[Action, Voice ] .020

[After doing everything she could at home to deal with the fact that Zuko was gone, Katara headed out to the lake where she proceeded to bend and cry until she was exhausted. The storm feels good. She made her weary way back to the house with something of a headache, but she didn't think much of it. So what if the lights hurt her eyes? That was normal after so much crying and rage, right?

She fell into a deep, exhausted sleep as soon as she hit the bed. When morning light first entered her room, Katara shifted uneasily. Soon enough she opens her eyes to start the day - and screams. This was beyond a headache, it was like a screaming in her eye, a shooting pain, a burning.

Katara immediately slaps both hands over her eyes and sways back and forth a little to comfort and distract herself from the pain. After a moment of panicked breathing, her adrenaline kicks in and Katara shifts one hand to cover her eyes and fumbles for her journal with the other. Filtering is hopeless right now, even if it had occurred to her, although she'd much rather keep this private. Her voice is scared and filled with suppressed quivering.]

Ginko? I think something's wrong.

[And with that, she clings on to the journal and hopes that someone answers her soon. She can't see anything and it hurts.]

[also gets here late, though not as late as I'm getting to it, sorry. ;;. Ed, at least, does take the time to read through some of the other replies.]

Dammit. She going to be alright?

[markofthewise]

[Oh hi, Ed. Sokka is too worried at the moment to be annoyed at you.]

I don't know. We're waiting for Ginko to get back.

[the feeling is mutual. Ed curses softly under his breath.]

She better be, or I'm going to find this Ginko guy and kick his ass.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka says this firmly, his doubts about Ginko are suddenly no more.]

He did everything he could. And he'll be back. He wouldn't abandon Katara to something like this.

[that takes him by surprise for a moment. but while Ed may not like Sokka, he's more or less judged him to be competent, so he'll take him at his word.]

Alright. Anything I can do to help?

[markofthewise]

[The offer would mean a bit more if Sokka's mind wasn't elsewhere.]

I don't think so.

[smalldamnhero.livejournal.com]

Tch. Figures. [he hates being helpless.] Just let me know how she's doing later.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, sure. [He probably will need to do that for a lot of people.]
