There were brisk voices in the hallway. "--difficult, troubled child," one of the matrons was saying. "Defiant and resistant."

"Yeah me too," said another voice. It tickled her memory and she looked up.

I like when things/events tickle somebody's memory in a story :)

Interesting few lines that draw you into wondering who is talking and who is eavesdropping.

From my ATLA/Andromeda TV Sci-fi/Spaceship AU.

Ozai thinks about it for a moment in silence, while Suki waits, looking at the golden fire emblem on his shirt. She frowns. Something is not right with this... with what exactly? No, there is nothing wrong, it’s a flame as all the Fire Nation emblems, so she looks at his shirt now. Is his shirt made of silk? It looks... silky. Then there is the admiral insignia on his stand-up collar, and again something tugs at the edge of her memory.
Spirits, what’s wrong with her?
She looks at his goatee; okay, no problem here. She doesn’t like goatees in general, but for some reason, she doesn’t mind this particular goatee, so it’s safe to look at.

It makes me wonder if this is a good or bad memory being triggered :)

The shapes of the insignia have been slightly changed, but only slightly enough to affect the subconscious. This is why she is disturbed, though she doesn't know why, yet :)

Boya thought about this reluctance, frowning as a memory resurfaced from the first time they came to Qingming's home.

Yes, first times are not easy. Usually.
