RL with Azula - So you thought you were safe?

[chimeranomore]

Zel was in a very good mood. Quite apart from feeling as if he was drunk out of his mind, he was almost certain he'd actually managed to win an argument with Azula for the first time in... ever. He managed to force himself to stop being smug, being aware, if only through a haze of alcohol he hadn't actually consumed, that this would not be useful in helping Azula.

He was still having trouble with the concept of her not wanting his help - surely if the virus was that bad she should welcome someone willing to help her relieve it? Eventually he dismissed it as Azula being her normal difficult self and decided that she'd surely warm up to the idea eventually. He couldn't help giggling a little at the unintentional pun in his own internal monologue, either.

He hummed happily to himself as he he gave a slightly arrhythmic knock at the door to her room. "Hello, Fire Lord?" he called out.

Azula immediately tensed at his voice, and her expression slid into a frown. It was ridiculous what this virus did-- she craved contact, no matter who it was from, but it didn't effect her mental processes enough that she didn't realize that without its influence, she would have told Zel to leave her alone the moment he suggested coming over to "help" her.

"Yes, I'm in here," she half-snapped, burrowing deeper under the blankets. "Where else would I be?"
