The Three girls had ended my selling of funnel cakes. To be fair I was making them with a funnel and a straw. They were selling really well and the guy who accepted my proposal made some decent cash. Except apparently according to both Ty Lee and Azula I wasn't allowed to sell funnel cakes. As they aren't approved by the circus and what the fuck is wrong with you, how do you even manage this.
We ended up back at the ship by night time. With Azula and Mai heading off to their rooms, Azula made me show Ty Lee to her room. Well I said made, but she just told me and I accepted it. So here I was bring Ty Lee to her room right next to Mai's.
"You didn't have to show me my room Orin." I shrugged, "It's fine Ty Lee, Azula is a smart cookie she probably thought you would want to talk to me since..." "Me and Mai knew her since we were kids while you got closer to her than us in that time."
I stared at Ty Lee, "Yeah anyway I had your room decorated since you weren't here to do it yourself." "I like it its soft, pink and warm feeling!" "I-Phrasing."
Ty Lee turned to me and looked at me with confusion. "Phrasing? What do you mean? Azula said you say a lot of strange things is this one of them?" I was a little unsure how to respond. "When I say phrasing I am referring to a double meaning in someone's phrasing. In your case the double meaning is uhhh... You know what Ty Lee do you purposefully flirt or are you actually clueless?"
"Well I mean sometimes I do it on purpose, other times I do it out of habit to get attention. I-" "Grew up with many sisters, yeah I get it an excuse for the need for attention standard sibling problems. I am more referring to how you are currently standing and do you not actually understand the double meaning of what you said."
Ty Lee looked down she was standing with her arms behind her back with her chest leaning forward. "Haha, sorry about that Orin. No I didn't mean to do that." I honestly didn't care since if I wanted to look I certainly would. Except I was more concerned about Azula's possible Jealousy.
<Ty Lee>
<Reputation 50/100>
<Affection 35/100>
<Inhibitions 40/100>
Her stats were interesting, she already had a pretty decent opinion of me. Better then Mai's opinion at least. I wondered what inhibitions effected. I hovered over the stat and got an explanation.
<The Inhibitions stat is based on the person's worries and exposure. If one were to have no inhibitions they might just strip naked in public.>
... If no inhibitions meant 0 what happens if it goes negative?I would say its best to just ignore Ty Lee's stats all together. Maybe... Let's just...
"Anyway I'm gonna scurry off." Ty Lee was going through the drawers of a shelf preparing to put her own clothes inside it. "before you go can I ask you some stuff?" I paused and sighed, "Sure, what do you want to ask?"
"Do you love Azula?" I had wondered what her questions would be, it seemed Ty Lee truly wanted her friend to be happy. "I do, but my feelings are far more complicated then that." "I understand, Azula can be mean. Though I admire her greatly, but I assume you know I also fear her?"
I was a little confused by Ty Lee's question or at least what she was leading to. "I do know that yes, where are you going with this?" "You have a strange aura, many people don't really get what I mean by that though. Its just a feeling I get from you. Mai has a very dingy aura do to her poor attitude, while Azula has a very sharp aura. When I look at you though Orin it feels... Otherworldly."
It hit me me like bricks, I understood where Ty Lee was going. it also made me question if her acupuncture martial art Chi blocking thing allowed her some special 6 sense. That might make a lot of sense actually... "So I assume you want to know what I want?"
"Yes I do, if Azula had come alone I would've rejected her. I was satisfied and content with preforming at the circus. If Mai came I would've thought about it longer and mostly still reject the both of them. Except not only did they both come they came dressed in a way I never thought I would see. On top of that you were with them. It was so strange to me, so I joined because I think, no I am sure things will be different from before." I nodded, that was more or less what I planned and figured would happen.
Ty Lee wasn't done though, "So Orin, what is it you want. Me and Mai are stuck with Azula because we fear her. We grew up with her and are families are connected due to politics. You however are different, you are here. Following her order to guide me to my room despite it being clear which is mine and where it is. I'm not the most observant, but you clearly have something more in mind than just..."
"Yeah Ty Lee I do, and its a complicated story and speech. So let's just keep it like that."
Ty Lee nodded, "You are a scary person Orin." Ty Lee then lead me out her room. Closing the door behind her.
"Weird..." I didn't have much to add for that. It seemed Ty Lee had a deeper personality than I thought. I'll note this down as a potential apology for her...Something something you aren't as shallow as I thought you might be? That sounded good, time for beddie bye though...
Man I gotta rethink how I phrase things. It would be bad to say something like that aloud. Can't ruin my street cred or I guess just normal cred...
"Let's just go to sleep."
-----Okay so I ended this on a personal joke, sometimes in real life I legitimately say Beddie Bye or Nighty Night Time. Just wanted to ask if other people say weird phrases for when they are going to sleep. Asking this because I am actually going to sleep after posting this...-----
