[katoliska] Rock and a hard place
Azula hit the ground with an 'oof'. Of course, falling at the blonde woman's feet wasn't the confusing part. The confusing part was that she'd fallen at the blonde's feet literally out of nothing. She hadn't been there a second ago, but then a centipede monster had appeared out of nothing, dropped the girl, and faded away as quickly as it had come.
Azula looked like hell. She was dressed in a robe that didn't look all that dignified (some ancient Chinese re-imagining of a hospital gown?)...her hair was matted and dirty...and most of all, the girl looked like she hadn't had a decent meal in months. That was why she'd made this bargain with Koh, her face, on her death, in exchange for her freedom. Unfortunately, being who she was, every nation in her world and the Avatar as well would hunt her to the ends of the earth for having broken out of the asylum she had been imprisoned in. The only solution was to bring her to an alternate reality, if Koh wanted to make good on his end of the deal and keep her safe from being dragged back to the asylum again.
That left one former, fallen Fire Nation Princess on the ground, and nothing to explain where or how she'd come from.
"Where am I?" she demanded in a language that would sound, to Mello's ears, like Chinese.
