[Action, Voice] .012
[Painstakingly filtered to the Straw Hats, Toph, Zuko, Sokka, Ginko, Allen Walker, Nash, Smithy Workers, and Caesar Silverberg, even though she's still a bit mad at him. 72 percent.]
If anyone knows how to make the filter higher, I'd really appreciate it.
Someone arrived from my world today who it would be a good idea to be cautious around. Her name is Azula, and she is a very powerful firebender who can also bend lighting. I don't know what she'll do without a Fire Nation here, but I can bet that it won't be anything good.
Don't trust her.
[And so after stalking Azula's entrance into Luceti and conversation with Roku, Katara decides that about now is a good time to interrupt them. So she will gingerly make her way over to where Roku is.]
Hey, Roku? Can I get your help with something?
ETA: And after about 2 minutes, that filter will have been bumped up to 100 via Ginko.

How are you feeling? How's Nami?
[Unhackable]
[Unhackable]
I'm sure that she will. She's strong. And Chopper is a very good doctor.
...after all, he fixed you right up, right? [Poke. Poke, poke, poke.]
[Unhackable]
[Unhackable]
[Unhackable]
... And you? [because now that Nami is safe, he can extend his worry to others without feeling like a mental wall is there]
[Unhackable]
Sore, but I'll be all right. Thanks for asking. I'm just glad that everyone is mostly okay. It was a good plan, Sanji.
[Unhackable]
...
Except the words don't reach his mouth. They stay, locked in his chest. And it takes Sanji a beat of panic to realize he better say something]
Thank you, Katara-chan. [And that's it.]
[Unhackable]
...Sanji?
[Unhackable]
[a pause, and then]
If you're worried about me, it's fine. Just a little tired.
[Unhackable]
...that's not it. All of it, I mean. Is it?
[Unhackable] 1/2
In a split second he's narrowed his options to two - play down what's happened, lie a bit for her sake... or fess up and risk taking out the hurricane of shitty frustrations he's been bottling up for weeks on Katara.
Either way, she's put him in a difficult position.]
[Unhackable]
Sorry, Katara-chan. Just... give me some time, if you would. [runs his hand through his hair, and very briefly the mask of calm slips off - it's like watching someone get stabbed.
But it's back up, quickly.] I'll tell you later.
[Unhackable]
Sanji... [There's a long moment where she just... looks at him in the tiny window of the book, heart aching for him.] If that's what you need, but... I don't like seeing you like this.
You don't always have to be strong, you know. You can tell me. [A pause and then she makes herself add.] Whenever you want.
[Unhackable]
You remind him so much of Nami at times.
Shit, it hurts.]
Tomorrow. [Said gently, but firmly. The lid is already dissolving - he needs to get out of the house] If you're not busy.
[Unhackable]
...you take care.
