[It's the second day of a heatwave, and it's amazing how little things like weather can drive man-eating butterflies, flying trees of burning pointy doom, and missing friends from a Southern Watertibe girl's mind. ...OK, maybe not that last one, but she's feeling this heat in her bones, man, and it's driven her to put on her Fire Nation outfit and just lounge around, trying not to think about the horrible things she's seen week... which of course makes her think about the horrible things she's seen everywhere.

But the best way to get rid of bad memories is to think about good ones... and when that fails, make them.

And so, Katara Has An Idea. She grabs her brother, he agrees, and they make their way to the center of the square and set up a table. It's laden with fruits and sugars and stacks of glasses.

A little bit of waterbending later? And that fountain is now completely iced over, meant to resemble one of their 'Great Wonders of the World', an ice oasis in the middle of the desert.

When they're all set up, Katara makes a voice entry.]

Hey, everyone! Come on to the fountain for free fruit slushies!

[Feel free to come upon them on any part of the process, stop by for a slushie, or take a look at the pretty ice-fountain! Either Sokka, Katara or (eventually, as I have to run out right now) both will answer!]

It's technically my mother's, but- [I stole it.] -yes, the armor was made by the god of forging, among other things.

That's amazing.

There's a god for forging? Our world doesn't even have a spirit for forging!

We have gods for almost everything.

Hmm.

Do you have a god for that uncanny feeling you get when you leave the house and think you forgot something but have no idea what?

There's probably a minor god in charge of that particular feeling, yes. [She's kidding.]

Sokka!

Ow! It's a legitimate question!

[She laughs.] Don't worry about it.

See Katara? She doesn't mind at all.

She is not the one you need to be worrying about. [Glare, glare.]

[Aaaah no fighting.] Serving slushies is a great idea. I'm sure a lot of people would want one in this warm weather.

[She glances behind them.] And the fountain is beautiful, Katara.

[Gawd Katara. Why do you have to embarrass him in front of the nice Amazon lady?]

[~~Jerk. That's her line.~~ She smiles at Diana.]

Thanks! I didn't do much, though. I'm just helping it keep it's shape. I had to leave the inside loose so it wouldn't clog up. That's why it keeps changing.

It seemed like a nice thing to do on a day like this.

And quite thoughtful, too. [She turns to Sokka.] May I ask why you're interested in my armor? Do you also fight like your sister?

As a matter of fact, yes. Yes I am. A warrior of the Southern Water Tribe. Considered by some to be a master swordsman, even.

But I also work at the smithy.

Oh, absolutely. His fame is only matched by his modesty.

You work at the smithy? You must know Winry, then.

... yeah. I do. [Except she's gone missing to spirits know where.]
