Locked from Jet:

I need a healer. My friend Jet from home is -- well, he's not really sick, but something has been done with his mind. We were able to snap him out of it at home with the help of his friends and my healing abilities, but we don't have either of those here

I would be delighted to accept your offer, and I'm glad to hear you are better.

[A pause.] What happened to your friend Jet?

[He has some experience with undoing mind control magic but he doubts it's remotely the same as what he has worked with.]

[Video//Filtered] /spams you with nonstop Katara threads

[kyasdaughter]

Here -- I'll send you the coordinates, and I'll explain when you get here.

[She affords him a half-smile.]

It'll give us something to talk about.

[Video//Filtered] Oh no~ Anything but CR with you. /swoons

[daath_vader]

Alright. Thank you.

[He doesn't really think this is the best conversation topic Katara. YOUR LIFE SEEMS TO SUCK.]

I suppose it will. [Will not pry until he's there in person!]

[Video//Filtered] i just realized katara still thinks he's a girl LMFAO

[kyasdaughter]

[Only most of the time. :| ADSTRING HAS THAT EFFECT..]

I'll have the tea warming.

[She smiles briefly at him, ends the feed, and sends him her coordinates immediately after.]

[Offline] This is clearly the best thing

[Average day in a survival horror game?]

[Ion takes his staff, never leave home without your dorky tuning fork on a stick, and sets out for the destined location! Or at least Katara's coordinates. He is vaguely worried that the girl does not seem to catch a break, but perhaps they can talk over tea.]

[If he can even be an ear to listen, it will be something.]

[By the time he arrives he's a little tired, but not winded. He knocks, calling out just to announce himself in case anyone else is home.]

Hello. It's Ion.

[Katara's voice comes wafting through the door, though it's clearly aimed at the rest of the house:]

It's for me!

[And a few moments later, she's unlatching the lock to the door, pulling it open and standing with a sleepy looking tabby cat cradled in the crook of her arm.]

Ion. It must have been quite a walk -- [She steps to the side and back.] Come on in.

[gfkjghk Fuzzy kitty. Ion is not Tear though, so he does not succumb to the cute. He just smiles.]

Not at all. Thank you.

[He steps in, wiping his shoes before he enters Katara's house with a slight dip of his head in the doorway. Politeness.]

I am glad you invited me.

[kyasdaughter]

[It's certainly a level of politeness that she isn't really used to, so she smiles at him in return and shut the door as he steps inside.]

I'm glad you decided you still wanted to come over. I was kind of a mess when we met.

[Offline]

[daath_vader]

Of course. Because of that it's even more important that I meet you.

[Offline]

[kyasdaughter]

[She isn't sure if she's rankled or reassured by his comment. She motions vaguely at him to take a seat, words neutral.]

I'm not a charity case, Ion.

[daath_vader]

[He takes the seat with a smile.]

I did not think you were.

[Offline]

[kyasdaughter]

You wanted to meet me because I was at my wits' end?

[Offline]

[daath_vader]

[He tilts his head. How to phrase it to make her understand it's not pity, but just something he feels is right to do?]

Not exactly. But I think at times like that is when it's most important to stay in contact with others.

[kyasdaughter]

[She sighs and slides a saucer and a cup of tea onto the table in front of him, taking a seat across the table from his own.]

But that's dangerous here. You barely know me - the fact that you just came into my house.. I could have been a monster, you know. Preying on your pity.

[Katara wants to warn people, to warn the gentle and empathetic ones like Aang against the dangers here. It's not her fault that she's really bad at it.]

[Offline]

[daath_vader]

Thank you.

[He picks up the saucer and tea, taking a sip as she speaks. He smiles a little, though not too much because her concerns are valid and he takes her seriously.]

It is not pity I think. And you don't seem like a monster to me, nor did you then, even in your anger.

[Offline]

[kyasdaughter]

It made me feel like one.

[Except it's not past tense- not really. She can still feel anger, cold and heavy in her stomach.]

Tell me a little about your world.
