[After a good cry, some good advice, and throwing down with the whole of Luceti against Aku the other day, Katara is feeling much more like herself. And she is on a mission. She can be found mid-afternoon heading towards whatever store in Luceti sells paint.

Fire Nation Red in her living room? Not anymore!]

Let's see... I guess I could go blue with green accents... or maybe something even more neutral? Maybe find a cream... No, no orange, it's too close to red...

[Katara has never had a chance to play with paints and colors before! She's a little lost with all the options. She just knows that she wants to make their shared space an open, welcoming one, one that represents all of them ~~and even the one that they're missing~~ and one which won't remind her of that stupid experiment's 'misplaced decimal.' But she has come far enough that she doesn't want it to just chase out Zuko either, although she is perfectly happy never seeing him again. Clearly, the girl is expecting too much out of paint. Someone help?]

Why not blue?

What are you doing?

What's wrong with red?

[Oh great. She knows that voice. It's the girl who wants to fight her friends.]

It's not exactly the 'all nations welcome' look I'm going for.

[You get a smile!] Oh hey, Yako. I'm trying to decide on a paint color. I'm repainting the living room.

All nations?

[Oh hi, man-who-wears-a-giant-red-overcoat.] It's just not exactly an ideal color for a living room.

Hm. Well, red's out... what do the other people living with you like? A neutral color might be best, because it's, well, neutral.

Mmm. Blue tends to remind people of the Watertribes. I'd rather our living room be less... exclusive, I guess. Though this navy color is nice...

Hm. [Considers this] Maybe not a bright red at least.

Why not choose a color to please yourself instead of everyone else?

Well, Toph's blind, so she won't really care one way or the other. Sokka... painted his last house purple which... hmm... maybe if it was lighter... but I think that pretty much means his opinion doesn't count. And Zuko... [She'll tense a little when she says his name.] has two rooms which are red already. No more red.

No more red. [Pause.]

...maybe as accent pillows? Argh, this is so frustrating.

And... you want blue? I would think maybe a pale blue, but it's your living room.

I can do that in my own room. The living room is the one that everyone shares. But it's also right by the kitchen, so I'll have to see it a lot... that's why I'd rather it something nice.

[Laughs!] Well, I'm afarid I don't know much about this kinda stuff.

If they're not doing anything to make it comfortable for themselves, just make it comfortable for you.

I was thinking maybe a pale blue... But it seems like it wouldn't be fair to identify the common room with any particular nation.

[And there's a slight twitch and a mumbled] I can not believe I painted it red.

Me either. I've never had this much stuff to pick from!

Red because of the experiment, I'm guessing.

Well, that would make sense. What are the nations' colors?

[Why do you have to tempt her like that?]

That's not the way things work. It should be a room for all of us to enjoy. [...if she can ever be in the same room with Zuko again, that is. Not that she was all that eager to be in the same room with him before, either.]

[The prospect of color and perhaps painting catches the ear of one little poncle, and - as a painter - she just has to inquire as to what's going on. With a smile, of course, art and painting always puts a smile on her face.]

Are you painting something, miss? I could be of assistance, if you need help with colors.

[She enjoys stirring things up. Even the small, petty things like that.]

You don't sound too sure.

I've just never gave any thought to decorating.

[That wince which was supposed to be a smile should answer Yako's guess.]

Blue is for the Watertribes. Green is for the Earth Kingdom. [Her voice will get a little strained here.] Red is for the Fire Nation.

...I'm not sure what colors the Air Nomads would say were theirs. Aang always wore a muted sort of yellow and and orange.
