[Action, Voice] .011

[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!]

[And this is why he should have kept to the roof of his own community building. Toushirou steps out of shunpo -- decidedly more difficult here than at home, for some reason, and that bears some looking into -- on the roof and then sighs at the girl sitting on the edge of the roof. Looks like he wasn't the only one with this idea. At least she looks... not unhappy. That's a plus. He clears his throat, standing off to the side. Might as well try not to startle her too badly.]

Shunpo. [Then, remembering what this girl told him before, he sighs. Explain shunpo. Right.] Flash steps. [Well, no. That's not helping. She's just going to have to deal with it.] I don't need stairs.

Oh, hey, Katara. How are you doing?

It's just a way of moving quickly over short distances. [He shrugs, because he really can't find a way to explain it any better. Fail on him, yes. He knows.]

What are you doing up here?

[He catches that look, doesn't really know what it's about, and decides to let it go for now.]

Got taller? [Hear that? That's confusion. Buildings don't just do that.]

[Katara might catch Sokka having his lunch in the square, sitting by the fountain eating a jalopena and turkey sandwich.]

I'm doing great! Just when I was ready for a break in the rain, too.

[Oh, hey. His sister. He holds up his extra sandwich.]

Hungry?

[Of course not! He makes them just like Elisa used to make them.]

Turkey and jalapeno.

Yeah, it reminds me of home. Now is when the sakura would be blooming.

[He nods and takes another bite. The loss of chips doesn't bother him.]

Glad it stopped raining. Had to eat my lunch in school a few days ago.

Yeah, the cherry blossoms. They don't bloom for very long, and there's always a festival around now, when they do.

[Oh, well. There were a lot of questions he could ask. He decides to stick to the obvious. Or well... the one that seems most immediate, at any rate.]

Who's Aku and why would he destroy things?
markofthewise: (Yeah. No.)

[Oh, well thanks he- wait. Wait!]

Huh? No! That was Roku, didn't you see him show up?
