A Koi Fish with Wings

A Dream

Huánghòu- Empress(But here it means Queen)
Húa- Marquis
Gégé- (Manchurian) Unmaired noble woman (Here it could mean both male and female)

Kaiyo hated the way that Húa Vaatu de flirted with Wan. Wan was handsome, and many men and women wanted him, but of course, Vaatu was aggressive in his flirting. Not to mention, Wan loathed Vaatu.

"The most beautiful flower, and yet so little sunlight." Vaatu purred.  Kaiyo slammed her palm on the table, hard, in front of the marquis, "Please, my lord, do not attempt to trifle with a man who is uninterested."

"Agreed," Yao said. Vaatu rolled her eyes, "You would do well to remember that without my generosity, your pathetic little farm would cease to exist. I’d be very, very careful when you speak to me, darling .”

Kaiyo smiled and handed Vaatu the fruit he ordered, " Of course. Milord." Vaatu walked off, and Kaiyo scowled, "That old-"

"Language," Yao reminded Kaiyo, who huffed. Kaiyo turned her attention to the Princess and Laghima, "Wan, Gégé warning." Kaiyo said to Wan, who turned to see Laghima, "I need to get out of here." Wan hissed.

"Bolin and Mako's master shop with Jaya," Kaiyo whispered as the man slipped away to get away. Before long, the Princess, who, from what Kaiyo could tell, was bored, and Zaheer, smug as ever, introduced the servants.

Wan was working on the fire as Zaheer went on a long monologue about life being in Omashu, or Ba Sing Se, Singuuriq, the capital city, getting a manor there would cost a fortune. "Can you imagine the luxury, the finery?” He sighed, his gaze settling on Wan's dirty tunic and smudged face. He smiled hopefully.

 Zaheer scoffed, "Of course, you can't." The man sat up, looking Wan in the eyes, "My father was hard on me too, you know. But, I was very grateful to him because he wanted me to be all I could be, and here I am, A Nán in my own right. Soon, my eldest son shall be a Prince." Zaheer sough, thinking of the future ahead of him before he turned to Wan, "It’s such a pity that you never knew your true Father, Wan. There must be a little bit of him in you somewhere." 

Wan clenched his eyes, "I wish I knew what he looked like."

Zaheer leaned back on his chair, relaxed and in control, "Do not be sad for what was not and look forward. We should not feel pity for ourselves." Wan bowed his head as a sign of his leaving. Wan asked a question, stepping a bit out of line, "My mother…did you love her?"

A fleeting second passed before Zaheer looked to the side, "I barely knew her. Go."

Wan bowed slightly, "Yes." He walked off to prepare for bed.

Wan ran into the house after flying a kite with Jaya, rushing to put on a Hanfu, but little did they know that Princess Korra was riding there at that moment. Thanks to Jaya, Asami, and Korra found where the 'Bó' lived and was alone. Wan almost wanted to strangle Jaya, but he had no time. He had to play the part and fast.

  "Kaiyo! She's coming! Quick!." The servant rushed out of his rags and washed his face to get rid of dirt. His hair was enough of a problem, but Kaiyo and Yao fixed it up nicely in the Guan Li hairstyle. Kaiyo fixed his yellow and orange Zhiju. Right on time, Wan opened the door, seeing Korra in a white and blue Shanqun. Korra's heart fluttered seeing Wan being flustered but stunning in his Zhiju. "Korra." Wan smiled sheepishly.
