"You mean we as in the people or we as in your company?"

000

Nodding her head, she knew what dust was, so she had an idea of how much valuable that could be. "The largest? That must have been huge then..."

000

That explained a lot... "What type of company was it?"

000

"You have my sympathy, I may not have lost my entire kingdom, but I sure lost a lot. I am a princess in name only now."

000

"That is even worse... It must have been very traumatizing... How are you dealing with it?"

000

"Your kingdom collapsed? How horrible... I'm sorry..."

000

"We could say both..." She is kind of exiled... "What about you?"

000

"The Fire Nation expanded its influence far and wide, so we had things from many different cultures. Including spicy food."

000

"Not a fan, but also not against it, I'm indifferent."

000

Azula would follow her to this place.

000

"Then let's start with that. Is there any local restaurant you know?" Good start, Azula was hungry, she didn't really have money, and she didn't know what was edible in the desert... the animals were so weird.

000

How naive was this girl?... 💧 Maybe she was raised on a gilded cage? But that would mean she probably has a lot of resources... "What would you like to experience first? Local cuisine? Store? Maybe just walk around the city and see its people?"

000

"Then it seems we can explore this place together."

000

"Then maybe, instead, we can just learn about Vacuo together? Even if you are not from here, I'm not even from this world."

000

Aria looks like a sheltered kid, Azula is betting on it...

000

"I'm not from this world and I'm still learning, you can help me with that... Show me things around, teach me about the place. And you will be able to go around and see things for yourself as well, without worry of any of those problems, since you will be under my protection." ++

Sweet innocent Aria... You are standing in front of one right now. "How about we help each other then?"

000

"Isn't it scary? So many strong people around, not to mention those Grimm."

000

"Wait... so not everyone has those powers here? I thought everyone had them... I guess I was wrong since I only saw warriors so far."

000

She pretended to smile and give her a bow. "I guarantee you, it's not only flashy but very powerful as well. What about you, do you have one of those.... semblents? Semblance? What are they called?" She knew the right name, this was about letting the other girl feel helpful...

ALT: Azula Fire Bending in Avatar Intro

"Take some steps back, don't want you to get hurt by it." Azula too took two steps back!

000

"Pretty much, want me to show you?" Second step... show friendliness, reach with a hand.

000

"Strongest nation in the world, our might reached all of it's corners. And I, as the princess of such nation, was also one of it's strongest leaders and fire bender."

000

She was clearly scared of her... Maybe Azula could use that to her advantage... "No no, I believe in you, of course." First part in manipulating, showing trust!

000

"You do not act like you come from a well known family at all..." Narrowing her eyes... she approached the girl. Azula really looked aggressive for some reason, up close it was even worse.

000

"Then what exactly are you? If I had to guess, I'd say servant of nobility?"

001

"Not at all... but so far, I've encountered only strong people, or at least people pretending to be strong... you on the other hand...." 💧

000

"I am not sure... I'm either in a very far away continent, not explored by my people, or I have somehow fallen into a strange and different world..."

000

"Now that is better... I'm princess Azula from the Fire Nation." Analyzing Aria... She didn't dress like some servant, but she sure spoke like one.

000

"Still waiting for a name... girl..."

000

"Who are you anyway, bringer of headaches?"

000

"Not even the first time I hear you sneeze..."

000

"Sure thing grandma..." Wasn't a fan of being called a kid.

100

"I'm not a kid... I'm 17." So... an older Kid, except in her eyes.
