I don't need them to think me nice. I just need them to listen. Perhaps if they listen, they'll actually hear what I am saying.

[ Which is the fight, honestly, and he knows it. He knows that he'll have to work at this. ]

Who's head of the council?

[itstillhurt]

[She scoffs at that.]

Princess Jasmine. I had thought her the most reasonable of the moralizing fools, but she was among those who scolded me for defending myself. Little wonder that her council accomplished nothing.

[... At least, it accomplished nothing by the standards of somebody who measures action in military and state terms.]

I may as well warn you. If you do talk to her, she will be insufferable.

[ A princess should be concerned with her people, and threats within and without. ]

I'll talk to her. She sent me a tea set. We have a report even if it's a shallow one.

[ He scratches at the back of his neck. ]

anyone else?

[itstillhurt]

Anyone else what?

[She rolls her eyes.]

I'm not particularly interested in trying to persuade the whole village at this point, even if I thought you were capable of it. If you somehow manage to convince the princess to stop being a fool, she'll likely be more persuasive than you to the rest of them anyway. But I'm not holding my breath.

It's worth talking to her Azula. We cannot discount her, even if you want to. Perhaps, just perhaps we can get someone else on our side.

[ He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

Thank you, Azula.

[itstillhurt]

Yes, yes. I'm nothing if not reasonable.

[...She sounds like she really believes that.]

If there's nothing else?

[She doesn't wait for a response before she turns and starts to leave.]
