[Girl has pretty warm internal temperature, but she wears tiny stuff. Hugs? Don't worry, you don't have to drink the mustard.]

[kaya_waterwave]

Katara was perfectly fine in this weather, but had never seen anyone be around this kind of weather with that lack of clothing.

"Starfire? Are you ok running around like this? It's awful cold."

[joyous_justice]

[Shakily nods]

I have flown in thin atmospheres. It is...unpleasant, but survivable.

[kaya_waterwave]

Without even thinking about it any longer, she threw a long, fluffy blanket over Starfire. "You're shaking! Here, come along, you'll get warmer, ok?"

She brought her toward shelter and was already starting on getting more blankets.

[joyous_justice]

[Wraps herself up and floats behind, like a floating burrito in the sky. Mmm, delicious.]

Thank you. How do you know this area so well?

[kaya_waterwave]

"The area is a lot like where I'm from," she explained, chuckling a little at the floating burrito. Starfire had this tendency to be very adorable.

"Are you feeling better?"

[boundlesslight]

"I am," Starfire answered, curling up inside the shelter. It would take a few minutes to reach her normal warmth, but she felt much better.

"Thank you for your generosity. It means much."

[kaya_waterwave]

She smiled, and as a gesture of good faith, handed her a steaming mug of hot cocoa. "It should help to warm you up a little faster."

She gave an involuntary shiver. "Um, actually, I think I'll curl up next to you a little. I'm starting to feel a little cold myself."

[joyous_justice]

"I thank you." Starfire sipped once, set the mug aside, then nodded and opened the blanket and her arms.

"Here. I cannot allow my rescuer to freeze."

[kaya_waterwave]

She grinned and took a mug herself, taking a long sip of the drink. With that she bundled up next to Starfire, glad for the body heat, and giggled.

"Almost like a slumber party in my world," she laughed.

[joyous_justice]

Oh, slumber parties! "I have never attended a slumber party, but I know of them. Attendees play with each others' hair, use the make-up, and tell stories, correct? I wished to try it, but my only female friend was...disinterested."

That was definitely understating Raven's averse reaction, but Starfire didn't mind. She was content to snuggle up right her.

[kaya_waterwave]

"Disinterested?" Katara actually looked offended at the idea. "How?! I mean, its one of the best times to bind, share stories, talk about boys...and yeah, I'll totally do your hair if you do mine!"

She grinned and hugged Starfire impulsively. She was really going to have to talk to Nura when she had the chance, now that she thought about it. She hoped she was still doing well.

"So who is this other female friend of yours?"

[joyous_justice]

"My friend is not fond of emotional occurrences. She prefers to remain alone."

Starfire smiled, hugging the other girl. It felt good to know someone who would participate in her whimsies. "Her name is Raven, and she is my teammate. Using her powers responsibly requires that she keep her emotions tightly controlled, so she often withdraws from us and meditates. The party was not her 'thing', but I would do your hair!"

[kaya_waterwave]

Katara shook her head. "I had someone that was from my world who was like that. I really wished I'd been able to reach her, befriend her more, but she was who she was. Besides, they'll come to care about us, in their own way, I think."

She nodded. "There was a friend named Toph who wasn't quite like that, but she and I couldn't have been more different, you know? She was tough, loud and brash, and I was a little more quite, more responsible than I needed, and a bit nagging. But eventually we were able to be good friends!"

She grinned. "I'd love to do yours too! Its so long and red! It's beautiful!"

[joyous_justice]

Starfire couldn't help but agree. "I know that we all care, despite our differences."

She giggled, reaching up to play with one of her hair strands. "How do you arrange yours?"

[kaya_waterwave]

"Our differences are what makes us great!" She said. "It's one of the best things about the ship, I think!"

She was happy at the mention of her hair, although she burrowed closer to the taller Tameranian. "I usually do them in hair loopies, like these, see? It's a style of the waterbenders."
