The Royal Return (2)

Ty Lee may want to get drunk... to gather herself for something else since she would leave for Phoenix City tomorrow but others weren't so eager to get buzzed. Of course, Nik and others would leave with her since they had pretty much made up their minds to end Ozai's reign of tyranny. Well, that was the general consensus...

Nik was in it for the prize he would get from Ozai's head, maybe let Ursa feel a breath of relief, too. Although the woman had grown considerably more intimate with Nik after 'that', they had yet to have another round of discussions but Nik hoped to learn more about Ursa directly from her before even going ahead and saying that he had the potential of tapping her and dipping out on a universal level probably. And honestly, even if he saw through the energetic, perpetually bouncing acrobat who'd grown more and more comfortable around him since he really never showed any kind of exhaustion when around her, Nik hoped to use this as a means to know more about Ursa and that meant— he wouldn't be taking no for an answer.

One thing to note, in these few days, was the fact that Zuko had grown considerably more comfortable around Aang. It kind of hurt Nik that after he had taken so much time to know the youth's sister and mother a little better, he would chummy up with the Avatar...

But Nik could empathize with it.

Even Tom-Tom acted weirdly around him, going as far as making things awkward by inquiring Michi if he should already start calling Nik his stepdad...

Still, training with Aang under Iroh's wing during the day allowed Zuko to find a new 'playmate' that did not form bursts of blue flames that could largely destroy many things in its path.

Thus, Nik and others saw two groups forming around one another and interconnected with each one.

Nik's Harem.

And Team Avatar, which had Zuko and Kei Lo as their newest addition.

And... finally, even if a little reluctant from his side seeing that Zuko would most likely explain whatever he saw in his personal space to Kei Lo, most probably, Nik still agreed to Ursa's request of letting him be around with his newer friends. Of course, Nik knew better than to just explain what his personal space was to the recent members.

He had no problem being honest about this with other members of Team Avatar, but nobody should be trusted in Ba Sing Se, that much Nik made very clear to Aang and others so even if the boy trusted Zuko, he also did not want to break Nik's trust and kept quiet about Nik's skills most of the time and his status as the otherworldly traveler.

But... things definitely seemed bleak for Team Avatar as the sausage fest with a single Rena looked at each other awkwardly. Well, things wouldn't have been awkward if not for Ty Lee wanting to get girls around Nik drunk and not everyone. Thus... they left the manor knowingly...

There was no place for them there.

To the village, they migrated.

And Zuko, strangely, only felt slightly numb. He wasn't an idiot. He knew what was going on the moment Ursa made an excuse that she had something to discuss with Michi. However...

"Nephew... are you alright?" As they walked towards the village, Iroh also brought in because why the heck not? The man gently patted Zuko's shoulder so that even if the youth was angry, he could contain that rage within and direct it to productive means. Others looked at Zuko, too, well-acquainted with his temper in these few days as he took not a SINGLE joke kindly.

"I am fine," Zuko gave a strained smile, "You and Katara helped me... not take my frustration out on the first person I feel like. And to be perfectly honest, I am happy that she found a... uh... strong and resourceful man... I just felt my life flashing in front of my eyes saying that..." It was true. More than women, Zuko was the one who felt the most complicated about Nik. Zuko respected his strength, envied his luck, and begrudgingly accepted Nik himself couldn't be blamed or vented on.

"See?" Sokka smacked the back of Tom's head, "This is the kind of attitude you should have, too."

The boy quickly grimaced and scoffed, "Oh, give me a break! Let's see when Nik sleeps with your..."

And then the boy came to a stunned silence. He looked around.

Aang had no family members left. Iroh was too old to have a mother with his only other sibling being a crazed king. Sun and Rena, too, had no one...

Sokka smirked as he knew Tom finally realized it.

Everyone with a female family member was on the same boat in Team Avatar.

"Anyway," Sokka, like usual, remained the bold guy he'd 'trained' to be and hugged Rena, "Don't you guys worry! All of you will find someone to share your life with and NOT feel awkward about our sisters and mothers finding a lover before us!"

Zuko and Tom-Tom blanched. Unlike the duo, Nik really did have a solid bond with Sokka and Aang who were also a lot more tolerable of Nik's antics.

"He's right," Rena smiled and cheered everyone, "I do like Sokka better than Nik for many reasons."

And Sun gave his two bits, too, "And I'm also in a relationship with a childhood friend of mine so it's not all that bad."

But Zuko seemed determined to pull everyone to his level of sourness and added gloomily, "The girl I liked, my childhood friend, got into a relationship with my sister... and now both of them are with Nik. Not to mention the girl I intended to ask out... is with them, too..."

Iroh closed his eyes. Even he couldn't say anything about Zuko's luck because the old Fire Lord admitted he was more like Nik than Zuko in his prime.

"That's..." Sokka's expression froze, "That's rough buddy..."

"Anyway..." Aang interjected with a strained smirk, "How about we race to the village? The last one pays for the dinner!"

