Azula braces herself, as if anticipating violence- but Najaran doesn't attack her. She just... holds her. Tightly. Urgently. Ignoring the uncontrollable plumes of fire that continue to flicker wildly from her skin.
...what-
For a moment, she simply freezes, and the flames that keep bursting from her skin seem to calm to a light blue vapor of smoke that gently curls off of her limbs. The searing light in her eyes gently recedes, though they remain unnaturally bright blue rather than her usual gold.
The calm lasts only a few seconds. And then a strange, stabbing panic sets in.
why-
She doesn't know why. Except that this already happened with Shealtiel, and she'd hurt him- she'd hurt Shealtiel- she couldn't control it- Monster- like that's anything new- All you your life- not helpful not useful shut UP- Sooner or later- don't say it- they all realize what you are- No. Then. They. Leave.
The panic and erratic heartbeat suddenly become intense, the stabbing pain giving way to an intense heat, a fire burning her up from the inside, and she screams in pain as she suddenly erupts in intense fire, covering her entire body.
With unnatural speed and strength, her arm lashes out and snatches Najaran's neck in her burning hand, wrenching her into the air with impossible power and holding her aloft. The flames lick up her arm, burning Najaran's neck in her grasp.
She snarls in fury, her voice unnaturally distorted and barely recognizable.
"I said... get... away."
After a few terrible moments, she hurls her back across the ground.
cw: Burns and choking
