[Alright, no diplomatic tiptoeing necessary! That's good to know.]
Right. Very succinctly put. So a contract for the monetary compensation, and we'll call the rest informal goodwill. From all I've heard about this place, having competent people beside you in a crisis is far from guaranteed. I'll value that as much as you do.
Providing that I figure this out well enough to count as competent with it. Otherwise, I'm sticking to the axe.
Now that I think about it, there are triggers. Pain, surprise. Frustration, if it's strong enough to start tipping into anger. I'm not an excessively emotional person.
[Hm. Similar to untrained firebenders, then, though lightning in particular isn't something one could produce by accident while firebending.
On the plus side, 'not an excessively emotional person' is a strong merit in her books.]
In this case, the path to controlling your accidental use is likely by mastering your intentional use. I suggest you practice with the power using regular drills. Even as it improves your talent at using the lightning, it will also improve your control with it.

[Azula, everybody.]
Is there something that causes the unintentional sparking? Emotional state, pain, distractions, anything like that?

Are you averse to waking early in the morning?

[She means it. Tell her 5am and she'll be there bright and caffeinated!]
You'd be willing to meet in the morning and show me these drills? Whatever time works for you, I can do.

I'm not interested in inconveniencing myself on your behalf, which I imagine should ease your sense of debt obligation some.

I'll be there tomorrow, thank you!
I appreciate it, but I certainly don't mean to put myself in debt. We can discuss a more precise contract when we meet.