"Of course, the slowest one pays the price..." Zuko remarked glumly, making Sokka roll his eyes as Rena muttered, "Way to suggest adding a firebender to the team..."

Sokka's lips twitched at that.

As always, Ty Lee never let the enthusiasm drop so the moment everyone was collected in the big living room with multiple flat cushions for many to sit on and chairs and tables prepared beforehand, the girl pumped her hand out in excitement as she beamed, "Looks like everyone's here! I wanted to take the night before we eventually leave with the circus—"

"Bah," June snorted as she sat on a chair with her right leg overlapping her left as a devilish smirk touched her lips painted a dark brown with her usual attire making her look far more prominent than others. She smacked the table and eyed Ty Lee who'd been wearing nothing but a tight dark red 'undergarment' that almost seemed tired of containing her breasts with her toned midriff exposed and a slightly baggy dark red harem pants that clung around the slope of her hips. As such, the girl intentionally exposed the 'V' edges of her crotch connected to her abdomen and thighs.

"Just bring out the booze and lose that top~! That's why we're here, right? To have fun~"

Ty Lee was dazed for a second but even if she blushed, she managed to smile a little brighter before pouting, "Nnn," letting out that puppy noise, Ty Lee straightened her back and brought her shoulders a little back to make her breasts jut out, "I'm serious! Boss Lu Kin wanted me to acquaint you all with a few rules."

Everyone, including Nik, who sat and let Ty Lee take charge had the urge to roll their eyes as Toph, the believer in direct actions crossed her arms beside June and cocked her head sideways as her feet rested on the table, "Do we need to hear these rules? I'm blind! But even I can see the bullshit from such a distance. Let's just drink and fu—"

"Toph!" Poppy groaned, "Proper ladies only think of these things but don't say it out loud." Poppy had pretty much given up on teaching Toph the etiquette of a noble lady... but she wouldn't let her daughter act so crass in front of her. What Toph did behind Poppy's back... or with Poppy on certain nights could, however, be rightly ignored.

"Now, how about we hear what Ty Lee has to say... we can take this chance to get to know each other... well, aside from me, of course. I think you all explored me pretty much everywhere." His words earned him beet red expressions and glares but ever the loyal 'wife', Michi hummed with her lips curling up as she nodded, "A wonderful idea. It's really hard to get together like this every now and then, so how about we appreciate dear Ty Lee's efforts and have a drink to calm our nerves."

"Well, someone could use it," Azula smirked in response as she looked at the slightly overwhelmed Ursa who was present in the 'group'.

"Of course, YOU of all people would think that," and sitting next to Ursa like another daughter, Jin narrowed her eyes, making Azula scoff.

"Uh..."

Ty Lee seemed somewhat at a loss of words. She did all this just to have a reason to 'fit' into the group better so that she can see some things for herself but as it turns out... adults with a reasonable interest in the situation itself did not need a 'lube' to get this party started...

Well, some did.

It didn't take long before a VERY happy June roughly placed a giant barrel of wine on the table, showing off her physical strength along the way as she had only trained further to keep up with the 'competition.'

And the party began just like that, much to Ty Lee's reluctance as she gave herself another look. It may not look like it, but she had given enough thought to her dress and wanted to look a little 'more' presentable. Noticeable.

Her glum expression morphed into surprise when Nik walked up to her, casually held her by the shoulder as he had gotten used to, and led her into the group, "I know you've been wanting to hear some exciting stuff so let me lead you to these sources and unlike what you might expect, it isn't June who'd have the most stories. She'd just want to plow you alongside me."

Ty Lee blushed a little as her gaze drifted over to June and realized that Nik was right. Although she hadn't done anything excessive, June loved to flirt whenever possible. She was always heavy on the compliments and her gaze was just so... predatory. Raw. Which only made Ty Lee wonder about the man holding her that had managed to tame such a raw 'animal.'

As if sensing her gaze, Nik turned to look at Ty Lee and smiled, "The one you really want to get drunk is Michi and Poppy. In fact, many of the girls talk to them and ask them about the stuff related to relationships, you know, the more responsible aspect of it as they were once... well, very accommodating wives."

Ty Lee nodded, her expression getting better as she looked around a bit and then inquired, "All of their aurae is so... expectant. Do they really expect you to... satisfy all of them in a single night?"

She'd only imagined his prowess. She had to. It was one of the main reasons why she was so interested in Nik from the get-go.

Catching Ty Lee by surprise, Nik leaned down to plant a chaste peck on her cheek with his hand tracing down her shoulder to her back and then her very firm but springy ass as he gave her cake a rather rough grab with his whisper the only thing marking her senses, "You're the one who helped set all of this. How about staying until the end to see if I can hold out or not?"

And even in the case he couldn't, there's always Mai who loves to plant her womb-shaped tattoos on every naked chick to have them squirting in a matter of seconds...

Now that Nik thought about it. He'd gathered quite the force around him.
