[The past few days have been good for Katara. The happy from mending her rift with Sanji hasn't faded, rather it has turned into a sort of muted contentment and being outside and with good company was good for the soul.

Of course, not everyone was having such a good time... but she couldn't really blame Caesar for that, considering the way he'd shown up. Everyone else seemed to be... mostly getting along. And it was so nice to be doing that which felt a little bit more familiar.

Not to mention the fact that she's been able to spend so much time in and around the water. Just now, she was taking a swim after dinner. It was so good to be so close to so much water again - just feel it on her senses, tugging at her awareness. It was almost like home, but in a way that made her happy instead of sad - because she refused to be sad as long as she had a choice about it.

Getting up, she wrings the water out of her hair and bends the rest off before making her way towards her journal.

If you are out there camping, feel free to bump into her at the lake, or on her way back to the campsite!]

I hope everyone's doing all right back at the village! It's beautiful out here.

[Oi, what's wrong with her bindings? They are perfectly modest. You can probably even see as much, in the journal's window.

...which means everyone she's talking to probably can too. Oh well.]

Sokka is good at building things - he always used to like to watch. It came in handy, after all the men left.

Whale skin and bone. The skin can be stretched out and dried to be nearly as tough as wood. It can stand up to nearly anything, but it's still not as good for rougher waters, so we import wood for that.

[If by "modest" you mean "unwrappable", then yes. 8| Sanji knows how the minds of teenage boys work.

And color Sanji impressed here]

Whale skin? [The look in his eye probably says he just recited at least twelve recipes that involve whale meat.] Well, it makes sense you'd use as much of the animal as possible.

[... she never thought of it that way. HER INNOCENT BRAIN. It's a good thing this conversation never actually took place.

And she nods.]

That's one of the most important things that you learn back home - never to let anything go to waste. There's always a use for something. We used tiger-seal skin to make our tents and furs to make our clothes...

And it's about respect too - we hunt them down and take their life. It's only right that we put it to good use, so that their death has meaning.

[That's alright - Sanji will subconsciously growl at any teenager who gets too close to her anyway. 8|b EVERYONE WINS.]

Such wisdom you speak~! Katara-chan would fit perfectly in my world~!

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Except for the poor teenagers. And gosh, Sanji, youre so silly. Katara fights the impulse to roll her eyes and blush. And maybe succeeds at the former more than the latter.]

It's not my wisdom or anything like that - it's just the way life is.
