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.

"Subconscious control still doesn't work when you're unconscious. And you can't control your subconscious anyway. That's why it's called that."

"I can control anything that I want to."

"I'm sorry, Azula, but it just doesn't work like that."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not for you."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"Not for anyone. People can't do that."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Not that you know of."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"You're not even bothering to argue now, you're just contradicting me."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I'm telling the truth. You're the one trying to tell me what I can't do."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"I'm not forbidding it, I'm trying to explain that it is actually physically impossible. A human mind doesn't work like that."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"My mind works differently, then."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"No, I mean it physically doesn't work like that. It's a biological thing."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"... Maybe my biology is different."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"You're not even trying now."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I don't need to try with you."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"Then why are you arguing in the first place?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Because you haven't left yet."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"So you're just arguing with me because I'm here. Great."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"And because you're saying stupid things." She flopped back down onto the bed.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"Have to wait for someone to see it." He sighed, leaning against the wall. "And you're confusing 'stupid things' and 'things you don't agree with' again."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"You thinking you more more about me than I do is always stupid."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"Considering that you stopped trying to prove otherwise about twenty turns back and settled for just contradicting me, I don't think it's got anything to do with that anymore."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"I was contradicting you because you were wrong. Why should I put any more effort into explaining why? You'll just continue to be difficult."

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

"I'm definitely going to be difficult if you don't give me a reason to do otherwise."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"You're the one claiming to know more about me than I do."

Let's try this again >.>

"I'm claiming that your patently ridiculous assertion is just that."
