[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.]

[And then she laughs - it's relief, pure joy, and gratitude.

And she doesn't hesitate, she runs forward and immediately hugs him.]

It worked! I'm better!

[.....



well that isn't usually a response he gets from his..... anyone.
But he's getting to expect it, just a little, from Katara. So he just blinks and grins and hugs her back.]

...heh.

[The hug is brief, but heart-felt. When she breaks it, she smiles up at him brilliantly before turning to seek out her friends, to look for Sokka.

Look out, bro. There is a quick running hug coming in your direction.]

[He's ready for it. And expect it. After all of that nasty business of stuff coming out of her eyes, he's relieved that she can see again. So he hugs back, a little tighter than he normally does. Because everything is going to be okay. As he does, he looks up at Ginko, giving him a grateful look.]
