...Um... can anyone tell me what day it is?

[Which might explain why she came home to an empty house after being unceremoniously dumped in the woods about ten minutes away from it. She's surprisingly okay after a Mallynap, just kind of confused as to why everyone is gone this morning. (That might have something to do with it being a school day, woo. Not that she knows that.)

After some food and a good long nap, Suki will head out for some fresh air; she might linger around the smithy or the school, depending on the time of day. Bother her?]

Follow me.

[kyoshi]

[Suki follows! Glancing around at the shelves, meanwhile. There's quite the weapon supply here.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's good to see you're back. Did the Malnosso do anything weird to you?

[kyoshi]

No, they didn't hurt me as far as I know. I don't really remember what happened.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And no lingering effects so far?

[kyoshi]

Not that I've noticed. [She's had other stuff on her mind.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Here they are, but are you feeling all right?

[kyoshi]

[Suki quietly studies the swords for a long moment before she lowers her eyes.]

...Sokka... told me what happened last week.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Right... are you upset with him?

[kyoshi]

...I don't know what to think. It's not like it was his fault, but... [He saw her naked this is not okay.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'd look at it as less of a 'fault' then a 'choice.' Do you think he disrespected your body while he was in it?

[kyoshi]

Katara said she changed his clothes, and he kept his eyes closed. [That was reassuring, yeah. But that doesn't mean he didn't see anything the whole time... it just means she doesn't have a reason to beat him senseless.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I hope you both work it out, but... if you want a person to talk to I'll listen.

[kyoshi]

[Suki shifts a bit awkwardly, lifting a hand to brush over the sheath of a particularly elaborate katana. It would be nice to just forget about the whole issue, but... it's not that easy, even with distractions.]

Am I... being unreasonable?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

What? No, of course not! Anyone would be upset in your situation, and you seem to be handling it fine.

[kyoshi]

...I think I really hurt him, too. [Which bothers her. ...And that probably sounds wrong, what with her still fingering the katana, but oh well.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Hurt him emotionally?

[kyoshi]

[Erk.] Y... yeah.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

He's a strong guy, and not just physically. Just because he's upset doesn't mean you don't have the right to be upset as well. Maybe you both need some space to figure things out, but I'm sure you'll work it out. Just give it time.

[kyoshi]

Time... [That's... probably for the best, really. She can't blame him, and she doesn't want to hurt him, but she's not just going to brush it off like it's nothing. Not something like that.

She's quiet for a long moment, then she lifts the katana off the shelf, smiling faintly at Winry. It's a start, right...?]

I think I like this one.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Then it's yours. Does it need to be sharpened?

[kyoshi]

I think I should test it out a few times and get back to you, how does that sound? [Also maybe she shouldn't have a sharp sword while she's mad at Sokka, WOO]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Sounds great. Is there anything else I can help you with?

[kyoshi]

No, that's fine. It's... something we need to work out. Talking it out with everyone is just going to make things messy, I think.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I meant with something in the shop, but I understand.
