Just write her thoughts into it. Reading that scene from Azula's point of view will just make it all the more interesting.

Sigh. I had written up a response and accidentally tabbed out. But what Advocaat said; less focus on the external events and more on the internal. You might have to tweak it a big, by making it more about her than Zuko. Maybe start it off with a sort of "Azula had never understood the purpose of duelling for honour..."

Okie dokie! Here's my question. The title of my fic is "The Journey", thus, they will be going on a journey. So my question is how long it should last? I mean realistically, or semi-realistically since this IS fanfiction (XD) - how would do you think the Fire Lord would be able to stay away from the palace while having someone run things in his stead for the time being? I am trying to plot out the journey, what will happen when, etc. I've got about half planned but I need to figure this part out to plan out the rest! Thoughts?

If Iroh's in charge, Zuko could probably afford to be gone for 3-6 months, even a year depending on how you write it. Of course I can't say anything because in The Fifth Column Zuko is gone for two years. ;P

That's TOO long .XD But a few months possibly. @@ It's a very important journey but I'm not sure how long it would take. I want it to be just long enough, ya know? But it would likely be Iroh in charge. Just because it's Iroh and who else would he trust to lead things in his absence?

I think it depends on the situation in the firenation during your fic. is it volatile? stable? is Iroh in the picture? in my imaginary idea of plausibility, Zuko's chance for trips away from the firenation looks like this:
if it is stable and Iroh is in the picture - then I can realistically see a 3-6 months being possible.
if it is volatile and a bit chaotic - and there's Iroh - less time, maybe 1-2 months.
if it is volatile and chaotic and Iroh is off making friggin tea in Ba Sing Se - like one week, if Zuko's lucky. Zuko buggering off would be like leaving an ADHD child with a box of matches near fireworks. you just know shit is going to go down.

XDD Iroh IS in the picture. XD Bahaha. He is not going to be off in Ba Sing Se during this. XD he will not abandon his nephew. XD I suppose semi-stable. Somewhere inbetween. Not chaotic, but not totally chill. And not quite volatile but not as I said, totally stable either. I'm trying to figure out how long it would seemingly take for this to happen. I like to know how long they'll spend in each place, how long it'll take period and all that. It helps to know, especially because I intend to make this a series, this being the first. Thus a timeline is of importance so I don't write myself into a corner/confuse myself and my readers. XD
