We've been getting an awful lot of rain this month so far, haven't we? Was it this bad last year?

Speaking of "year"... getting pretty close to my first, now. A lot has happened to make it feel a lot shorter than it is. I guess it took me by surprise...

[Filtered to the Kyoshi Warriors]

Hey everyone, just a quick announcement:

Be sure to put in some extra practice today if you can, because tomorrow I plan on running a private tournament between you all to see how you're doing. It's hand-to-hand only, so you can use whatever techniques you've learned so far. Get a good night's sleep the night before, okay?

Next week I'd like to try some acrobatics, so we'll meet in the Battle Dome.

[Filtered to Toph]

Hey, Toph, if you're not busy today, want to work on some training? I have a few ideas I'd like to try.


[Suki is out and about today, picking some stuff up at the plaza, checking on the status of the uniforms, and hiding out in one of the shops when the rain hits. Otherwise, housemates can find her at home- probably soaked to the bone when she arrives, poor thing.]

[markofthewise]

I know, right? And it's an adult kind of thing. We never do adult things like that. Which is odd, given we are, technically, adults.

[They just do... other adult things.]

[kyoshi]

It's a good place to start, then. [And maybe she'll have to ask around about that. Hopefully without making it sound like she's-

...oh goodness. Okay. Not publicly, then...]

[markofthewise]

Speaking of which... it looks like nobody's home right now...

[Are you ponder what he's pondering?]

[kyoshi]

...In the middle of the day?

[A slight teasing tone, definitely not a rejection. She's more amused than anything else.]

[markofthewise]

Well it's been a whole week, so...

[What's wrong with some middle of the day fun? It just leaves more time for other stuff later!]

[kyoshi]

And whose fault is that, Camper Thunderaxe?

[Again, teasing, though- since she's already taking his hand and tugging him towards the hall.]

[markofthewise]

That's Mister Camper Thunderaxe, thank you. And it's Luke's fault.

[But consider him being led away. His room or her's?]

[kyoshi]

[Definitely, hers; he's the popular one in this household.]

You know, you could've come home to visit when he did.

[markofthewise]

[But he has the bigger bed! But he probably left it a mess anyway.]

But then he'd feel justified. I couldn't let him have that.

[kyoshi]

[Small bed means close contact! He'll like it.]

Oh, course not. Not even to see your lonely fiancee.

[markofthewise]

You could have always come to visit me instead, you know.

[Oh, Momo is on her bed. Sokka will just deposit him outside, then close the door.]

[kyoshi]

But then we couldn't have this nice reunion. I kind of prefer it this way.

[Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. Now c'mere you.]

[markofthewise]

[He leans in to steal a quick kiss.]

So do I. [Well, there he is, standing at the foot of her bed. Have at him.]
