[Even Katara can only deny the effects of the dreams so long. It wasn't so bad at first when they were just vivid and of a different Luceti... but this other world, with these strange people she feels connected to, and the strange consistency of them, as if they were actually telling a story...
...and she knows the dreams have been effecting her dad too. And that it hasn't been good. So... she's going to take today to do maybe what she should have done from the start.]
[Filtered to Sokka]
Hey, I need to talk to you. What time can I come by?
[Filtered to Zuko]
...can we meet later?
[Filtered to Chouji]
I know this is weird, but have you been dreaming that we--
[Filtered to Shikamaru]
Did we ever--
[Filtered to Masaomi]
Don't take this the wrong way, but I had a dream about us, and we were fighting. You broke my rib, but it wasn't a bad thing and I can't stop thinking about--
[Filtered to Nami]
...have you been having dreams that we were friends, once?
[Filtered to Ginko]
Ginko... have you ever heard of parasites that... live in the dark and steal sight from people's eyes, and can be drawn out by moonlight?
[Filtered to San]
I dreamed you had come into my house for food, that you drew a knife and nearly attacked Sokka, and I had to knock you down.
[Filtered to Sanji]
Sanji, did we ever...
[Filtered to Jet]
I - you - there was a dam that -
[Katara abruptly shoves away from her journal, scribbling through her filters madly. Checking with Sokka and Zuko would be enough. She didn't want to go and get people upset or excited about something that may or may not be true. She hesitates for a long moment at the doorway to her father's room, contemplating knocking and asking him-
What have you been dreaming about, Dad? They haven't stopped. Do you think they mean something?
-but eventually she just writes a note that she's going to spend some time practicing, picks up her yari, and heads into the forest. She's almost hoping to see one of the beasties everyone's been talking about. She could do with a good fight against something she can actually touch.]

[Action]
Who spiked your mikan juice?!
[That's just a travesty, is what it is. The fact that her alcohol tolerence is practically non-existent may be flavoring her response a bit.]
[Action]
It's not important!
[Because he's not telling her that her father handed him a glass of really strong mikan juice.]
[Action]
[Action]
... Yeah, easy answer.]
Your dad! Your dad did. He was just trying to be nice. I think.
[Action]
What was he thinking...
[Because it's never as simple as a drink with her dad and a boy she's interested in, Zuko. Katara refuses to believe it, even as she ducks her head in thought.]
[Action]
He was being nice?
[Action]
She grins wryly and lifts up her hands to place them lightly on his chest.]
You've got a lot to learn about my family.
[Action]
I have time.
[Action]
[And then she steps forward to just - rest her head on his shoulder, turning their half-embrace into a true one again.
They have time.]
[Action]
Never coming close enough for this.
Thank the Malnosso for Jet's crazy schemes.
It's right.
And so, he just holds her.]
