When Xu Que said 'If you give yourself to me, I shall move the Earth,' the Water Empress was shocked.
"Are you asking for the throne?" She asked, puzzled.
She didn't understand Xu Que's words and was having trouble thinking of what else they could have meant.
But wait. Xu Que couldn't be asking for the throne. If he really wanted to rule over a nation, he would have proclaimed himself emperor when he was in the Fire Nation. Maybe he just needed her help?
"Little guy, you want me to lend you a hand in order to help you, right?" the Water Empress asked in a soft voice, smiling slightly.
Xu Que was overjoyed. Lend a hand to me? I didn't expect the elegant and conservative Water Empress to be so open! She even wants to use her hands!
He replied by nodding his head hurriedly. "A hand would be fine!"
For the first time, she can use hand. Next time, she can use her mouth. This is totally acceptable for me as an Acting Tough King!
