1st Team Meeting

[makeadragonwannaretire]

WHO: Azula and any vault dwellers who show up.
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Three hours after her annoucement.
WHAT: Azula's "War Council" to disseminate information and introductions...also snacks.
WARNINGS: Possible discussions of violence and/or dark backstories.

Azula had attended a number of war meetings growing up as well as social affairs for meeting with important members of the public or military. This was different for a number of reasons, the largest being that this was a place no one seemed to have any respect for her title.

But she could handle that. It had taken her half a month to come to terms with it but here the title "Princess" was only as important as she made it.

Unfortunately that meant having to play "Nice" having to bite her tongue and not get frustrated when she wasn't catered to. That would have been harder for her two years ago, and impossible a year ago.

But here we were, with her waiting patiently near the entrance to the Rec Room to greet people as they came in. Oh how far she'd fallen.

"Come in, help yourself to some snacks. We'll get started soon."

"It's working on the latter, isn't it?"

Self-reliance is a perfectly acceptable way of coping with this, as far as he's concerned.

"If you have a problem with it, we can take it outside."

In the hallway, because there is no outside.

"Cute, somehow that's the response I was expecting but it's still surprising it came out of your mouth anyways."

Saya sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose before shaking her head.

"Making sure we have capable people to get out of this mess is enough without having to deal with hormonal males strutting their bravado places so I'll opt to stay here."

[cicadashell]

"Don't provoke me if you don't wanna deal with it then!"

He growls a little. Saya is an instigator; she didn't have to say anything at all.

[pride_outbreak]

"No one's provoking you, if anything, I'd say that considering how you seem to have encountered most of the people here in a rather confrontational way, people seem to be willing to put that aside and include you in all this talk don't you think?"

After all, people with less attitudes have been left behind in other cases back when the outbreak back home started. So she thinks he's pretty lucky in that regard.

[cicadashell]

"Who wants to be included in this?"

He gestures at the room. This is not anything he wants to be a part of, but he thinks it would have caused more problems if he didn't show up.

"I don't know what you want here; just get to the point if you have one."

[pride_outbreak]

"You really are dense aren't you?!"

He really was starting to get on her nerves.

"If you really want to die that bad, go and continue being the lone idiot. Do you think you have any chance of surviving this place by yourself, let alone once we're out there?" Because if he did, he was a special kind of stupid and Saya would leave it there.

[cicadashell]

"I'm not gonna die because I don't play well with the rest of you, unless you're planning to kill me yourself."

He's always had issues asking for help, and he won't do it until he has absolutely no other choice.

[pride_outbreak]

"No, I think you'll do a great job of it yourself." she huffed back.

"I suppose I should forgo counting on you for anything the group needs."

The nerve! He was like annoying copy of her younger self, except stupid! Grrr!

[cicadashell]

"I've been here longer than you and I've already helped!"

He tries not to yell, but it gets a little loud by the end.

"You don't have to like me, but don't pretend I haven't contributed."

[pride_outbreak]

"I'm not saying you haven't you dork! I'm saying, we're getting to a point we should be working together, not being so stuck up and naive and giving attitude to everyone to try and prove... whatever the hell it is you're trying to prove!"

Oh no, voices are rising and she tries to steady herself by closing her eyes and gritting her teeth.

"Do whatever..."

[cicadashell]

Fuck, this girl is so annoying. He thinks she's exactly what she's calling him.

"What the fuck is this meeting if it's not working together!?"

He has not done anything but introduce himself and respond to her snippy comments.

[pride_outbreak]

"You--" Saya stops and narrows her eyes before closing them and taking a deep breath.

"Nevermind, I see the type you are. Do as you wish."

She could admit that she hadn't been the nicest either, but not openly and not now.
