Anyways, your understanding is quite correct. Remember when Mai told Azula about what Ozai said in High Court \\\"He mentioned respect\\\" - to Azula, as well as the readers, this implies how well Ozai thinks of his daughter\\\'s change of his plans. Mai\\\'s actions, however, have made me suspect that her vengeance against Azula has been brought out in full. Getting Azula out and away from the Fire Lord\\\'s influence in such a manner that she cannot ignore the consequences of her own actions proved to be brutal, but very efficient. We may not have received any further thoughts from Ozai on his daughter, but it is safe to say that Kotori, the Onmitsu who fought and fled from Azula\\\'s group, has made her report to her Elders as well as the Fire Lord. As far as both know, Ozai has been betrayed, and Azula knows her actions constitute a betrayal. She understands that it is best to flee the Caldera where she can retreat and regroup later, once she gets all her priorities in order.

So far, we have yet to see where Azula and her group will go for sanctuary. I would so love to have Azula and her two Dangerous Ladies reintroduce themselves to a throne-retaking King Kuei and his court, but realistically...it\\\'s probably not a good idea. Azula may have some fully-trained Dai Li and even Onmitsu with her, but being as calculating and pragmatic as she is, seeking out the Earth King and his Dai Li and other guardians on their home turf isn\\\'t very smart. The agents with her may be able to seek out the Earth King and other Dai Li...IF they want to be found. And if they are, well. Remember those wonderful little sand-turned-glass pit traps that Amisi made? There are many more Dai Li on Kuei\\\'s side, I would think, and I bet none too fond of the fact that some of their own turned traitor for some foreign royal-turned-fugitive. There\\\'s also the fact that Azula made herself ruler of Ba Sing Se in a way that can be considered illegitimate. I think Azula would have better luck at the Northern Air Temple.

There would be no issue with Eshe or Amisi. It\\\'s obvious amongst the Dai Li whom their King favors. Azula proffering her aid against her own soldiers? Another reason why I think Azula won\\\'t land in Ba Sing Se. I think I can see her taking some of the soldiers away from Ba Sing Se, but whether they see her as their leader is another issue.
