the rushing power of her mind at work and then remembered that Tom-Lee ran the Phoenix Force. A group of trained firebenders that worked for her father. "Mai, do you remember Tom?" Azula looked to her friend as her head relived itself of thinking although it never stopped.

"Now that you mention his name." Mai said, looking at him coldly. She did, how he had been in some of the same social gatherings because of his families standing. "It has been some time." Mai nodded. She had a feeling why he was here and mentioning the Avatar. Her pale eyes remained on Tom-Lee.

"Yes indeed." he said stepping foward. "I came to offer you mine and the Phoenix Force's services to you, now that Zuko's gone traitor." He said. "I can hurt Zuko and capture him though I can't gaurantee I will kill him." He said remembering him and Zuko as friends.

"I know what you can do Tom. Ever since we parted me, and my father, have been keeping a close eye on you and your father. It must have been real hard when you found out that your father was dead. To bad." Azula blew her hair away from her eye with open lips. "If you are wanting to work for me then I'm sure to except. If you work hard and are at my side when we go looking for the avatar. Will you?" Azula stared into the depth of her old friends eyes and waited patently for a answer.

Mai pursed her lips at the mention of Zuko. She felt his little disappearing act cowardly and felt strong resentment she had ever gave him any of her time. "I think we can handle him," Mai pointed out. Her lips returned to their thin frown as she felt the holster at her wrist. Zuko wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Yes, thats right. You and Zu-Zu had a . . . .. thing for each other. Sorry Tom-Lee. But, you can still join my side as a helper and a friend." Azula took in a deep breath and turned her face back into the regular shape that it had. "If you will not join me then I will let you leave." Azula smiled and walked on.

Mai rolled her eyes. It hadn't been a 'thing'; in reality she wasn't sure what her feelings for Zuko had been. Though whatever had sparked her interest before was gone, she knew where she wanted to stand in the Fire Nation. Spoiled prince. she thought. And now Azula seemed to think that was where Mai's dislike was stemming from, over her crush that had chosen a different side. No, Zuko had betrayed Mai's nation and trust. She followed behind her friend without so much as another glance at Tom-Lee. She didn't have much of a feeling about him either way and could have easily gone on if he didn't follow them. She might have even preferred it.
