Gladiator, Chapter 211: The Spirit Library 2

Azula sighed and resolved silently to leave the two bickering scholars to their business. Still, as she guided her gladiator towards the door, the anthropologist stopped her, disregarding any notion of protocol or propriety by reaching for her arm.

"Uh, excuse me?" Azula said, blinking in disbelief at the contact between the man's hand and her body.

In the blink of an eye, Sokka strode closer and separated Zei's hand from Azula with a prominent scowl. Zei smiled guiltily, although he hardly seemed more nervous now under a threatening glare than he had earlier.

"I'm sorry, I suppose I shouldn't have done that, but I wished to ask you…" he said, bringing his hands together before bowing deeply towards them "If you were to find anything, any signs of the Library, I beg you… please, share your discoveries with me!"

Azula and Sokka eyed the man with uncertainty. As inappropriate as he might have been in some ways, and as lacking in certain areas of decorum, he certainly appeared far more sincere about investigations and research than the other two. Even so…

"I suppose it wouldn't be much trouble to do so, but I can't promise we'll find anything at all" Azula said "I'm willing to try, doesn't mean I'm expecting to succeed, so… don't hold your breath"

"That's enough for me" said Professor Zei, smiling as he rose to his full height again "Thank you! The best of luck on your travels!"

"Uh-huh. Just remember to keep your hands to yourself if we ever cross paths again, buddy" Sokka said menacingly, as he stood near Azula by the lounge's door.

"  i was there, laurel.  i saw him dead.  and you could’ve died too.  and then i lied to your face all that time.  i hate myself more than you could ever hate me  ..  if that makes you feel any better.  ” 

“  it doesn’t.  ”

“  what can i do to make it better?  ”

“  you can’t.   none of us can.  he’s gone.  and it’s not your fault,  so stop hating yourself.  ”

“  i can’t.”

“  fine,  but you owe me,  and you have to do what i say,  so at least try.  ”
