[Katara is not doing well.
I know - I know I go back. I know I have something I need to finish. But how long is it going to be, Sokka? Other people, it seems like they go and come back all the time. And I can't help but wonder when it's going to be you and - and if it will ever be me."
"Sometimes I think it will never be me. But I can't do this without you."
But it had been him. It had been him, just like she'd been afraid it would be. And now the one person she had always known had her back was gone. She knew it wasn't fair, but she felt alone.
And angry. And helpless. And hurt. And angry.
"Sometimes I think it will never be me. But I can't do this without you."
She should have told him. She wasn't sure she could do this without him either.
Katara let Aang make the announcement. She didn't want to have to deal with his friends grief on top of her own. Maybe it was selfish, but maybe there was a time for that. There wasn't enough to do. She didn't really want to see anybody, but this wasn't like when she'd lost her mom. There were no emergencies. There was nothing to distract her.
But she couldn't stand being in the house Sokka had expanded, not after cleaning it from the second floor on down. If you're in the house, it's probably best not to get in her way.
Once that's done, there's still not enough to do. She goes out to practice bending by the river and takes her bo with her, just in case she wants to practice that too. But she mostly ends up sitting on a rock by the river, her feet dangling down and almost touching the water.]

Your welcome.
[He gives her shoulder a light squeeze before taking away the contact. He would stay for a little while longer then give her some space.]
no subject
She didn't say anything, but on some level outside the numbness, she did appreciate Iroh coming by. She also appreciated him not trying to tell her it would be all right.]
no subject
He takes a slow breath in and out and watches the river. There was something peaceful about watching the flow of the river. As if it could almost carry your troubles away]
