[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?

[But plants die in the cold ;A;

Sapphire nods, then remembers after a second passes that a nod isn't audible.]

Yup, all the time.

[Her voice is warm.] Well, if his wings are moving then you don't have anything to worry about. That keeps the blood flowing through them just fine. He might be cold, but he won't freeze.

But leaves don't have blood in 'em. He's sorta...

[...neckbananas]

...Never mind.

Oh. [...she's really going to have to see this.] But leaves do have water - and if they're inside him I'm guessing it will work the same way. Besides, if you're really worried about him you can leave him inside when you go out.

...if you've never seen snow before, that means you've never been in a snowball fight, huh?

[It totally makes sense okay. 8| ]

"Snowball fight"?...throwin' snow?

Yeah. It's fun! We've probably got enough here that we could even do it in teams.

[Sapphire sort of blinks for a moment.]

...sure! I'll figure it out right away - no problem!

[never mind that it will be cold as heck, that sounded like a challenge invitation and I am taking it]

That's great! You can be on my team, if you want. We'll just have to make sure to get you some really warm gloves.

Just watch, I won't even need those! Ya can count on me, leader!

[ \o/ ]

[Blink, blink, blink. Katara tries not to laugh, but she can't keep the grin from her voice when she says:] Now wait just a minute there! What kind of leader would I be if I let my team go out there improperly equipped! You'll make better snowballs if your hands are protected.

...I will?

[Processing, processing...]

...Oh, then that's alright, leader! I'll trust that an' work with gloves!

[Griiiin.] Then I'll count on you.

It will be something to look forward to.
