[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.]

Just don't go for the boomerangs. Or the swords. I don't think your brother would like it.

Nash. Why did you say that?

[action]
[The look she directs to Nash is fierce. And it's not even at him - the fact that Sokka's been walking around feeling like this again makes her furious.
Seriously, doesn't he know the only one allowed to feel insecure and that the whole world is on his back is her?But it makes sense - so many people in Luceti have powers. She loved and valued her bending... but she also vividly remembered how for years it was completely worthless, an annoyance to everyone in the village, while Sokka was the one who got to do cool stuff like learn to hunt and fight and she was the one in the cooking tents or mending his pants. But powers weren't always what mattered - everything came down to how you used it. And here Sokka is, going to school behind her back, talking to strangers about his fears... All this rushes in like a flood and comes out in one sentence.] Sokka is far from useless.[action]
[action]
[She's been useless and helpless too many times to go back to that, even for this, but for a split second - she considered it.] And I'm not going to hide what I'm doing from him, either. But I won't use a sword or a boomerang. I don't think I'd be any good at them anyway.
[She exhales. This isn't Nash's fault.] Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the heads up. [I guess.]
