[ Action, Voice ] .055
[These decorations have been up for a few days now, and while at first Katara thought they were pretty they have now succeeded in making her grumpy. Yes. Very grumpy. Grumpy enough to make a post about it, in fact.]
How do they expect us to sleep with all these lights in our window? I've put a double curtain over it, and the light is still keeping me awake. Does anyone have any ideas?
[You might catch some muttering about: "Moving to sleep down in the basement" or "It's not too cold to camp out in the forest" before the journal shuts. She'll get back to it in a little bit, she just needs to finish making the grocery list.
Once she finishes with any replies that she may receive, Katara heads into town. The lights really are pretty. And so are the wreaths and the snowmen and the... unfamiliar sprigs of green over the doorway to the grocery store really kind of... isn't. Why is that even there? Katara pauses underneath it to examine it more closely...]

...unfortunately, she's not completely clear of the sprig's circle of influence. She blinks a bit when she sees him, stifling a strange sort of... feeling.]
Hello, Ceodore! It's been a while, but I thought I told you to just call me Katara.
action
Sorry about that. I'll remember next time.
action
That's okay. How have you been?
action
[He steps an inch closer without even really thinking about it. Although once he has, it just feels like the right thing to do.]
action
Just keeping busy. I've been helping with the lessons at the Battle Dome and... [she trails off for a moment, abruptly aware that she's still staring at his mouth and Katara blushes before forcing herself to meet his gaze again] ...taking care of a friend's cat.
[Other than that it's. You know. School and practice and taking care of everyone and more practice...]
action
[...which sounds stupid, he realizes after the fact. Right about the same time he's realizing that he's leaning in for no reason he can tell except there's that bloody plant and...
Last second, he diverts and lightly kisses Katara on the cheek.
Then freezes. Because what the heck did he just do and why?]
action
Gah!
[Very eloquent, Katara. Don't mind her as she takes two steps rapidly back, eyes wide and blushing furiously as one hand goes up to her cheek.
action
Sorry! I... I'm sorry!
[Oh for Firaga right now to blast that plant.]
action
What just happened?
action
[Way to state the obvious there, Prince Derp. But that's really the only answer he's got. It's like he couldn't help himself and that just sounds horrible.]
action
action
It was uncalled for and out of line. I apologize.
[The apology comes with a formal bow, and he's at least got the good sense to stay a respectful distance away now.]
action;
That doesn't explain anything.
