markofthebrave | [ Action, Some Journal ] BACKDATED to the 11th .059

[On April 9th, Katara had been told that she was an "error," and doomed to die by a boy with the face of the man she loved. As you can imagine, the rest of the day was not spent cheerfully; rather after wandering about for some time, Katara returned home to make dinner and then quietly excused herself to write some letters, and then bend into the early morning hours.

On April 10th, the sun rose on a Katara who was entirely herself, and the sudden onslaught of memories drove her to her knees. In the early hours of the morning, she wept beside the river, feeling inside out and torn apart and lost... eventually she returned to her room in order to sleep the sleep of the deeply exhausted.

She did not wake until April 11th. This was another slow day, where she read the letters her other self had written and decided not to give them out, ended up seeking some unlikely advice, and generally stuck to her schedule, feeling... strange.

But today? Today she woke up feeling a little more like herself. It was a Thursday, which meant meeting Nami for bo practice after school (which she... finally got back to attending, sorry Professor) and then made dinner. She may glance through the journal a bit more than normal; she may even contemplate attempting to contact someone, and... eventually, she does make two locked posts:]

[Written | Private to Robin]
Hey. I know you'll probably say you're fine, but I just wanted to ask how you were doing.

[Voice | Private to Wolfwood]
Do you have a minute?

[Later that evening, she'll be practicing by the river, under the light of a waning moon.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well, technically you're yelling at me.

Yes! About you!

[In about five seconds, this conversation will strike her as ridiculous.]

I just don't want you to be hungry! I'm being considerate.

[Or his idea of what considerate is.]

[That's right, he doesn't know--]

Ugh! Sokka!

[And suddenly it all sinks in. He takes a deep breath. Calm.]

If... if you're trying to diet or something, I don't think you need to. You look fine. Great. I mean... not great. To me. But to other people, probably great? What I'm saying is, you don't need to lose weight. You could eat two mangos. And some bacon! It would be fine!

[Pfffffffffffff.]

[... or that works too. Except now she's laughing at him. That's not cool.]

I was being serious.

I know - I know you were. [Gosh, that is so the last of her concerns right now.]

Thank you, Sokka.

[Well. Fine. He can smile at that.]

Just doing my brotherly duty.

[Ahahahahaha, yeah. About that.]

So... we need to talk.

[Hoo boy. Sitting down again. Maybe trying to get her to talk was a bad idea after all.]

Yeah?

[Right, and she will sit down too and... pick at her mango. Pick, pick.]

About Masaomi.

You mean... about me talking to Masaomi.

[Because he doesn't suspect she wants to talk about her... feelings. He doesn't think he did the wrong thing talking to Masaomi. But it maybe would have been better if he did tell her about it. At least while she was herself.]

[She nods.]

That and... [Deep breath.] You were right. I wish she'd listened to you. I understand why she didn't, but... I wish she had.

[Because now I am just going to end up hurting him.]

[... oh no. His mind races at the possibilities of what that might mean.]

... did something happen?

[...]

Nothing like what you're thinking!

Well that's what you made it sound like!

No, I just meant that she went ahead and told him something that was true for them but that wasn't true for us. And it will end up hurting him, so I wish she hadn't. That's all.

[Honestly, she wishes that they hadn't kissed and generally been all over each other as much as they had either, but... that's a hazard of Luceti she's grown sort of accustomed to. It would be worse if it hadn't happened to them before.

Besides. It wasn't. Bad, exactly.]

[He frowns. So this is about hurting Masaomi? What about her?]

He's been around Luceti enough to know to not take that serious, right?

[She raised a hand to her forehead, lightly rubbing away a forming headache.]

That's not really the point, Sokka.

[He slouches back in his chair. Time to ask the question to which he already knows the answer.]

Well what did you tell him?

That's not the point either. [She sighs and looks up at him.] The point is - what did you tell him?
