[If you are passing by the Southmost bridge at just the right time, you will find it hard not to notice the girl in an unusual dress and boots facedown on the ground. One shoulder is strangely disjointed, and there are bruises up and down her arms, particularly violent ones around her wrists. She looks like nothing more than a broken and discarded doll.

As the sun continues to set, the coolness in the ground will cause her to start to stir. When she sits up, she grimaces, moving as if there might be something wrong with her ribs. If you happen to be looking at her as she does, you'll notice the sickening blue and yellow bruise spread across her right collarbone, the lovely shiner on her eye.

The wonderful thing about Luceti? Sometimes there's a journal right where you need it. She barely has enough presence of mind to make sure the picture points away from her face, but her voice is very tired.]

Sokka, Aang - I'm back. [Sorry Suki, Zuko.] I'm okay.

[10 100 (thank you, Shikamaru) percent filter to Chopper, Raine]
Hey guys, if you're there - I could use a little help.

[She doesn't want her brother and Aang to see her like this.]

[Katara flicks the journal up so that Ami can see - all gone!]

Not anymore. Chopper fixed me up!

[The cheer in her voice is genuine, but... very thin.]

I'm glad. Still, it must be hard.

[...well, she's not gonna lie.]

It could have been worse.

Do you have everything you need?

[Katara is genuinely touched by Ami's concern and willingness to help. It makes her wibble a little and that will carry through in her voice, because the one thing she wants - Aang - he's gone home.]

I'm okay right now. Thanks, Ami.

[Katara doesn't entirely sound well...]

It's nothing. Just, if there's something you need, you can ask me.

[Katara closes her eyes and smiles a little.]

I know.

[Actually, what she really wants is to invite Katara to do something together once she's had a bit more chance to heal - in a few days, or a week, or something. But she can't quite take that initiative.]

I'll make sure your school assignments come, too.

[What? That wouldn't be appreciated?]

[Actually, it would be. Bedrest equals too much time to think and remember otherwise.]

That would be really great! If you want to stop by tomorrow, I'll probably be home most of the day...

I'll definitely come. [And she will.] Is there a special book or folder or something I should ask for?

Uh... [If there is, Katara's brain is blanking on it.] Not that I can think of?

Alright. Just the normal books and homework, then.

[Tired voice is tired.] All right, Ami. That sounds good. It will be good to see you.

[And Katara means that.]

For now, get some rest and feel better.

Okay. [A small smile.] Thanks again, Ami. I'll talk to you later.

Right! 'Bye!
