Thread: The Ice Queen and Fire Prince (Zellsantal and Alexis)

Zuko and Nail were not left alone for very long. A servant soon approached, standing tall and proud despite his status. Prince Zuko, sir. He said, snapping a short salute to the Prince. He eyed Nail momentarily, giving him a curt nod before turning his attention back to the Prince. Your father has requested your presence at once, sir. If it pleases you, I can have your things brought to your quarters in the meantime if you wish. He stood patiently with his arms at his sides awaiting Zuko's decision. He had been instructed to bring the Prince straightaway, however he would ultimately do whatever it was the Prince commanded of him. It wasn't long before the whispers in the streets reached the ears of the two waterbenders. Elsa had decided they would return to their inn in the meantime. They were passing by a small cluster of people when whispers of Prince Zuko caught their ear. Elsa stopped mid-step and walked back to approach the group, Alexis close on her heels. The whispers ceased as the group nudged each other and nodded in her direction, muttering something about outsiders and the water tribe. Pardon me, Elsa began, addressing no one in the group in particular. Did I just hear you mention something about Prince Zuko? Has he arrived? Aye, he has. One of the group spoke up from the back. She pushed forward a bit so she was in view, revealing a worn-out looking brunette. Arrived just a few hours ago. One of the group started muttering something about not trusting foreigners but was promptly struck in the back of the head. Are you daft? Said the man who smacked him. Do you know who that is? That's Elsa, of the Northern Water Tribe! Show some damn decency man. The others muttered in agreement and the accused backed off defensively. Alexis ignored the outburst, bringing the conversation back to the Prince. Thank you for the information, Miss. She said, addressing the first woman. Do you happen to know if he's still down at the docks? But the woman just shook her head, saying she had no idea. They thanked the group and moved on, exchanging grins as they walked away. Once they were far enough away they stopped to chat. Alexis noticed right away how nervous Elsa looked and called her out on it. Hey, what's up girl? Why are you looking so down? I thought you'd be excited! I mean that's why we came down here isn't it? I know, I know. Elsa said, biting her lip nervously. But he's been gone for a whole year Lexi. What if he doesn't care to see me? Oh, please, Alexis said, dismissing her concerns as if they were nothing. As if he could forget that ass. She gave her a wink and slapped her ass, causing her cheeks to go crimson. After she regained some of her composure, Elsa suggested they check the Palace first. She highly doubted that Zuko would loiter around the docks for too long. He certainly wasn't the type to stay idle. Upon arriving at the gates they were greeted by a rather... Unwelcome welcome party. Azula stood watching them approach with some armed guards watching the gate behind her. Oh no, Elsa said, dreading the coming meeting, Not that witch. Alexis agreed with her sentiment, and they took a deep breath to calm their nerves before approaching. Elsa stepped forward confidently, stopping a few steps from Azula. A pleasure to see you, as always, Miss Azula. She said with a slight nod of the head. Alexis - who was of lower ranking, bowed slightly at the waist for a moment, never taking her eyes off Azula in the process.
