Argh, why am I so mad?!

I didn’t even like her! She was pretty, alright, but finest girl I’ve ever courted? Might have thought that before, when I hardly knew her, but that was wishful thinking! Jeez, what a lie! And how does a princess end up so frigid and selfish? Does my world just crank out defective princesses constantly?

I didn’t even like her and I’m actually mad. She picked some moron over me.

She picked. Some. Moron. Over. Me.

She.

Picked.

Some.

Moron.

Over ME.

ME!

I can name probably a hundred girls I’m more interested in (gee, how CONVENIENT that they're not here) and not a SINGLE one is that stupid or that frigid or that boring. You know that all she ever wanted to do was take walks? What’s the point in taking a walk here -- can’t go far! And when she didn’t want to take walks, she wanted to sit around and sneak glances at SOME MORON and pretend I wasn’t onto her.

Well, guess what?

I was on to her. It’s pretty hard to live in the same one-room building as someone and not notice that they don’t really like you, and, in fact, prefer the company of trash.

So now, in my only chance at life, I’m living in a house that Mr. Ego and Ms. Rebellion chose, I have to room with Prince Loser, I have to see That Moron’s smug little face every day and resist the temptation to kick his scrawny butt, and get all these pitying looks. I get iced in place if I try to leave. They’ll probably lock me in a closet if they know I talk to Kylie and send messages to May. And then Yue ignores me or looks like she’s going to cry in fear or something.

Well, she deserves that. She SHOULD cry. She SHOULD feel bad that she, you know, went against her father, and her tribe, and all of her people, just because she wanted the moron and not me, when I’m great and could have given her anything she needed.

But noooo. People here have to teach her their weird, ridiculous ways, coax up some defiance from her. Teach her how to act like a rube and not care about society and stuff. To ignore her duties just because she has some stupid crush on an idiot.

Well, guess what? She’ll get over him, and he’ll move on to some other stupid, vapid girl, and she’ll be heartbroken and whiny and come crawling back to me, and then I’m going to be obliged to take her back because, well, she’s my princess, and I’ve got a duty and because I’m a sucker for girls like that anyway.

Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

STUPID.

And now Cuzco’s back and he’s all la-de-da happy about being back, even if everything broke while he was gone, and they’re going to do that thing they’re so good at: ignore the people who aren’t their best buds forever, the ones they’re traveling the world with on some EPIC QUEST or something...

Why don't I get friends here? I have lots of friends back home. I'm really popular back home. But no. People like Cuzco get their whole circle and their family, while I get some disloyal fiancée who makes me a cuckold before we're even married. What makes them so special, huh? What makes them so important that they get everything from enemies to best friends to family while I get jack all?

So stupid. So, so stupid.

I really, really hate this place.

I think, after falling off a warship and plunging to my doom in the icy waters a couple hundred metres below, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. And you know? Not much can top this.

So I'm going to bring this up reasonably this time, so I don't get frozen or yelled at or something:

I want to leave. I don't want to live with you guys. At this rate, there's no real point in me staying here, other than avoiding a quick and fiery death. You invited Yue here, we were a package deal at the time, now we're not, I don't think I'm welcome and I don't really care.

Way I see it? She'll only kill us if we're a part of the group. And if she kills me anyway? Well, I'll be back in two weeks, and let's not kid ourselves, it's not like I'll really be missed.

So... yeah. I want to leave.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Zuko just got back and everything. You think he'd actually let you leave? And Katara, too.

I know that.

Hence telling them, instead of getting roasted or frozen again or something.

{GAAAH conflicted. He kind of wants Hahn to leave, but also feels bad for being mean to him.}

.... there's other reasons to stick together besides the potential to be barbequed? {nervous 'eheh'}

Like?

Hahn, can I talk to you in private?

If you insist.

[leads him to somewhere private]

Hahn, no one wants you to leave. Why are you being like this?

[obviously very frustrated]

I don't want to stay here.

I know why you're angry, but do you think doing this would be best?

The last thing Yue wanted to do was hurt you, but neither of you were happy. She did it for both of you. I'm proud of her, honestly, because no one should have to live in misery like that. This is her chance to be happy.

Can't you see that? It's your chance, too.

It doesn't matter that neither of us were happy! We were-- oh, screw this argument. I'm just... argh!

She went against her tribe. I mean, maybe you did the same thing, but at least you were coming over to the good side, not... taking away something that was going to make the tribe really happy.

And she picked that idiot. Over. Me.

I find it really hard to understand you sometimes, but I've tried looking at this from you point of view. Honor has always been important to me and I thought about this... and maybe this is what honor is to you. Your duty. To have that taken away doesn't exactly give you a good feeling, so I get it. I get you, Hahn.

She did it for herself, overall. Sokka is a good guy, Hahn. He'll take care of her. I know he will. You should be happy that she isn't going to end up with some loser who won't treat her right.

... [still irritated]

Well, it IS my duty, and I don't want to give that up just because... look, this place is so different. This place is the farthest thing from our tribe. Everything's different, absolutely everything.

Good guy? Anyone who disrespects a branch of his own culture isn't a good guy. And she wouldn't have ended up like that if she had just stayed with me, because that's what was planned and it was going to be good.

What's so bad about me, huh?

I never said you were a bad guy either. You're not Sokka and Sokka isn't you. You're a good guy, Hahn. You believe in your values... and... Uh, that's good. I think in a way I can respect you because of that but at the same time, I don't believe in it. I respect you but I can't agree with you. I'm sorry.

I know you want to do your tribe proud but like you said, this place is different. Why keep yourselves unhappy? Haven't... haven't you found things here that make you happy?

Everyone's culture is different, Hahn. Tradition is what we base our lives on but it shouldn't be something we revolve our lives around. Things change over time. Our world is always growing and so are our customs. Sokka isn't a bad guy for putting happiness before tradition. Have you ever thought that maybe that's his honor?

Hahn, enough is enough.

No one wants you to leave this house, and no one wants you to get hurt.

[heaved sigh]

Whatever. Shouldn't you be off playing with your new boyfriend, or something?

I don't have a boyfriend.

Yeah, I bet he's your fiancé now or something.

He's nothing of the sort.

Will you stop bothering him, now?

What makes you think I even want to see his ugly mug, let alone talk to him?

Don't say that.

Why won't you just give him a chance? You refuse to get to know him, and that upsets me.

Oh, so now you're upset? Well excuuuuse me, Princess, I'll watch what I say from now on. Wouldn't want to offend you, now, would I?
