[Today, Katara is on a mission. There are people she has to thank for giving her presents, and to that purpose she has prepared small pressed impressions of dried goldenrods in glass (thank you, Usopp and the item shop) or pressed into paper with the words 'Thank You' written on it, depending on what she thinks you'll like more. Yes, this has taken her all week.

She will either be dropping them off at your house, or meeting with you personally to touch base with you. There are a few other people she's on the look out for in particular, and several side missions she also hopes to accomplish. Feel free to bump into her at any point as she goes about her business, whether or not there is a dried flower for you!]

Ginko, where are you today?

Allen - are you busy today? I'd like to stop by.

Brook... [there is some hesitation here] can I ask you a question?

[/filter]

[And sometime after the conversation with Sanji, you'd better believe that she's hunting her brother down. Where will she find him? Will she have to hold his dinner hostage?]

[If she stops by the SH house, she'll no doubt run into Sanji, who will be playing the role of an exhausted-looking door greeter today.]

Certainly, Katara-san. Ask away!

[Sokka got wrapped up in shenanigans with Paru and is playing 'security', so he's out around the shops. Dressed up in a suit and tie, complete with sunglasses. Of course, he's still armed with his sword.]

[She does indeed! Have a pleasant smile, Sanji. Pay no attention to the fact that this the first time she's been out and social since Roku went home, and she will attempt to ignore the fact that you look terrible.]

Good morning, Sanji! Can I come in?

[Sounds like a fair trade! And Sanji's expression lifts anyway, into something much more amiable]

Katara-chan~! Of course! [Moving to the side, now]

Stopping by for a quick visit, or was there something you needed?

[It's a rainy afternoon, but Raine's had a couple of errands to run, so she's prepared with hood and umbrella. Katara gets a friendly wave when she's noticed.]

[She enters the house and waits for him to shut the door behind her.]

Not really? I just wanted to stop by to drop off these 'Thank Yous.' [And she reaches in her bag to draw them out - one for Luffy, and Brook and Nami and Sanji - it's a little awkward seeing him again after that note, and Roku leaving, but - here. It's a pressed golden rod on a sheet of paper for you to hang up in your kitchen or the like, Sanji. Her smile turns a bit shy.] Thank you very much for the present.

Not at all! I could meet you somewhere if it'd be easier.

[He takes the paper, eyebrow shooting up. But he does look honestly delighted] Oh, this is lovely! Thank you.

[His own smile turns warm, though a tinge embarrassed] I hope one day you can use it.

I'm sure I will! [Yes, so, glancing down and back to practical matters so as to not prolong the awkward.] Are any of the others here? Or can I just leave these for them?

[She's... not exactly sure what prompted her to ask this but...] About those music lessons... do think you'd have an instrument that I could learn?

[It's quite a bit after she's spoken to Sanji, so Katara has had time to think and get completely distracted by--]

What are you wearing?

[Oh hey. It's his sister. He lowers his shades to look at her.]

Just something Paru found for me. What do you think? [It's just his size and everything. He's one sharp looking individual. Aside from the goofy grin.]

Most of them are out - I'll hand these to them later.

[Katara waves back and approaches.] Hi, Professor! How are you today?

Sure! I'm in town right now - what place is good for you?

Well enough, Katara. How have you been?

Oh. [She's a little disappointed by this, but she hands them over quickly enough.] The one in the glass is for Nami, this one's for Brook, and this one's for Luffy.

[Daw, now he feels a little bad. He'll yell at Luffy and Brook for not being around]

Got it.

...[She takes this chance to look at him objectively. And, honestly, he doesn't look half bad. But. Weird.]

You look like you belong in a store window.

[ ... 8D ]

There are numerous types of instruments - I'm positive that we can find one fitting for you!

If you don't have anything in mind, we could always take a trip down to the item shop! There are several to choose from there.

[Vash is shockingly at home today if you're looking for him!]

[Nothing can deflate his ego. At least not that.]

Only because I look cool, Katara. People dress up like this time on Earth, you know. [But then he just shrugs.] What are you up to?

Busy! I wasn't sure what I'd do all day without school in the mornings, but with the draft coming I can really use the extra time.
