Yesterday a man whose name I didn't catch offered to share a glass of wine with me. Since I suspected that he had more than friendly conversation and possible information-gathering on my part in mind, I asked him if he was aware of my age. It turns out that he thought that I was over twenty-one. Now, I realize that I do look a bit older than fifteen, but really- twenty-one is a bit extravagant, isn't it?

... Paris is quite lovely.

OOC: And there's a possibility that one of these miiiiight be sitting on Ty Lee's pillow in the hotel room when she wakes up in the morning. Azula has no idea how it got there, really. >.>

All the same, I'd rather not give people any more "hints" than are strictly necessary.

Memories.

[And wow, I don't know whether it's the secret from last night, the conversation, or just my dirty mind, but I read "take advantage of" in a completely different way than Azula meant it.]

And for your information, I know nothing about "losing all my friends".

Stop bringing that up. And it wasn't, strictly, a mistake.

OOC: There's no reason it can't be because of all three! :D And how do you know that's not how she meant it? >.>

That's what you always kept thinking I was trying to do to you.

You're the one who keeps saying you don't make mistakes. And it was.

[This is true! This is also true.]

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's the way you act. People who are far less self-righteous and insinuating than you have gotten it into their heads that Ty Lee needs to be "rescued".

It wasn't.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know if you've noticed yet, but I don't want that to happen.

It made her unhappy, everyone's reactions left you confused, and it didn't even work. Exactly how is that "not a mistake"?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you say now.

I wasn't confused. Everything was less confusing. Everything made perfect sense; I was perfectly in control. Everything was the way it really should be.

... And she didn't seem at all unhappy when I talked to her without my memories. The only thing that bothered her was that I didn't distinguish her from her sisters anymore. That could have been solved by not talking to me at all. She could have easily gotten over it.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's true. ...you think I would have a good reason to change my mind?

You thought everyone was trying to convince you you knew her. There's no way that's how things should be.

...You really think it's that simple? Ty Lee was putting on her strong face, because she thought it was what you would want. She loves you, and you forgot her. That's not something people can just easily get over.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I imagine that someone like you would consider the nature of who I am to be a good enough reason.

Of course I did. I was quite irritated by it, but hardly confused. How would you know? You've probably always had people that you... cared about. You don't know how much easier things are when you don't have that problem.

...

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

I would, if I didn't know you actually cared about her.

...sure. ...

Have you even apologized?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Tsk.

I wasn't.

...

...

You really don't know whether she was just "putting on her strong face" or not. And she wouldn't have been doing "what I would have wanted", because I wasn't even really there to see it.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

...

You really don't get it, do you?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Fine, then. If you feel that you're so enlightened, then explain it to me.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know what else I can tell you. She loves you. You already know what it's like to think someone you love is rejecting you.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, she interpreted my reactions wrong. I interpreted hers correctly.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

But does she know that?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She knows that I did what I did because at the time, she didn't want to be my friend anymore. I still don't know why she changed her mind again. It wasn't instigated by me.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

...hm.

You should still apologize, if you haven't already.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She hasn't.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

Sometimes you have to just take the first step yourself.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I have no reason to apologize. I did nothing wrong.

... She's the one who doesn't even want to be my friend in the first place. I don't know why she came back; why she...

She's probably just afraid of me. Of what I could do to her, if I so desired.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

You did something that hurt her feelings, so you should apologize. She'll be glad.



...why are you saying such things? Of course she wants to be your friend.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I already told you before- she started it.

If she did, then she wouldn't have left in the first place.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

You sound like a five-year-old on the playground. It doesn't matter who started it.

...I won't pretend to understand what was going on then, especially since you seem determined not to let me know. But I'm sure there's more to it than that.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It does. If someone causes a problem, it's not up to everyone else to fix it for them.

No. There isn't. She decided that she was sick of me. End of story.

Re: {LOCKED}

[oceanicbutterfly]

...

One way or another, it's obvious you two need to talk about it. Apologizing would be the best way to start.
