[ Action, Voice, and looooooooooove ] .039

[Backdated to yesterday, after her conversation with Suki, Katara has a brother to kill. Confront. Comfort? Whatever.

She looks high. She looks low. She looks... lower. Someone is coming down the stairs to your mancave, Sokka.]

[Meanwhile, this morning, Suki is feeling... less depressed and Sokka is still away from the house and everything feels wrong. Katara's a few steps short of miserable, because this is not the way things are supposed to go. She attends school, finishes some afternoon errands, and just... stares at the journal system for a while. A lot of people still seem to be very happy, and she does not want to bring them down, and she doesn't want to expose Suki or Sokka to anything but...

But.]

...is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that some people are acting... not like themselves?

((ooc: Katara's first post chronologically goes to savethelastchip. Tag as you will!))

[A long walk... yeah, that might be a good idea. He gives a nod.]

Thanks. [He sets the necklace back into its box and sets it in a nearby shelf. He wouldn't normally be so careless with it, but for now, it doesn't actually have that much sentimentality to him right now. Katara might want to put it away for him, because he's going for that walk.]

[Yeah, she will. But first she'll grab hold of his shoulder in silent apology before letting him go.

And then she moves to stand and stare down at the engagement necklace. She wishes she knew that she did the right thing by telling him this. Maybe she should have just let it go? But she'd hoped that somehow, confronting him with the truth would have snapped him out of it. That he'd be able to talk with Suki and work things out.

...but instead, everything felt worse. And wrong. She'd hurt him, and Suki was still crying, and right at this very moment, she wasn't sure if there was any way to make things right again.]
