A few minutes pass and the carriage is still in the harbor town, the views outside grow duller as the situations repeat themselves in one way or another, though every time you see a tea parlor, a little something in your head nags you. Maybe Iroh would like some tea from the capital. Ginseng from the home island, perhaps?
You look at the maid who still does not dare look up. As young as you but obviously well trained, it’s likely that training is all she ever did, considering she was assigned to accompany you.
“What makes a person valuable?” You ask outright.
The question comes as a shock to the maid, who looks up at you for an instant before returning her gaze to the carriage’s floor. “My lady?” She utters hesitantly.
“Answer the question.” You insist.
“In what sense?” She continues with another question, her voice echoing doubt.
“Do I have to repeat myself? Just answer the question.”
She sits there and ponders. You see a hand reach for her hair, which is gathered in a ponytail that reaches down to her torso, but she stops it. Nervousness. “I…” She seeks the words, “I think… their willingness to do what they must.”
“And what must they do?” You pry further.
“In my case, defend you, princess.” She responds with a more confident tone. “What about you? What do you think makes a person valuable? What do you think is best?” Her dark brown eyes pry into yours for that instant, their darker shade indicating low birth. A slight, friendly smile appears on her lips.
>Answer her question.
>Stop her dead in her tracks. Only you get to make questions.
>Write-in.

Well anons, do you want a non-canon character to join up with Azula? Picked up this picture from a fanon wiki just in case.
