Chapter 12 A demon dressed in blue

Shoto(pov)
Shoto drank his tea, while he heard Azula vent on about her frustration. "It's like he asking me to set him on fire. Literally he knows that his turn to clean the house. Yet he very obviously lies to my face and say that it's not and that attitude. He is basically wearing a sign saying hurt me. I should be given a prize for putting up with him." Azula said exasperated. Shoto refill her cup, which she drinks gracefully.

"Hmm to be fair, considering that we went behind his back and caused a prison riot without him. I think he has good grounds to act petty." Shoto said as he placed his cup on the table. "I beg to differ, we literally broke into top secret information centers, mansions and heck we even snuck into ember island that one time without him." Azula said with clear frustration.

"And yet when he found out all those other times. No problem, but yet when we leave the house for a prison riot. He's driving us up the walls. Make that make sense." Azula said as she harshly placed her tea cup on the table. "To be fair in his defense, we at least told him before we left. This time we just left without notice." Shoto stated. "Counter argument we left without telling him couple of times before. And he seemed just alright with us going on our own adventure." Azula argued.

"Well the distinguishing difference between those times and this one is that, we left to free people from the prisons. People that we care about, including him. How would you feel if zuko and I left to free Tyro and the others without you ?" Shoto pointed out. Azula's mouth turned into a thin line. "It would make you feel useless and a liability." Shoto added. "Logically it shouldn't matter, they got to be free either way." Azula logically told him.

"True mathematically that's all correct, but seeing this emotionally you start noticing the cracks." Shoto said blankly. "Why should it matter ? It's done its over. He shouldn't be concerning over this. It's pointless and stupid. He is being a dum dum again." Azula remarked. "Lala true you may think our brother is an idiot. Which I will not fault you on. But you must consider that he is in the phase of his life. Where people are prone to their most impulsive and emotionally driven actions. And he is already very emotional as he is." Shoto explained to her.

"So what should I do tell him to stop being an emotional wreck ?" Azula sarcastically retorted. "You can start by being more empathic." Shoto instructed her. "How would that help my current situation ?" Azula asked. "It doesn't, but it might save you a lot of grieve in the future. So at least can give it a try ?" Shoto advised her. Azula sat in silence before giving her response. "Fine I will give it a try sho-sho." "That's all I ask." He said as he got up from seat.

"Well I am off to talk with zuko." Shoto said before he left. He walked out of the room and into the hallways. He marched onto to the direction of zuko's room. Up until he heard a slight splash and he turned his head to the direction of the sound. And saw zuko sat cross-legged on a boulder. While chucking stones across the surface of the lake. With a expression of boredom on his face.

Shoto turned around and walked to the bridge over the water until he reached the others sides. He walked abit further and then took a seat beside zuko. Who ignored his presence as he chucked another pebble at the water. "Hmm you know you will eventually run out of pebbles to throw." Shoto calmly stated. "Then I will break a boulder to make more." Zuko retorted. "True but eventually you will run out of blouders too." Shoto said to him.

Zuko's shoulder slumped down and he gave a glance at his older brother. "Why are you here ?" Zuko asked. "To talk with you." Shoto said simply. "Well you have done that, now you can leave." Zuko retorted to him. "Zuko talked to me. What's bothering you ?" Shoto asked. "What's bothering me is that how could you just leave me and go on the whole prison break. I could've helped too. I could've been an assest." Zuko stated as he chucked a massive rock across the pond.
