The acrobat grins, a hand rested under her chin. She's uncontrollably infatuated with one of the contraction workers.
The construction crew has been working on a new wing for the palace. They started about a month ago, and they're just beginning to finish today.
Mai sighs, watching her friend stare at the admittedly handsome girl. Even she has caught herself staring at the girl's muscles flexing beneath her shirt as she lifts heavier boxes than all the men on her team.
"Are you going to talk to her or continue to stare?" Azula finally breaks the silence.
The kinder woman flushes, ducking her head from her girlfriend's view. Yes, girlfriend, but it's a pretty open relationship.
The three of them are all tanning upon the Princess' balcony. Their all sweating due to the humid weather.
Mai snorts, "Just talk to her. Zuko says she's super sweet."
Ty Lee sits upon the balcony floor with attention, "What? Really? How?"
The fire bender huffs at the girl's stupidity, "He's the one who hired her. Zuko's Fire Lord now. Remember?"
After a few minutes of pushing and prodding at the poor girl, she finally musters up the courage to talk to the construction worker during her break.
The taller woman raises an eyebrow at the noble lady. She places her container of water down on a crate and wipes the excess with the back of her hand.
"How could I help you miss? Is there something you need?" She asks in a genuinely polite tone.
Ty Lee's heart swells at the older woman's smile. She looks so kind!
Her mind turns to mush, realizing she's been standing around for too long without saying anything.
"Uh-rail me?"
Both of her friends burst out laughing at her humiliation, leaning against each other for support. Azula slaps a hand over Mai's mouth, keeping her from making a snarky remark.
The acrobat's cheeks flush at her foolishness. She brings a hand up to her face in embarrassment.
Instead of receiving a nasty glare or an astounded expression, the toned woman throws her head back in a hearty laugh.
"Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment." Her lips curl into a warm smile.
"I'm sorry! That came out wrong!" Ty Lee belts.
She's usually so good with people. How did she become this much of a mess?
The laborer takes the gymnast's hands in hers, "Truly, it's okay. You've made my day, honestly."
She made sure her hands were clean before doing so. It would be rude to dirty a noblewoman.
An amused smirk settles upon Azula's lips. Her girlfriend's a total mess. Ty Lee gazes up at the construction worker, heart tightening in her chest deliciously.
A nervous giggle escapes her lips, leaning towards the woman holding her hands.
"As thanks for brightening up my pretty boring day, would you like to get some tea with me later? It'll be my treat." The construction worker offers with a kind grin.
It's times like this where Mai regrets having a boyfriend. She's sure Azula will somehow weasel her way in, leaving her to wait around for her very busy boy toy, Zuko.
Ty Lee nods enthusiastically, "I'd love to! When would you like to meet?"
The taller woman ponders on the thought, "How about at 7 later today? I finish work at 5, you could bring your friends too if you want? I don't mind paying for you all."
The acrobat is about to decline that specific offer, but Azula beats her to it. She wraps an arm around her girlfriend and grins regally.
"Sounds splendid." She purrs seductively.
"Cool. I'll see you guys then!" The laborer exclaims before walking back to the construction site.
All three women stare at her back figure, chewing on their lower lips.
Mai mumbles in a bored awareness, "We never got her name..."
