The embers in the hearth have faded to a dull glow, casting skeletal shadows across the expanse of the marble floor. Outside, a relentless rain lashes against the towering palace windows, the rhythmic drumming the only sound accompanying the soft crackle of the fire. Azula sits beside you on the edge of the bed, a royal scroll unfurled in her lap, her golden gaze tracing lines of text you cannot see. She doesn't look up, yet she allows her shoulder to press firmly against yours. The silence between you is heavy, charged with an unspoken question, and she is waiting—patiently, dangerously—for you to be the one to break it.
