[Action] .034

[Attention: The Universe

There is a teenage girl who has once again been made aware of your many injustices and is pissed. News at 11.

If you're drafted and she knows you, Katara is looking for you. Specifically Derek, Straw Hats, Ginko, and Katie. So she'll be stopping by the Straw Hat and Infinite Undiscovery House (and if she runs into that knight - well, he'd just better watch what he says) and making a few filters.

This, of course, is after she's gone to see Sokka with a very specific 'request.']


Good luck.



I need to see you before you go. Where are you?


[Of course, feel free to bump into her at any point as she wanders around town looking to make deliveries and say goodbye/offer advice.]


((OOC: Apparently, LJ has decided notifs are tasty and to eat them all. I'll be refreshing like a fiend, but if too much time passes just ping me!))

[A deep, controlled breath. Hanging on to fear never did anybody any good.

She's not going to tell him he'll be all right out there. She might still (somehow) be an optimist, but despite what Sokka says she didn't get that way by lying to herself.

I'm scared for you.

I'm scared.

These are things she can't say. And she's regretful - she's regretful for his loss of innocence. She knows he's already seen so much pain - so many terrible things already. He shouldn't have to see war too. He's not even a fighter.

And she closes her eyes. Breathes out. And looks up at him.]

I'm sorry you have to do this.

[She's sorry.

It's such an odd thing to hear, even though he should expect it of her.]

It's not the first dangerous situation I've been in. [Even if it's on a different scale. And truth be told, it's the unknown variables that bother him more than the fact that it's war. The whys of the opposition.]

And at least we'll be ourselves. [it's strangely easier to accept than some of the experiments, in that respect]

Yeah. [...although she doesn't think she'd mind very much if Ginko was suddenly replaced with a version of himself who knew how to fight.

...put your brave face on, Katara. This isn't doing anyone any good.]

I'll see you when you get back.

[But he would mind.

And smiles at her, anyway]

Alright. Take care.

[She is allowed her moments of utter selfishness.

And, what with your good hand already being on her shoulder, it's ridiculously easy for Katara to step forward and wrap her arms around your waist, and close her eyes when she rests her head lightly above the brace she had Sokka make and just - remember. Remember you. Let your presence and the now drown out the pain and fear and anger.

She loves you, you know?]
