Would you join me for a walk?

[Text] kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 05:44:24 UTC

i'll need a few minutes

[Text] daath_vader September 6 2011, 05:46:34 UTC

Take your time. I was thinking the river, unless you have somewhere you would like to go.

[Text] kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 05:47:20 UTC

i will meet you there. 20 minutes.

[Text] daath_vader September 6 2011, 05:48:16 UTC

I will see you then, Miss Katara.

[And twenty minutes later, Katara will be standing there, eyes still slightly puffy.]

[Ion is sitting by the river, his staff across his knees, looking out at the water. When Katara arrives, however, he stands, as is polite, and offers her a gentle smile.]

Thank you for joining me.

kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 05:58:02 UTC

It's okay, Ion. You really don't have to treat me with kid gloves.

[She smiles a little politely though, waiting for him to stand.]

daath_vader September 6 2011, 06:05:00 UTC

[He steps over to join her, looking at her with a slight tilt of his head.]

I don't think I am.

kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 14:00:37 UTC

I'm happy she's gone, honestly.

[She leans down, picking up a flat stone and flinging it into the river.]

It's safer at home. It's just like with Aang: I don't have to worry about them anymore. Does that make sense? Home is so much better here.

daath_vader September 6 2011, 14:04:47 UTC

[He stands next to her, watching the rock skip on the water.]

You don't seem happy.

kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 14:17:23 UTC

I'm happy she's home. That doesn't mean I won't miss her.

[She sighs, flicking the water in irritation. It ripples hard.]

I want to be the last one here. I want everyone to go home first, honestly. I know I can deal with things here.

daath_vader September 6 2011, 14:18:46 UTC

Do you hate it here?

kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 14:19:36 UTC

Yeah. Is that so bad?

daath_vader September 6 2011, 14:22:49 UTC

I don't think so. You have somewhere important to return to, things you want to do when you get back.

[He watches the water ripple.]

kyasdaughter September 6 2011, 14:24:27 UTC

It's not even that.

[She jerks her wrist, and the water swirls uneasily.]

It's watching the people I care about get hurt over and over and over again, and no one seems to really think much of it. I can't stop it.
