[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!]

[Katara shrugs.] Do I need a reason?

Generally speaking, yes. [He's so used to Katara being MISERABLE and moderately happy around here. What is this?]

Well, I don't have one. I'm just happy, that's all.

[Nothing bad has happened in a while, Aang's here, Appa's here, Zuko's here, Suki's here... and nothing bad has happened in a while. Plus, winter's coming. And she's met some... interesting new people. Not to mention - nothing bad's happened in a while. But it's not like she is going to tempt fate and say that. So she'll just be turning to go inside now.]

Fine. [Sisters, yeesh. He watches the rain for a little longer, before ultimately following after her.]

Hey, what's for dinner?

[Katara is in the process of unpacking groceries at this very moment! We see meet - sausages - and vegetables. And more noodles. And more vegetables.]

Probably sausage, peppers, and spicy noodles with vegetables. It feels like a good day for something warm. Unless I make soup...

[Sokka shakes his head at all these groceries.]

Seriously, Aang and his vegetables. He wouldn't have lasted a week in the South Pole.

He'd have just had to get used to eating sea prunes, that's all. [She continues unloading the groceries and getting out what's needed to make dinner, completely unfazed. ~~It's not natural~~.]

I've become convinced Aang doesn't actually like Sea Prunes. [... or anyone for that matter. Of course, but now, that's fairly obvious. Sokka rather enjoys playing ignorant to it.]

[She shrugs.] We'll figure something out, if he comes back to stay with us after the war's over.

[He considers that.] Do you think he actually would?

[She's not looking at you now, gaze concentrating on preparing these vegetables.] What else is he going to do? We're his family now.

I know that the world will need him, and he probably won't be able to stay for very long... but everyone needs someplace they can call home. And we'll have always something ready for him.

Yeah, that's true. [Ah, right. Way to kill the mood. Change of subject, he turns around and leans up against the counter, staring off into the living area.]

So... a certain bearded individual heard something about this great guy.

Huh? [Katara glances over at him, startled. A bearded individual -- oh. Ffffffff.]

Well, you know what they say about men with too much facial hair. Horrible gossips. You can't trust a thing they say.

Well I have it under good authority that in this case, the rumors are true.

Oh really? And just what good authority is that?

[Careful, man, she's chopping up peppers now.]

[He reaches in his bag and pulls out a beard and then points at it.]

THIS authority! Now spill the beans!

[Katara puts a hand over her heart and dramatically widens her eyes.] But Wang Fire! I already told you! I can't trust your advice on romance.

[Stuffing the beard back in the bag now.]

Don't make me go big brother on you!

Whatever that means.

[Rolling her eyes now and getting back to cooking.]

I'm going to find out one way or another! You can make it easier for yourself and just tell me now.

[... it would give him more time in the day, if you did.]

Make it easier on myself? [Katara stops chopping and turns to face him, hands on hips.] What are you talking about, Sokka?

I think you know what I mean. [And his girlfriend IS a master of stealth. Somehow, some way... he will find a way.]

Oh, I think you'd better be a little more specific.
