[And Katara is waiting for Suki at the door, pulling it open and getting ready to greet the other girl -- before realizing that she's in tears.]

Oh, sweetheart.

[It comes in a sort of surprised breath, and Katara is lunging forward, grabbing her in a tight hug before she really has the chance to say anything else.]

[fanismighter]

[And Suki didn't even bother with words. Right when she was in Katara's arms, she clung to her friend and just began to sob. Spirits, she was in so much pain right now. She probably look like a mess, but she didn't care. She was a girl with a broken heart, she was allowed to be like this.]

[kyasdaughter]

Suki..

[Katara just holds her friend for a few long moments, before drawing her inside and shutting the door. She leads her to the kitchen table, struggling to make a mental inventory of the kitchen. Do they have tea?]

What, exactly, happened?

[fanismighter]

[Suki followed Katara. She was broken, but still able to hold herself up. This heart break wouldn't last forever, but it just hurt so much right now.

The warrior took a seat, leaning back into the chair.]

Sokka, we're... we're over. [Spirits. It was hard to say. It made it true by speaking it.]

[kyasdaughter]

What? But why?

[She let her hand linger on Suki's shoulder, before hastily moving to make her some tea.]

You two seemed really happy together...

[fanismighter]

I guess it was a lie. Apparently I'm nothing more than a roommate to him. [She sighs.] I hate feeling like this.

[kyasdaughter]

I'm really sorry, Suki. It's just.. weird, everything in this place.

[She starts a small pot of tea.]

Maybe it's for the best.. one of you two might go home any time, and then you'd never see each other again.

[fanismighter]

Maybe you're right. Maybe this is for the best. [She really does agree, but she's just in a lot of pain right now.] My head seems to know that... [And she just rest her hand on her chest, almost in pain.

[kyasdaughter]

But it's hard to get your head to listen sometimes. I understand.

[She slides the tea onto the table in front of Suki.]

Here, drink this. It'll help you feel better.

[fanismighter]

Thanks Katara. [She took the cup and had a sip of tea.]

I was wondering, would it be alright if I stay here?

[kyasdaughter]

Of course it would!

[Katara huffs softly, as if she wasn't even considering otherwise.]

We have a whole spare room, and you're welcome to it.

[fanismighter]

Thanks. I kinda don't want to see Sokka right now, or be around him.

[kyasdaughter]

I can't say I blame you. [Katara smiles a little wryly at her.] Hey.. at least it's better than the two of you being hopelessly in love and the Animus sending him home, right?

[It's a little flat. Good job, Katara.]

[fanismighter]

I guess you're right. It'll just take me awhile to get to that point.

[kyasdaughter]

Let's do something tonight to get your mind off of it.

[fanismighter]

That'd be great actually. Do you have any idea what to do?
