[ Action, Voice ] .021
Hey, Caesar! Do you mind if I stop by this afternoon? [Because mind or not, she is coming. But before she gets there, if you asked after her while she had eye-mushi and she hasn't spoken to you yet, she's looking for you. She will be all about town, since she doesn't know where some of you live. She also plans on checking in with Sokka and the rest of the Gaang at some point today.]
[And later in the evening, after dinner and far past when she is usually fast asleep, you can find Katara practicing not far from her house. Since Ginko died she's been robbed of her rest - combine that with the draft list being posted and she's decided to cope the only way she knows how - by using the time to find some peace. For that purpose, she is doing a special form. She runs through the first without doing any bending at all. When she repeats it, she bends thin tendrils of water up and around and over, following the movements of her hands - and when one catches her eye she freezes it in place, creating a small practice area of frozen arches and swirls.
They won't last long, especially not in the heat of a summer night. That's not the point. That's not the point at all.]

[action - evening. this was predictable. XD]
You really do understand the water.
[action - evening. Let's see if we can get a good conversation out of 'em! XD]
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 - WOOT]
[She's not even sure why; her power is already water and it's not like this will give her more. But something about the movements seems so peaceful, connected to the water.]
[action]
Maybe. I don't know - how do you usually use water?

... Of course it could, at that. He leans against a tree, wraps a hand around the hilt of his sword, and lets his eyes close for a moment. It isn't long at all before the air around him grows colder. Moments after, Katara may find it cooler where she's bending and may find her ice isn't melting off as quickly as it was before.]
[action]
Hitsugaya. [A smile. She'd been looking for you earlier. She inclines her head vaguely behind her, indicating the no-longer dripping arch of ice.] Is this your work?

When he sees who it is, he'll halt several yards away, and crouch down casually, watching as Katara goes from straight kata, to the water bending version. He's a bit fascinated by the whole thing, really.]
no subject
And in the end, it's only the sense that someone is watching which makes her finish her set and stand ready, as she asks in the completely wrong direction:] Is someone out there?
no subject
[Derek will stand as he quietly answers her, making it so that she can see him more easily.]
Interesting style. Was just watching it.
no subject
[She reaches out a hand to tentatively touch one of the spires, careful not to send it crashing from where it was rooted in the ground.] I don't usually practice like this.
[She's a little embarrassed to be caught using her skills so impractically by someone older. But practicality hadn't really been the point either.]

Gah, sorry I have been so slow on this
No worries...this week has been one big ugly for me...:P
Notif Fail hasn't helped either D:
No it hasn't. Even when I get them, they're often out of order and hours late

dadsmasters, but also on his own. Which he'll be doing in the barracks. Unfortunately his training dummy machine is a long way from completion, so he's just going through his own forms. It's been an entire month since his spat with Sanji and his decision todoubletriple his efforts in training.The effort definitely shows. His motions are not as rigid as they were in the past. Although his style is very much free form and improvised, there's more skill there than just the simple reflexes and quick thinking that had always dominated his way of fighting. He's pretty into what he's doing too, so even when Katara comes to check on him, he might not immediately notice her.]
no subject
She'll watch and evaluate a bit more in silence, not as his sister, but as a fellow warrior.]
no subject
HA! You you could sneak up on Thunderaxe? Sorry Fire Loser, you'll have to try harder to get the jump on me! [More confident? Yes. More mature? ... no.]
