"The official statement is that you've recovered from the worst part of your breakdown, and are continuing the healing process privately at an undisclosed location."
He didn't like that her own people thought she was crazy, and had tried his best to keep the rumors from getting out of hand. It would be a gamble to bring her home--it might encourage the remaining Ozai supporters to try to stage a coup (his prison was impregnable but if she were in power she could release him), and it would assuredly cause awkwardness with the other nations, but it was her home, and she was his sister, and to him that meant something. Pausing awkwardly and looking down at his tea, he continued.
"So if you... I guess that, I mean... you could come home. If you wanted to."

Azula smiled, mask matching her thoughts as she warmed the last of her tea with some gentle, invisible Firebending. "Well, I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to a visit one of these days, get reaquainted with any favorites your man can't import here, show a foolish friend where I come from assuming I can get a ride for us both," the former princess replied, tapping her lip slightly, "Oh... And help shore up my hapless brother's reign by stating I have no intention of going back to our Father's schemes or challenging for the Throne."

"There'll always be a place for you in the Fire Nation," he said decisively, choosing to ignore that she had called him hapless. "The Fire Lily Festivals are coming up..."
The Fire Lily Festivals were expected to be larger than ever this year, as most of the festivals celebrating military victories and imperialism had been abolished, and the people of the Fire Nation were itching to celebrate their own unique culture. The Fire Lily Festivals seemed like an appropriate and non-offensive way to do so. Given the general spirit of national pride, it might be a good time to reintroduce the Princess to her people.

"Sounds like a good time to be had and a nice vacation from making sure these people don't burn their city down around their ears," Azula answered with a slight nod, having always been a careful observer of the Four Solar Festivels, "Any chance you can persuade Alexsi to include Yomiko on the trip? She needs to have a well-cooked hippo cow steak."

Of course, the summer solstice, always the biggest celebration of the year, had passed a few months ago. That would have been the opportune festival, but he blamed himself for ignoring her.
"I'm sure he'd bring her, and Agni knows there's enough room in that palace to bring this entire city."

"I wouldn't quite go that far, Zuko. These people pack themselves in like Ba Singh Sae refugees in some neighborhoods," she countered warmly before nodding, "But... have your man get back to me with the meet up time next week for the Fire Lily Festivels?"

"Of course." He nodded.
