[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.

[Ginko will be upgrading that filter to 100%, if you give him a moment ~~and Sanji doesn't fix it first~~. His voice is a little tired. ]

Tightened that filter.

More trouble already, Katara? [a pause. In a lower tone.] Is this...what you meant before?

[well, since the green-eyed bastard beat him to filtering, Sanji will nod at the warning]

Azula? Alright, Katara-chan.

Sure! What do you need help with?

Thanks. How are you feeling?

Um, it seems like it. I don't know. Seeing Azula was never a good thing. And what do you mean?

No problem.

How are you feeling? How's Nami?

... She's been through a lot. [Katara saw, after all] But Nami-san will be okay with Chopper watching over her - just give her a few days to rest up.

[Uh... great. What DOES she need help with?]

If you could grab me a bowl of soup, that would be really great. I don't want to have to stretch up for the bowls.

I'm fine. [And a smile to prove it. Nothing like sleep and a good meal.]

You mentioned her to me before-- after the electric power started running through the houses.

You said you were afraid she could turn this place "into a war zone"....? [a pause] Is she so dangerous? [he'll be stalking that entry now, thanks. There's a lot he's missed in the journals.]

[Yeah, she saw you not answering her other question. She does that all the time. Time to poke a little bit.]

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.]

Heh, Chopper wouldn't let me out of the house if he hadn't. [a bit of a smirk because it's so true]

Uh, all right.

So, you know we have someone else who just came from our world? I think she's from your time.

Good.

Oh... right. [Yeah, she's still scared of that.] I spoke to Sokka about that... he doesn't think she'd be able to use it unless she learns how to redirect the electricity. So that should be okay... I hope.

And... I don't know. Azula always had a purpose. We were at war. And war is... different. I don't know what she'll do here. But she's one of the most dangerous benders I've ever seen. And she's smart. She was able to take over the city of Ba Sing Se just by taking advantage of the political situation.

So you're all right. [Flat out asking now, Sanji.]

Ah, yes. Nothing I haven't handled before. [smiles encouragingly] Chopper really wouldn't let me out of his sight if it was anything serious.

... And you? [because now that Nami is safe, he can extend his worry to others without feeling like a mental wall is there]

Yeah, I did, actually. ...and Roku, there's something I need to tell you.

[She'll sit down on the couch and hope that he does the same.]

[That is not really answering her question.]

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.

[Ugh, this chick with her firebending shit again. But the lightning...he does not like the sound of that.]

Lemme guess. Burns people for fun.

Well. Hopefully she'll quickly find there's nothing like politics here. There are certainly individuals with strength to match hers-- intelligence, too. [firmly] She's only a prisoner in this place, just like everyone else.

[You know, for some reason-- he just doesn't like just talking to Katara through the journals. And since he's already in town-- holed up in the library after slipping out of the Straw Hat house in the afternoon--]

...Katara, do you mind if I stop by?

[his lips twitch up into a smile - such a sweet thing for Katara-chwan to grace him with~!

...

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.]

[Katara could have very happily spent the rest of her life never talking to Raphael again. But Sokka told her to include him, and so she is going to do her best to be fair, to all involved.]

I don't know that she does it for fun. I know that she does it without regret. There are a lot of ways to hurt someone. Fire's only one of them.

I'm not afraid of Azula. [And she'd say more, but Ginko's question is unexpected.] Of course not! I'm just resting up a bit, but you're always welcome.

[...that's not right. There's something there that's just -- not right. She can't put her finger on it. But still.]

...Sanji?

[Yeah ditto. But in a twisted way, Raph sees this as a way of proving he's not scared of her, and won't take her crap lying down.]

No way, really? Ain't you just fulla new information.

[There's a magnificent eyeroll to top off that sarcasm.]

This time, try answerin' without pointin' out the obvious. How dangerous is she?

[And here comes Sokka into the living room. He sets himself down on a chair slowly, still sore from the battle. He doesn't even bother pulling off the fake beard after his conversation with Azula. He doesn't say anything just yet.]

Is something wrong?

[a pause, and then]

If you're worried about me, it's fine. Just a little tired.
