Summary
"Azula please! Don't go! I can help you! I want to help you! "
If she didn't know better she might actually think he was telling the truth.
She stops, turns around, thinks that was probably a bad idea. (he doesn't want to help her, she knows, of course she knows)
(doesn't she?)
"Same as always Zuzu. Even when you're strong, you're weak. "
It comes out as more of a sob than an insult — but she thinks it hurts all the same. She sees his face fall, and the hurt shining through his golden eyes. She would have smiled, but the movement could cause the tears — those obstinate tears — to spill, and she can't risk crying, not now, not in front of Zuko.
She turns around and disappears into the forest, covering her mouth with her hand.
He runs after her.
Zuko chases Azula after she runs away because why not. Also it is raining for the dramatic effect. That's it. That's why it's raining.
