[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.]

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

I invite. But come on. [She waves for him to follow, leading the way into the bathhouse. He can come or leave as he likes, she's not going to harass him about it.

...Still. Might be nice to talk.]

[Okay, okay. He'll follow with a smile not quite sincere but still plastered on his lips. He can kill a little time and if she's inviting...]

How could I refuse a lady as pretty as you?

If you're going to say things like that, you'd better be ready to duck. Sokka brought his boomerang.

[She goes about setting the kettle to boil once she're in the kitchenette, fetching a couple of teacups.]

I think I missed a memo where I can't compliment you, Suki-chan.

[But okay, fair enough]

No memo, not even a rule. I just figured you deserved fair warning.

[She knows that Sokka doesn't like you putting the moves on his sister. What would happen if he noticed the fiancee compliments?]

Mmm, it's fair. [He says this sheepishly as he finds a good wall to lean against. He... well no he can fault Sokka, but he can't fault him too much]

[Give her a minute, and she'll head back over with a steaming cup in hand, offering it out to him. The teabag is still in it - sorry, slow-brewing stuff just isn't practical on a camping trip - so he can have it as strong or weak as he likes.]

...Have you spoken to her since things went back to normal?

[She's pretty sure he doesn't want to discuss it, but there are a few things she'd like to hear, honestly.]

[He takes it, and he'll regulate that yeah... but at that question he recoils a bit and shakes his head] No, I haven't. [A pause, and he slides into sitting against the wall, still holding the cup] I told her I was leaving and I'd see her when I was right.

That's not much. [Probably for the best, though. He should get his thoughts straight before he tries to handle this issue.]

..Ah, well. I did kill her.

[Yep]

...You- what?

[Okay, she knows there's something wrong with that one. Especially since she just saw Katara.]

I killed her. Specifically, the "her" that knew I was from your world.

...You reported her? When that... 'error correction' thing didn't work?

Mmhm. She came to visit me- or well, "him" - early in the morning. We talked a short while and... I reported her. [To her face. That look... but it was what was right]

[Suki seems to agree.]

You did the right thing. ...It must have been hard, though.

Ah, it was.

[...Looking at his tea now]

That Katara, though... it wasn't really her. If she'd stayed that way, maybe she'd have loved you, but she wouldn't be the one you love.

[He nods. Yeah, he had considered that. But to be honest, it might have been preferable. Easier]

More to the point, I wasn't "him."

...Mm. That too. [Though she doesn't know that as much; she'd only met that Masaomi briefly, it's not like she knew him well. Though she can't say she knows this Masaomi much better, admittedly.]

After all, "he" was the one she loved. The impressive one, too, though I don't remember all the details.

Impressive one? I'm sure you both have your own merits.

Should you really be saying that, Suki-chan?

[Much belated, he takes out the bag. Probably made it too strong now. Oh well]

I'm just being honest, you know.

[She shrugs slightly, lifting the teacup to her lips to blow on it a bit before taking a sip. She's not about to argue the pros and cons of two versions of a boy she hardly knows.]

Thank you, in any case.

[Siiiip]
