[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!]

I can understand that.

Hmn.

[Pause]

So what did you guys do for fun?

...well. When we were little we used to go penguin sledding and have snowball fights.

...Penguin sledding?

[Yes, he is indeed steering the conversation away from himself.]

Sure! Do you have penguins in your world?

Sure do. Most people don't live where they live, though.

Yeah, I hear that a lot. A few people don't even know what they are. But they're really friendly! And they're willing to give you a ride if you bribe them with fish. They can go so fast down the ice slopes...

Sounds cool.

Our penguins aren't...quite like yours, I think. Most of them are too small to ride, and they're all pretty shy of humans.

That's hard to imagine. [She shrugs.] But a lot of our animals are different than any of the other worlds I've heard about here. No one else seems to know what tiger-seals or badgermoles are.

Yours sound more intelligent, too.

Honestly, to me, it sounds like you're talking about four animals; tigers, which are big striped hunting cats, seals, which are finned mammals that live mostly in the sea, badgers, which are some sort of land...animal known for being feisty, and moles are tiny little mouse like creatures that burrow underground.

[Katara laughs.] Badgermoles are huge! They were the first earthbenders. They make these tunnels and caves underground that are just... amazing.

The animals bend, too?
