IC: Backdated to night of mega clusterfuck fight

[thekingsgambit]

[In one of the hospital beds, a confused ex-emperor is gradually coming to, blinking amid the poor lighting and grasping his side as he tries to sit up a little too fast. The skin around one underside of his jaw appears slightly swollen and darker than usual. Other than that, the only thing that stands out is the strained look of thought on his face as he tries to sort through the afternoon's events.]

[... No, no I do not.]

I found a way to remove it. A princess who was prideful but not adverse to lending her assistance.

[Gritting teeth so he can at least sit against headstand]

I doubt you frequently visit the hospital, Azula.

[smirks a little at the princess part]

No, but then everyone I know seems to stay out of trouble.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That is fortunate for them, as it was not always the case. But it does not explain why you are here now. I am not your brother.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

If anything I think my brother frequents this hospital more now. But then I should amend that to people I know who stay on my good side. The ones who see themselves as my adversaries, they probably have enough enemies to deal with putting them here already.

Why, I'm concerned about you. Isn't it obvious?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

You are rarely concerned about anything that does not influence you in some way.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

You can determine my motives in your spare time. Already I'm helping you cope with your enforced bedrest.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I cannot say that any conversation would not be viewed as a suitable alternative to wasting time in this place.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Oh Lulu, if you want to sit here alone and lick your wounds you can just say so.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

It would be ungrateful of me to deprive you of your entertainment after you took the time to come here, would it not?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

How gracious. [reclines a bit to give you a considering look] I'd wonder if you hit your head in removing that crown...

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

It was nothing so violent. Unlike so many things, it had a simple solution

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Hmm, so you got your injuries from complicated dealings.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Now, you overstep your bounds. But yes, I suppose it could be worded as such.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

I was clarifying. Tangles in hair is a nasty business.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah, I recall the last time I had such a problem...

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[letting him drift the topic away since that little hissy fit comment is getting her nowhere]

Nostalgic?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Rather it granted experience. I am quite adept at dealing with tangles now.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

I could have suggested a solution without injury.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Were you not already preoccupied.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

For something so easily solved, it would only take a moment.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Why not share it now? We never know when camp may decide to repeat its games.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

I admit I doubt it could help you with unseating crowns, as I have no experience with that. But for regular hair care, castor and fireseed oil works well enough.

[is okay with sharing this since my hair and nails will always be superior]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Fireseed oil? Something unique to your region?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

If you've never heard of it, most likely.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Natural remedies are not things so often come by back... there. But the young girls here might appreciate it.
