My sixteenth birthday is in about two and a half months. On my world, most people of royal and noble class marry when they're that age, and most of those marriages are arranged at least a year or so before that. As it stands, I'm already falling behind everyone else; no matter how much parents may want their son to marry the Fire Lord, they're not going to wait around forever. Whenever I do go back, I'll be stuck with someone that was unwanted by all the others for some reason-- because his family has a shameful history, or because he's a pervert, or because he's thirty years older than me. The Fire Lord will be given the last pick.

Things aren't supposed to be this backwards.

For the most part, I don't care about who I marry. I'm not doing it for love.

Yes, we've been over that.

Then what's your point?

[Karen stands up and dramatically points towards the camera.

That's her point.

...

...look, Shion told her she needed to practice making jokes, okay?]

... That was the worst attempt at a joke I've ever had the displeasure of encountering.

It's not as if you could do any better.

I just don't feel like trying.
