[Locational lock to the Firecabin]

[head_overheels]

[It's an early summer evening in beautiful Camp Fuck You Die! The sun is setting, there are... I don't know, fireflies out maybe, the zombies are temporarily distracted by a certain camper's third year running an organized fighting league, and so on, other scene-setting stuff. But that's not important! What is important is that outside on Boys' Cabin 8, a certain acrobat is sitting just outside, sort of half-meditating and half-staring into space sometime after some choice intensely uncomfortable moments occurred. Her aura is a somewhat faded, lighter pink than usual.]

So, what's wrong with you?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

*sort of startling because she didn't see you there and definitely wasn't expecting your usual direct approach to things. o Mai ♥*

-- Mai! Hi! Um. Nothing! I'm, um, totally fine, you know?

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

*Of course you wouldn't be, I'm ninja like that :D*

I don't need to know about 'auras' to know you're doing a pathetic job at lying right now.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

*... pouting a little and turning away because s-sigh there's no point in even trying to lie to you, huh*

... sometimes I wish we were all... I don't know, a little less screwed-up than we are, you know?

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? There are talking cats here, remember?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

... well, yeah, but, I mean, not screwed-up in that way...

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Screwed in the head, you mean?

You're sidetracking again. What happened?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

... uh-huh.

Well, it's! I mean! It's just... there was mistletoe, right? And Azula...

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

....... Oh.

Did you know the mistletoe was there?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

I didn't! But, um, I mean, the kissing wasn't the problem. ... or, it sort of wasn't.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Was someone else there?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

... in a manner of speaking! It... before I got there I guess Azula'd already had the bad luck of being stuck under the mistletoe with Jet.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Ugh that's disgusting.

...That explains why he's back in hospital.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

Yeah, by the time I got there he was already in that kind of shape. Serves him right, I'll never forgive that loser for what he tried to do to Azula when she was a kid for that one week...

But, I mean... when he and Azula were... y'know... they were pretty much trying to kill each other at the same time, I think. And part of it was, like, he bit her tongue pretty hard. And I... well, I guess you can guess how I found out.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

The creep deserves everything he got. More, even. Azula doesn't want to talk about it, I guess?

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

*hahaha closed body language is go*

It... well, I mean, I sort of... froze up a little bit. I mean, her tongue was bleeding and I was... concerned, you know? And she got mad about it, like she thought that I thought that she was... I dunno, weak or something, or that I felt sorry for her. And... well, you know how she is...

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Not wanting to show weakness, yeah, I get it. She's never been in a position for someone to feel sorry for her. New experience or something.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but, I mean, it's not like I feel sorry for her, it's... you know. She got hurt. I'd feel the exact same way if it happened to you, or if it happened to... well, no, if it happened to Misa I would probably just find the guy who did it immediately and break his arms, but still! But it's like I'm not allowed to show it, and sometimes I... I dunno. I wish Azula would be more okay with stuff like that.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Especially someone she's known as long as you. You'd think she'd be used to it by now.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

That's... just the way she is, I guess. I can totally get away with way more than anyone else, but when it comes to really personal stuff... I don't know, I'm usually used to it. It's just hard sometimes, I guess.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

This is one of those things to just sweep under the rug and not talk about, as far as Azula's concerned. Pretend it never happened.

Except you know the peasant's going to end up in hospital whenever they cross paths.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

It's Jet, though, so that was going to happen either way. I'll... I guess I'll try to live with it.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Well, if she doesn't want to hear about it, I guess there's nothing to stop you wiping your snot over my shoulder.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

*... yeah hugging/clinging to you but also sort of lightly punching your shoulder first*

Ewww, I'm not gonna do that! That's gross, Mai!

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding. Now I've got a bad taste in my mouth just for mentioning it.

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

And that's totally all your fault, too! Don't worry, I'm fine with just hugging and not doing the other part.

[emogothninja.livejournal.com]

*just patting you on the back, now*

[head-overheels.livejournal.com]

*Don't mind me, just enjoying the hug and opting to enjoy it in silence for once*
