I've been there two and a half years. What am I supposed to do now?

[ Get hugged by Mako, that's what. ]

[waterbends]

Sorry I couldn't stick around to be your ace in the hole, Mako.

[ idiosyncrasies are okay in dear mun, right.. ]

[spats]

[ Always. Chuckling, he chins her hair. ]

You always were, Katara. I'm sure you'll be fine, whatever it is that you do next.

[waterbends]

[ She finally wraps her arms around him in return, pressing her face into his shoulder to sigh. ]

I think I'm gonna be shelved for a while. .. you'll do me a favor, right?

[spats]

At least you'll get a much-deserved break. [ A gloved hand rubs comfortingly up and down her back as he peers inquiringly. ] Sure, what is it?

[everlastingturmoil]

.. my mun says she's sorry.

[waterbends]

For what?

[everlastingturmoil]

Not keeping up with me, I guess.

[waterbends]

.. neither has mine. She was going to make me bloodbend, Jet.

[everlastingturmoil]

Are you alright?

[savedtheworld]

Katara...

You can start over somewhere else. Or you can finally go home. It looks like things are getting better there.

[waterbends]

.. I don't want to go anywhere else, Aang. And I don't want to go home, knowing that I've left everyone there.

[savedtheworld]

You can't control it, Katara. Not in these places. You just have to take comfort in the good you were able to do there. And... you can see them back home, too. So you know they'll make it back. They're gonna be okay.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

[waterbends]

What? No. No, that's not your fault - you couldn't help that. [ Her fingers twitch unhappily. ] I don't think I was me anymore, anyway. I was about to do some... really bad things. I'm glad you weren't there.

[savedtheworld]

I don't believe that you would do anything that's really bad. Or that you'd ever stop being you. But if you were going through something where you thought that... I'd want to be there for you.

[pinkaura]

Oh Katara, it just makes my aura so blue to hear that.

[waterbends]

I'm so sorry, Ty Lee. I wanted to see you again.

[angle_on_it]

That place was hard on you... I hope you'll be able to rest some now. Really rest, not that still-doing-chores-because-no-one-else-does-them-right-rest you pass off as relaxation.

[waterbends]

Hi, Sokka. And- you know, I don't think I'll have a choice.

[angle_on_it]

I guess most times don't, do we? Sucks. Gonna be okay with that?

[waterbends]

I'll be fine. I just think it's gonna take time.

[timespacemessiah]

I don't quite understand. What is troubling you, girl?

[waterbends]

Change is hard. That's all.

[timespacemessiah]

What sort of change would you be referring to?

[waterbends]

I've been in a game for two and a half years. I'm not anymore.
