Third Floor Common Room, Late Wednesday Morning

[vanillajello]

Kate hadn’t slept well, and was feeling pretty cranky. As a result, she didn’t really feel like dealing with people. She wouldn’t have come into the common room at all if she hadn’t thought that something there was going to make her feel better.

Namely, the vanilla jello pudding cups she’d bought the day before and stored in the common room fridge for the night.

And which she couldn’t find anymore. Because just half an hour earlier, little blue men had taken them with them.

”Who the fuck stole my pudding?!” It was safe to say that Kate was not happy.

Oh, yes, he did. That's because he was her brother.

"I don't usually walk around in this state of undress," Leto pointed out. Only in canon. "As I said, my shirts were stolen. You're Azula, am I right?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Azula said, careful. "How do you know me?"

[future_sandworm]

"You've been to the Reserves. And Dinah mentioned you," he told her. "I'm Leto Atreides."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's why he was familiar.

"What's your relation to Professor Atreides?"

[future_sandworm]

He smiled a little. "She's my twin."

Azula stared at him for a second.

He didn't seem to be lying but the age gap was impossible to reconcile. It's not--- No, it's not exactly true. This was Fandom people from different worlds coexisted here. Sometimes people originated from different times too.

People changed into animals for Agni's sake. This would be the least surprising incident of all.

She raised an eyebrow, "I do see a resemblance."

[future_sandworm]

"So I've been told," he replied, amused by her response.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Azula said, moving her hand negligently. "Aren't you going to do anything about your shirtless state?"

[future_sandworm]

"I'm going to buy new shirts," he replied, deliberately misunderstanding her. For now, he might pull a cloak or a blanket over his shoulders if he got cold.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Azula only raised an eyebrow, "It's your health."

[future_sandworm]

Leto smiled at her. "Yes, it is."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"I assume you also do the speed blur thing your sister demonstrated? Or is she the only talented member of your family?"

[future_sandworm]

He had to laugh again. This girl was amusing. "Yes. Yes, I do. Why?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Doesn't react to baiting and a curious sense of humor. She cataloged this before answering with a drawl. "Nothing, just curious."

[future_sandworm]

"Anything else I can tell you to satisfy your curiosity?" Leto offered, hiding a smirk.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm sure your sister can fill me on other things I might be curious about," she returned, unconcerned.

He was smirking, she did it often enough to recognize the signs. Azula leaned her head on her fist. "So, are you just here to show of your chest or did you have a purpose in going here?"

[future_sandworm]

"I thought breakfast was purpose enough," he replied. "And yourself? I assume your reason for being here is not to look at me." Yes, he was still amused by the conversation.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Purpose enough," she leaned her head back. She didn't turn her eyes away, he was the one walking without a shirt not her. "I was hoping for rest after my training. You were never in the agenda."

[future_sandworm]

"So, what do you train?" Leto asked. He didn't necessarily mind the looking, but it did contradict her complaining a little.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

She hadn't been complaining, she'd been observing. She doubted he could keep quiet if a woman walked in shirtless.

"Shaolin Kung-fu Firebending," Azula answered. "Some hand-to-hand."

[future_sandworm]

Oh, he could, but he might choose not to.

"Firebending? I haven't heard of it," Leto replied. "But we could spar sometime if you like."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"I'll be at a disadvantaged with your speed," Azula answered. She'd fought the Avatar, he was an Airbender but these Atreides could give the Avatar a run for his money.

Of course it will lead to this question, "I create and manipulate fire. It's not magic."

[future_sandworm]

"You can learn from being at a disadvantage," he said. "How do control fire?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps but not at the moment," Azula said, "I like to study how things work before I proceed."

"I'm Fire Nation, people born from the Fire Nation have the potential to create fire. But not all Fire Nation can."

[future_sandworm]

"Your choice," he said, then nodded. "So, a genetic ability?"
