[Katara pauses in her form, with the absolute stillness this discipline brings, to look over her shoulder and see the girl that she knows as Mercury.
Some of the peace she'd gained in this moonlit action leaves her, and she can't help but tense as she deliberately completes the set. Despite her best intentions to treat each interaction with Mercury as a new one, their past encounters have built up her defensiveness towards the other girl, and in doing so, lowered her perception of the other's intentions.
But there's nothing snide in Mercury's tone tonight, the moon is shining, and this is meant to be a time of preparation, not of battle. So she turns to face the other girl, framed by fragile and impossible spires of ice.] Thank you.
[action - evening. Let's see if we can get a good conversation out of 'em! XD]
