[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!]

... Really. [Color her surprised, she certainly looks like it.] That certainly is a help, isn't it.

[She smiles a bit more at that.] It depends on the mushi really. They all come in different shapes and sizes, some big and some small. Some are lit up like stars, others are dark. [She pauses there.] I'm afraid though that I'm not very well acquainted with many mushi. I've heard of many of them and know of their traits but I have never seen them myself. Only the smaller mushi tend to come anywhere near the Archives.

Shimi typically inhabit scrolls and have a tendency to unravel any text on them, making the text go running off. [She laughs lightly.] It certainly adds a little excitement every now and then.
