[It's nighttime in Luceti and Roku's sitting atop the roof of House 56. Why was he up there? Probably bored and was watching the stars or maybe just checking the damage done by Zuko's attempt to firebend. Possibility of leaks are not fun...and no, he's not holding off on that talk he was suppose to have with Zuko, not at all.

It's more like...where do you even start? A war, Azula, grandchildren...his grandson being labeled a traitor. He sighs and flops on his back.]

A lot sure can happen in more then a hundred years.

I did? That's the first time then.



...Uh, sorry. I don't know what came over me...

[markofthebrave]

...with Aang, it happened whenever he got really upset. [Her gaze flickers to their smoldering house.] But... he never did anything like this. Although I guess he came close a couple of times.

[Her gaze returns to him.] Do you know what the Avatar state is for? It usually comes to protect the Avatar if they feel like they're in a lot of danger.

...I guess, hearing what my best friend did became too much. I almost wish I didn't know.

Yea, I know how it's triggered...I guess my beliefs were in danger so it just came out.

[markofthebrave]

[There's a long pause.] ...I'm sorry that you had to hear it like that. It's not fair to you.

[She hears Sokka yelling at Zuko in the background and can't help but glance at their house again -- she can see a bit of her room there, through the lovely smoldering hole in the wall and she just... sighs a little.] Listen - it didn't happen yet. Not for you. So we'll give you what time you need to adjust to it, but... it's hard for all of us. We've been dealing with what happened... our whole lives.

[A quick, tentative smile.] But it did work out. And it's going to work out. So you can hold on to that, if you can.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

If you say so.



Ah...is there anything I can do to help here?

[markofthewise]

[And here's an extremely, extremely upset Sokka storming over. He gives Roku a scathing glance before turning to Katara.]

Why do we let Zuko live with us, again?

[markofthebrave]

[Sigh. She glances at the house - and her heart hurts a little.] Because. He's our friend. Even if he is an idiot.

[She glances back to Roku... and yeah, there's a lot of work that needs to be done now. They need to remove all the smoldering wood. They need to set up some sort of tarp. They need to clean up the inside of the house and throw out what can't be saved. But.] If you need some time, we'll understand. There's plenty to do. We'll be at it for a while.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't want you two cleaning up the mess I made, yourselves...if this house can still be saved that is. You guys have been good to me and gave me a place to stay afterall.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, yeah. The place will be fixed up in a few days. Worse case scenario, we can steal some rooms at the housing next door until the Malnosso do their thing on it. [More importantly, he fetches some ice cubes from his pocket.] Hey Katara. Do you mind? [He holds out his burned hand.] Doorknob was hot.

[markofthebrave]

[If they'd walked away from every house that a firebender had destroyed, they'd have run out of habitable space in the South Pole. And just as she was about to reassure Roku that it would be fine, Sokka shows her his burn.]

Oh, you idiot. You know better than that! What were you thinking?

[With that she puts her hand on top of the ice cubes and gets to work, melting them. It won't take long, this is the kind of damage her healing works with best.]

[markofthewise]

I wasn't. I was too busy yelling at Zuko. [Ah, but feels a lot better having the pain soothed away. Isn't this amazing, Roku? If Jeong Jeong was here, he'd tell you about how this is so much better than fire.]

[markofthebrave]

[She doesn't say anything until she's done, and when she removes her hand his is completely healed. And after her day of fighting Zuko, putting out fires, and now healing Sokka -- top of recovering from her fight with Aku... she sways a little as the tiredness hits her, but stays on her feet. And if she was going to say something clever about 'Funny how boys do stupid things when they're mad,' it's forgotten in favor of staying on her feet.]

Well. We'd better get to work.
