Rescue

Azula blinked once.

This didn’t help. The apparition remained in front of her, staring with blank, soulless eyes.

For a moment she did nothing, simply holding its gaze before she glared behind her.

Sokka cowered appropriately under her intimidating scowl, before ruining the effect by pouting.

“C’mon, Azula. She was left all alone! I couldn’t just ignore that.”

No, Azula supposed, he wouldn’t have been able to help himself. Sokka was too soft hearted.

There was a wet feeling at her fingers, and she glanced down to see the tiny kitten licking at them.

“See? She likes you.”

Azula sighed.

Vengeance

Sometimes he regretted his life choices, the paths he had taken that had lead him to this. He was so tired now, he felt older every day.

“You’d think we were still at war,” he muttered.

Azula paused, pulling the cloth she’d been wiping his face with away.

“People have long memories and strong grudges,” she said.

Sokka grimaced, his teeth red with his own blood.

“Misplaced grudges. You’ve paid for your sins.”

“Not in all eyes,” Azula sighed.

Some had seen her pardon as betrayal.

Her golden eyes were gentle as she cleaned him. He had no regrets today.
