Subject: Azula, Saguru Hakuba
Table: A
Prompt: 001- Evidence
Azula stands with one hand on her hip, the other resting on her desk. With each point she makes, she taps the desk once with her long, sharp fingernails.
"One: you paraded around bragging about all the Fire Nation secrets that you might have uncovered. Two: you told me exactly where you were storing all of that information, and three: you refused to allow me to examine it. On the basis of national security alone, that is more than enough reason to have you arrested and--"
"Kidnapped."
She stops, annoyed at having the flow of her argument ruined. "No."
Hakuba smirks. "Yes."
Azula turns to face him, crossing her arms over her chest. "This is ridiculous. I told you that I would give you a detailed, reasonable explanation for why I did what I did, but only if you didn't try to start that idiotic 'kidnapped versus arrested' argument again."
The detective imitates her pose. "I wasn't the one who used the wrong term, Princess."
"Fire Lord," she snapped.
"I wasn't the one who used the wrong term, Fire Lord."
She waves a hand dismissively. "I don't care what term you want to use-- the fact remains that I had more than enough justification."
"You didn't, and it was still a kidnapping."
Azula rubs the bridge of her nose. "Just get out."
"Because you can't think of a good enough argument?"
"Because killing you would probably be more trouble than it's worth, but the more you talk the less convincing the rational part of my brain sounds."
"We're going to be arguing about this until we're eighty years old, aren't we."
Azula makes a face. "Let's just hope you'll be dead by then."
