After you get the squadron of soldiers in masks ready, you bring the now slightly warm Fruit Tarts to Zuko's room. You were wrapped up in so much thoughts that you forgot to knock and stumbled into the room. What was wrong with your manners today? The crown prince was changing into his armor. Your eyes widen and you stumble backward, hoping he didn't see you enter. You are about to close the door when a knife comes flying at you. Your instincts kick in and you catch the knife, one handed. Unlucky for you, the knife sliced your palm and you felt the warm trickle, and the metallic smell of blood. You drop the knife, blinking back tears and a yelp. The second knife comes so fast, you don't have time to register it. This time you duck, but the knife gets your hair and it tumbles loose upon your shoulders. "I- I'm sorry my p- prince-" you manage to get out. You look up and see the crown prince, Zuko, looking back at you with a scowl. But this time, there's a gleam to it, as if he regretted what he had done. You push aside the thoughts and stammer, "Here's the f- fruit tart- tarts you've asked f- for, my prince." Your face turns a light shade of red but you're not blushing. You're so embarrassed that you stammer, when you're the best soldier here. He calms down enough (Even though he's never calm) to say, "Fine! Just put them down here and get out!" You set them down and see a glimmer of recognition on his face. You bow once more, feeling the golden eyes on you, and leave the room.
