[For no very specific reason at all, Katara is happy this late afternoon. The air is getting colder, and the very fact that it's nipping at her face is enough to make her smile. Add to that the glorious storm of yesterday, that it is still drizzling...

It's started drizzling as she runs her errands in town, and she puts a hand up to bend an 'umbrella' above her head as she walks along. She forgets herself, though, as she comes to some large puddles in the road, and dropping her hand, stares at them for half a beat.

Well, she's already wet.

So she jumps in. Not bending at all, simply splashing about in the puddles along her way.

Feel free to catch her in this rare display of immaturity and glee - or even join her! Hopefully she won't catch a cold.

Much later, as she prepares dinner for her house, she makes a voice post.]

Anyone else looking forward to the change in the weather?

[OOC: I know notifs are so so down. Please ping me on AIM if it's been a while and I haven't tagged!]

...what's summoning?

[About to comment on magic, but that question distracts her.]

It's a form of magic that allows me -and others like me- to summon Eidolons in battle. We have to earn it; Eidolons will only come to the aid of those who have bested them in combat. That's how they know the summoner is worth their time.

Oh. [Ponder, ponder, ponder.] So you can... call them, and they'll come to help you wherever you are?

Well, usually. It doesn't happen here...or at least it doesn't usually. I heard there's a way around it, but I haven't been able to reach the person who makes it possible.

Oh, I see. Well... it's not like you'd really want to bring them here, right?

No, I want them safe. But not having them around...it's sort of like you not being able to waterbend. It's just weird, you know?

Yeah, I can imagine. It's weird enough being at half power...

I know that feeling well enough. At least we still have something, though.

...and I suppose winter can't be all bad. I haven't had a good snowball fight since the last one.

It can be hard going through weather that you're not used to. [AKA, when will the summer EVER. END?] But at least in the winter you can pile on plenty of layers and curl up by the fire, and drink some hot tea.

And snowball fights are definitely fun! I bet we can get some good ones going here.

As soon as the first good snowfall hits, count on it happening.

[She grins, true enjoyment and happiness in her tone.] Something to look forward to, then! I'm glad.
