[Due to Sokka's unexpected bout of sheer win, Katara has been given the gift of free time and she plans on making the most of it... after she was shooed back to bed due to threats from Sokka that made no sense at all.

First, she wants to check in on Sanji at the Strawhat's House. Then she wants to stop by the school and see if she can register to go once things are back to 'normal.' And... she has an idea that is going to lead her to the weapons shop. Finally, she'll go grocery shopping because they're running low on easy-to-cook things. Maybe she'll even get a chance to stand by the bridge and practice with real waterbending! ...although saving her strength to keep healing Zuko is probably a better idea. She'll probably just stare at the water wistfully and talk to Sona.

If you're around any of these places today, feel free to say 'Hey!' or give her hand, since she's not exactly sure how to do what she wants to do at the smithy or the school.]

Close enough; my name is Raine Sage.

Are you... Sokka's sister?

Raine. [Blush.] Sorry about that.

Yes, my name's Katara. You know Sokka?

Don't worry about it.

Yes, we've talked more than a few times.

He gets around.

Um.. are you the one I should speak to about starting to attend school?

He seems to talk to a lot of people.

That's right. He's mentioned that you might be interested in attending, since he doesn't seem to have too much of an interest in coming to all the classes himself.

Sokka's going to school? What classes is he taking?

He comes to the science and magic instruction classes.

[...the science and the magic classes?

...why hadn't he told her?]

Oh. That's - good. I'm sure he's doing well. He's always been very interested in science. [And magic?]

What is the schedule like? I wouldn't be able to come for another few weeks... a... friend of ours is pretty seriously hurt. I'm only around today because my brother kicked me out of the house.

It's usually Monday through Thursday, from around half past nine to roughly two thirty, though sometimes additional classes can be arranged for those who need the extra time.

... Has a doctor or healer looked at them?

[Katara blinks and - fortunately - is aware that her instinctive response of 'What do you think we are, stupid?' is one that comes because she is far too tired. Instead she nods, the topic of school forgotten for the moment.]

I have healing abilities. That's why I said I wouldn't be able to come until he was better... I think that Toph will recover on her own, in time. But Zuko...

[Her face darkens.] His injuries were terrible.

... All right. I can understand that.

[Katara hesitates.] ...are you a healer?

... Yes, that's right.

[Really? Katara has no shame about asking for help in this case.] He was tortured. I know that much. And he got into a fight with Yuber and he was shot with lightning - no place really vital, but... so many times. And he had a cut in his side that was infected...

He's so weak. I'm worried about him. My healing manipulates a person's chi, so I have to be careful not to do too much, and he's getting better, but if you wouldn't mind taking a look, I'd really appreciate it.

[Her eyes darken at the mention of Yuber, but she nods to Katara's words.]

Of course. It won't be any trouble.

Thank you.

When would you like me to see to him?

Would tomorrow be all right with you? I'd like to let him know that you're coming, and Chopper said he'd be taking a look at Zuko today as well.

...he's not exactly the easiest patient. [Although maybe that has more to do with her personal issues towards Zuko than how he's actually been behaving. She's still angry that this whole thing has happened, and angry that he waited so long to call them. Now that the wounds are so old, all the healing has to be done in increments... if she'd just gotten there sooner...]

That seems fine. [She nods, and takes out a blank sheet of paper, and makes a note of it.] Which house are you all living in?

House 56. Toph made a giant ~~tombstone~~ stone heart that says 'Happy Valentine's Day, Sokka' right in front of it. It's hard to miss. I'll probably be home all day, so you can come by any time that's good for you.

[She feels a little better, just knowing that Chopper is looking at Zuko today and that Raine will come tomorrow. She should have thought of asking for help days ago. She's just... not used to having anyone to ask for help. But some of the tension she's carrying will visibly leave her body now that she knows that she really is doing all that she can - the day won't be a complete waste if Chopper or Raine can help Zuko. She owes him a beat-down herself.] What other classes does the school offer? I remember reading about the history class, but things have been so busy... [she trails off with a little laugh.]

All right; I'll keep that in mind.

The others are simply standard classes that one would expect. Math, literature, with some recreation and art classes to round them off. The initial test itself really is just to determine skill and grade level so help accomodate students accordingly.

...we didn't really have a school at home. My Gran-Gran taught us.

You didn't? ... Well, I'm certainly glad that you're interested in attending here.

Which reminds me... you sent in the suggestion about the bells in town, didn't you?

I'm not sure how good I'll be at it, but I'm certainly interested in the history classes. I think that learning about the way that things work in other worlds would be amazing.

Yes, that was me. [Being trapped in the forest by a giant demon and not being able to run to town for help for fear of leading it back will do that to a girl.]
