kyoshi | [Voice / Action] backdated to the 13th

[Locked from Sokka]

Hey everyone, just a head's up that Sokka and I will be unavailable for a few days. We should be back sometime next week, so don't worry.

And if you see him first, do me a favour and don't tell him! But you can wish him a happy anniversary, if you want.

Kyoshi Warriors, if you could check in and let me know you're alright, I'd appreciate it, especially after that last experiment. I'd like to make sure we still have a full roster of members. This Sunday's practice is cancelled since I'll be out of the village, but don't slack off on your training, okay?

Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Kyoshi Warriors of Luceti are a group of girls learning self-defense and stealth combat techniques. If anyone is interested in joining or finding out more about the group, I'd be happy to answer any questions!

[With that, Suki makes herself busy with some packing. She'll make a round to all of her housemates first to let them know she and Sokka will be AWOL, then it's off to the smithy, backpack in hand, to ninja-kidnap her unsuspecting fiance.]

[And he's walking in with a sigh] Aaah~ah. I don't know if you can feel it in that ball, Linda, but it's a lot hotter in here. ...Actually can you even hear me?

[sjhdgsdkf whowhatwhy is someone- Suki sets free a quiet "eep" and ducks down into the water, eyes wide. She's not naked or anything but she's still scantily-clad enough to not want to share her attire with the world. Or in this case-]

Masaomi?

[...Seriously. He jumps a little when he hears the voice, but he doesn't start much more than that. He doesn't blush or have a dramatic reaction. He just sighs, sees this one large rock, and slides up against it into a sitting position so he's not looking at the origin of that voice]

That's me.

[...Um. Whoa, awkward. Suki slides on over to the edge of the pool, grabbing her towel.]

What are you doing here?

I've been wandering aimlessly in the mountains for several days now.

Okay... I guess a better question would by why.

[She pulls herself out of the water, wrapping the towel around herself before stepping over to tap his shoulder. It's okay to look now, she won't punch him or anything.]

[When he looks up, his expression looks more or less like this. Oh. You're in a towel. That's cool.]

Recovering, hiding? A bit of both, Suki...chan.

Hiding...

[...Ahaha... the experiment. Katara. Yeah, she'd noticed a few things, actually, since it had ended. She has to ask.]

...Because of Katara?

Winner, winner! We have a winner!!

[And he even puts on a... it probably was meant to be a smile. It doesn't work]

I'm not sure I can celebrate after hearing that. [She twists her hair a bit to drain some of the water out, her expression concerned.] You two were close, weren't you? In that... other universe, or whatever it's called.

No. The two of us are close regardless of the universe.

[Perhaps a bit more defensively than is needed]

I'm aware of that already. You should know what I meant.

[A girl doesn't cry for an entire day just because she remembers a friend in a new way. It's different.]

Ah, of course I do. But don't treat me like I'm normally a stranger.

[Exhale. He looks away from her - in part because of the towel and in part because it just. Isn't an eye contact he wants to make]

"She" loved "him." From what I remember of it, it was actually a pretty touching story.

[...And that's probably exactly what he wants.

Ouch.]

I'm sorry... that must be hard for you.

[He doesn't... want to accept that. He knows it's genuine, but he brushes off that concern with a glance back]

How's she?

She's... [...been crying. It was hard.] ...She says she's okay.

[But if he knows Katara as well as he claims, it's probably easy to guess how honest that is.]

Ah, so basically, she's not.

[...He hopes it gets better. He had hoped, maybe it still will. Maybe he can save it]

She's probably feeling some of what you're feeling right now.

[Not the same, she imagines, since things aren't exactly perfect between them. But similar.]

She needs some time to work it through. You too, right? That's why you're up here.

Mm, it's true. That is more or less why I'm here.

Were you planning to use the bathhouse up here?

[She's. Admittedly kind of hoping not. It's hard to privately celebrate one's anniversary with company.]

Ah, not really. I've been in a valley not far from here, and I'm going down to a more base level to meet someone.

[Just. Came in here to warm up]

Well, we've got some food in the cottage, and Sokka's out exploring or something for the moment. Did you want to have some tea?

...Are you sure, Suki-chan? I really don't want to intrude.

I don't mind. Sokka won't be back for a while anyway, and you look like you could use it.

[...Well. Standing, shrugging] If you insist~?
