[even years after joining AX and needing to become at least conversationally competent in the various languages of that world, Azula still isn't convinced that it's not a waste of time-- it would be so much less complicated if everyone spoke the same language, the way she had in her original universe]

[but waste of time or not, it's still the way things are, and she still spends quite a bit of time practicing-- and it's been a long time since she's used the community for that purpose]

How young?

[embersandashes]

Four or so.

[notmynature]

Whoa, that's super young. You really started to swim that young?

[embersandashes]

I did. My family used to vacation by the sea.

[notmynature]

Vacation, huh? What was it like?

[embersandashes]

It isn't something I think about much anymore.

[notmynature]

...Because you don't want to?

[embersandashes]

Because it's a part of my life that doesn't exist anymore.

[notmynature]

People always leave. [They don't always die but they do always leave.] Sometimes, we just got the memories.

[embersandashes]

Sometimes those memories aren't worth keeping.
