And, yes, I was worried that Iroh read a little too much 'get back to the kitchen, girl' to Azula here, but she really is pushing at him. And she doesn't even need to, not if you assume Ozai is secure on his throne! It's just her default always-turned-up-to-eleven mode coming to the fore.
Azula in exile, though ... man. She would hate it so, so much. Not least because, going by her hair-washing, pedicure-having scenes, it seems as though she's willing to allow herself to enjoy being pampered, when it's appropriate in terms of living up to her position. I think Ozai would perhaps have to make some kind of ridiculous blunder - overextending a front or something - for her to speak up and incur his ire. But the thought of Azula with even more to prove is just terrifying in general, though I suppose exile might succeed in rounding off some of her edges. Though one would have to assume some Iroh-type supporter(s), I think, given her canon response to abandonment.
And, heh, I'm glad you liked Colonel Iroh! That's a title he's worked for, you know? (much like 'Dragon of the West', for that matter...). And I'm sure that, since the Fire Nation takes war very seriously, even a prince would start fairly low down the ranks (heh, now I'm imagining a Fire Nation Sandhurst/West Point...).
