[Sometime early this afternoon, Katara escapes from the house with no particular destination in mind. All she knows is that Zuko is finally well enough to be left alone, and even if he's not Roku - Roku - is around so he's not exactly unprotected.
But between Zuko, Roku, Jet... and the imminent battle with Aku... Katara desperately needs some time to clear her head. And just as importantly - this is her first spring. When they'd left the South Pole with Aang, the world was already in bloom. This is the first time she's actually gotten to see blossoms on trees or fields of budding flowers, and even though the Easter Egg hunt gave her some time to explore, she just can't get enough of it. It's a thousand new sounds and smells, and the thunderstorm has left the sky freshly washed and the blossoms are bright against the green.
She is not headed anywhere in particular, although she has a vague notion of checking in on Tanyuu, she's not sure where Ginko's friend has settled. So after wandering around the borders of the forest and any other place where there may be flowers, and lying down in a field and staring up at the clouds for a while, Katara will head back into town. Once there, she'll poke around the town square for a bit... and decide to explore some of the community houses, because she's only been in there once before and they seem to have mysteriously... grown.
And this is how she ends up on the roof of Community Building 4, leaning on the edge with her journal in her lap and a smile on her face.]
Tanyuu, if you'd like to meet somewhere for tea or something, I'd like to see how you're settling in.
[Feel free to have bumped into her at any point!]

[Amazing how a few minutes in someone's company can remind you that they are kind of a jerk. Amazing how she still sort of feels weird about him anyway.]
[Action]
And we have no idea who might show up afterward. Like I said. It's best he hears it from us. Zuko could tell him but... the guy isn't good at explaining things. At all.
[Action]
Maybe we should all talk to him. ...I don't think he needs to know that Sozin left him to die.
[Action]
[And the beard? He just slips it in a pocket. Or does he?]
[Action]
[Action]
... I don't know. If he changed things... I think it would be better. The War would have never happened, the Air Nomads would still be around, and our village... [And our mom...]
We would have never met Aang. We wouldn't even be the same people.
[Action]
... but I don't think that would happen. If that was possible, we would have already been affected by it. We are the same people, so clearly he hasn't done anything to the timeline.
[Action]
There's no point in worrying about what we can't control, anyway.
[Now if only she can convince herself to believe that.] I think we have to tell him. At least about the war.
...I wish Aang was here.
[Action]
Yeah. Me too.
[Action]
[Action]
Well... Aang isn't here. So it's down to you and me.
[Action]
[Action]
But anyway! You should have seen the looks on people's faces when they started running over because of the fire.
[Action]
[Man. She hoped they hadn't worried anyone. Stupid Zuko.]
