dear_mun | "Tea Party" my ass!

[ okay, so, maybe having all that "tea" had been a bad idea. but whatever she's fine just... don't make any loud noises. or flash bright lights... ]

It's "Lady" Asami now?

[He isn't the type. He may be superior at hiding it, but he's still feeling his hangover and totally sympathetic.]

Only for the sake of addressing you to others.

Besides, you will always be a proper lady in my eyes.

[You need to stop that flirting Iroh. It defeats all attempts at pretending to just be a really cool big brother.]

[ teach her your ways, sensei... she's had a few glasses of wine every now and then, but that had been her first experience with hard liquor. she's surprised she remembers as much as it as she does. ]

I'm glad you can still say that, after last night. [ because she certainly remembers enough to feel quite embarrassed. ] I.. think I owe you an apology or two.

Don't. I invited you for the express purpose of helping you relax. True,I didn't expect you to curse as much as us soldiers could.

[Or being flirted with then being called a jerk so much, but eh!]

You had everyone quite charmed though. I have to apologize for how bawdy my limericks became. [Even if he only remembered the punchlines to most of them.]

[ it's.. a very delicate time for her okay! and it was the first time she'd seen him out of his military uniform. it was ... shocking. ahem. ]

I promise I'm not usually so obnoxious. I didn't think the whiskey would affect me that much. But as for the limericks, don't worry, please. My dad was protective, but I wasn't that sheltered. They were cute. [ more like he was cute trying to remember them, but details... ]

[He laughs and there may. just. be...a little bit of blush happening.]

I think we both agree that we were either both equally cute or equally obnoxious. I know that I will probably just get a bunch of little snickers and verbal pokes from my yeoman.

[He gives her a quick one armed hug.] It really was a delight to see you relaxed and happy. I mean it...um...just...while I don't mind anybody knowing I find you attractive, don't let the certain other party we discussed last night know how I feel about his physique.

[ ahh.. and so she hadn't made that part up after all. how cute. ]

I don't know, General... he is a pretty good friend of mine. [ it's hard not to tease him when he makes it so easy. ] Maybe next time we should invite him, and he can find out all on his own.

[Yup. It did happen and he is blushing to his ears now.]

If anything, it will be amusing to watch me strike out with him. [Chuckles] It seems to be my luck I'm awkward in that area.

[ speaking of awful luck in that area...

asami just sighs, reaching up to give him a pat on the back. ]

Don't sell yourself so short. You're an amazing catch, and Bolin's always been a pretty open-minded guy. You never know.

[Now now, none of that. He likes you just as much. He just isn't worried he's going to have an epic fail.

He kisses her temple.]

Mm. We'll have to see. I've already told you that I would rather both of you happy either way.

[ are you insinuating she is easier than bolin, general? tut tut, she is a lady. ]

Maybe we're all just equally hopeless in that matter, then.

[Foot, right into his bracketed mouth. Not easy. At least not in the bad way. Or something. ]

Three hopeless people going out for drinks. I fail to see how this could go wrong.

[ /FRYSQUINTS... ]

Your optimism's endearing, General. But maybe this should be a quiet, secluded thing. At least the first time. You know - for the sake of our reputations.

[ well. hers and iroh's, anyway. bolin's probably wouldn't be all that dented. ]

Mm. Then I definitely will have to plan a private "tea party". Maybe just none of my officers this time.

[Not alcoholics! Just in need of a little liquid courage sometimes.] If we can manage it, anyway.

[ even team avatar needs to unwind, okay. ]

It'd be nice to reconnect. We all haven't really hung out since Korra got her bending back... And I'd like to hear more about the military life. In case plans with Future Industries doesn't pull through, it's nice to have a plan B.

I think they will, but I would be honored to have you on my ship.

[ yeah, so would several of his men... ]

Do you think I'm cut out for the life, General? I'm sure my father would be appalled that I'm even considering it. [ though he's not exactly her biggest fan right now anyway. ]

Hardest thing I would say, after basic training of course, is the long periods when you don't see land. Although if you ask somebody else they may give you a different answer.

[He tugs on a lock of her hair with a grin.] I think you would be very good at it though. Whether you work with the machines, or fight against pirates beside us.

[ she thinks it over, only momentarily distracted by that playful tug on her hair. she slides a smirk towards him, playfully nudging his side with an elbow. ]

I think it might be nice, getting away for a while.
