[When the feed clicks on, Jet looks more than tired.  He's exhausted and drained, physically and emotionally.  He's also given up trying to hide it.  He scratches at his eye with the heel of his hand and looks up to the PCD, pausing as though unsure what it was he wanted to say.   He turned it on for something, right?  Or had it turned itself on

[fn_rebel]

[You're making it hard to stay mad.]

I can hear the sympathy in your voice.

[And stubbornly, she switches it back to text.]

i really am sorry

voice

[fn_rebel]

[She thinks she can out-stubborn Jet?]

I told you I believe you. Your tone is just so apologetic.

[kyasdaughter]

[It is, actually. She's crying.]

Okay. Just be careful.

[fn_rebel]

[...okay he's not walking anymore.]

Where are you?

voice

[kyasdaughter]

Don't -- I have issues, okay? It's fine.

[fn_rebel]

[...sigh.]

Is that Katara for "I'm at the house"?

voice

[kyasdaughter]

[An irritated little noise, and she hangs up.]

voice

[fn_rebel]

[So like, Jet got far, right? A whole ten minutes later he's banging on her door.]

Open up before I let myself in.

[kyasdaughter]

[She yanks the door open, growling softly when she does. She's.. still crying.]

Leave me alone.

[fn_rebel]

...don't do that. You're stronger than that.

[He's trying to keep his brows furrowed, but his eyes have already gone soft. He shoves his way in.]

[kyasdaughter]

Now just isn't a good time.

[She crosses her arms against herself, stepping back as he comes in.]

[fn_rebel]

No? I'm sorry I woke up at such an inconvenient time for you, then.

[He takes in a sharp breath and exhales, scratching the back of his neck.]

I trust you more than anyone in this place, Katara.

[kyasdaughter]

I'm sorry about what I did. And I'm sorry that I betrayed that trust.

[She's scrubbing furtively at her eyes.]

But I was scared. The things you were saying - I was afraid it'd be like Sokka.

[fn_rebel]

[He purses his lips.]

...I don't remember what I said.
