[ action ] taking place just before and just after 4th Wall

[markofthebrave]

[Katara has now had some time to adjust to this strange new place. She's stalked the people she supposedly knows. She's read back in the book. She's gone so far as to attempt the new technology that would take her to the ocean and back and found how truly trapped they were.

Now that everything was a little less raw, the crushing certainty that she was trapped here with people who claimed to know her, people who claimed to be her family, demanded a response.

She couldn't just run away. It was a failing of hers. The only reason she'd run was if it was to form a better plan of attack. But how could you attack when the threat was... being known? Or... being known enough. There were questions and she wanted answers.

So while Katara wasn't overtly looking for anyone who claimed to know her, she was willing to let herself be found, and wandered into places where that would be quite easy.]

Katara turned to face her. "Suki, right?"

Though she remembered the other girl's n ame. It was fatal to make that kind of mistake.

Yup. Not back to normal yet. That troubled Suki, but she tried not to show it on her face. Not that Suki was showing much emotion. Everything was muted for her.

"Yeah. That's me. How are you doing?"

Are you asking because you're being polite, or because you really want to know?

Either way, her response would be similar.

"I'm... adapting. This place is very strange."

Because she really cares.

"I know. This place can be really hard to get used to. But you don't have to get used to it on your own."

"I'm not so sure about that," she said slowly. "It seems that the longer I'm here, the more I find that most people, when they talk to me, are expecting someone else."

"I... kinda know how that feels. But still, people are understanding here." Even though Sokka broke her heart, she still believed that the people here were kind enough to understand that.
