[Okay, so waking up today was weird. She thought it was Saturday, but by the state of the house and where things were... it was actually Monday. Sokka was back - woke up in his own bed, and all, but when Katara went to check on Toph to see if she remembered what happened...

Her room was bare. There was nothing left. Toph was gone.

After stumbling to the wall and leaning on it a long moment to get herself together - is it going to hurt like this every time? - it was time to tell the household.

That accomplished, one of them had to let the town know... and Katara volunteered. She opened up her journal to find a mission summons from the Malnosso. She stared at it a long moment - now? When her housemates need her most they're calling for her now? She shut the journal. She needed a moment to process.

Eventually, she'll open up the journal again. Her voice is a little strained, but steady.]


I'm sorry I don't know any other way to say this but... Manliness Classes are going to have to be canceled again. Toph's gone home.

And... [hhhng, announcing this to the village is so weird, but...] Sokka's back. [There, that's better. Starting with him gives her someplace to stand on.] But I'll be leaving on a mission tomorrow, so... I'll see you all in a week or so.

[So after making this post mid-morning, Katara sets about doing what she needs to do. Sirry Crags, huh? She knows how to handle high altitudes and fighting in snow. She'll just... pop into the Item Shop to double check for a few things, and then hopefully bump into someone willing to help her carry groceries home. It looks like she's going to need to do a week's worth of cooking today.]

[With the way she feels about drafts, he figured that had to be the reason.]

You told me you'd been to that area before. I'm not sure how long ago that was, but I had the same mission in November if there's anything you want to ask.

[He considers telling her that most of the time is spent moving and setting up, as opposed to fighting. Shikamaru spent two weeks out there with a group, and they only took on three camps. But guerrilla warfare is a different kind of killing - more planned. He doesn't think she'd be comforted by the knowledge.]

[The journal window catches a nod, and then he looks away, thinking.]

If they're doing things the same as before, you'll be working in a small group with some supervision. There's a lot of traveling. Be careful of traps hidden in the snow.

[Plenty. But a lot of it the Malnosso will explain themselves. Hopefully she'll be more focused by then.]

Dress warm.

[As if she wouldn't know better - kinda like she's told him multiple times throughout the Winter, when it was obvious.]
endgames: (Maybe)

[Means the same thing, to a ninja. Not that it matters. He sighs.]

There's some other things. I'll write 'em down and them to you by the end of the night. Check your journal later.

Mm. Good luck out there, if I don't catch you before you head out.

[He wouldn't be doing this in the first place if things weren't okay. Then again, he'd usually do it off the journals too.

It's more out of consideration for her than anything being wrong. He just knows how their conversations work - topics that are likely to come up even if they really aren't his business. He'd rather not get into it. And she has enough stress to deal with as it is.]

Don't sweat it. There's other things he can occupy himself with. Like that stupid pineapple...

[The last part is muttered, like an afterthought.]

Aa. This one that showed up at the apartment.

[....yeah, she did get him one at his birthday, didn't she? LIKELY SUSPECT, except not because by now it's obvious no one remembers the last two days. He'll ask anyways for the hell of it.]

Know anything about it?

[He shrugs.] It's not really important. Just weird.
endgames: (Hmph)

[Except it wasn't with the groceries.]

Yeah, that's probably it.
endgames: (that's interesting)

No, it makes sense, right?
