[accidental video post]

[The video feed turns on, glimpses of portraits on the walls are shown and it's easy enough to tell that Sasuke is in the Hall of Missing. There's one picture he focuses on which would be that of his brother, Itachi]

-- to think that even he left too, despite having died... [He should have expected this, really he should since his brother was dead

[Having lost Sokka once, Katara knows how he feels. Even if she only has a vague idea that Itachi's his brother.]

.... I'm sorry about your loss.

[cursed_ninja]

...It's nothing that hasn't happened before.

[drizzlinginside]

Still... it always hurts when it happens.

[cursed_ninja]

Tch. What would you know of it?

[drizzlinginside]

Some of my friends left before, and even if some of them came back, the feeling of losing them the first time still hurts.

[cursed_ninja]

I'd hardly consider this the same.

[drizzlinginside]

How come? Isn't he... a close relative? [You do look the same.]

[cursed_ninja]

My brother.

[That's all he's saying, not even going to bother expanding on that]

[drizzlinginside]

Then, it must be harder... I once lost my brother, too..

[cursed_ninja]

He wasn't meant to be here, it wasn't natural.

[drizzlinginside]

What do you mean?

[cursed_ninja]

He was killed, it's as simple as that.

[drizzlinginside]

Oh my.... [Pause, a long one.] I'm so sorry...

[cursed_ninja]

Don't be.

[That's said a bit too harshly but he hates it when people apologize like that]

[drizzlinginside]

I understand why you'd be mad at this place.

[cursed_ninja]

It's not this place I'm mad at.

Don't claim to understand what you don't know.
