[This is Katara.

This is Katara, disconsolate, hurling shards of ice into the trunk of a tree. They stick out of the bark like daggers.

Thwack.

Thwack.]

Zuko's gone again.

[Thwack.]

Just for anyone else who knew him.

[He waits awhile after this is broadcasted, hopefully giving her time to... take it in.]

How many times has he come and gone?

[Tact.]

I don't know.

[Her voice is a little terse, constricted.]

At least twice, since I've been here.

I... see.

[Now that he got the information he wasn't sure what else to say to her...This could have used more thought.]

Well, at least he gets small reprieves from this place.

You know that people don't remember, right? When they leave and come back.

I've heard of some cases where memories come back. [He shrugs.]

Is he from your world?

He is, but - we weren't always friends back home.

Is it difficult having to befriend him each time he comes?

Reply

[voice] kyasdaughter November 11 2011, 07:45:38 UTC
.. yeah. I guess I can just hope - if he comes back, he'll remember being my friend again. But if he doesn't.. [A slight shrug, until she remembers this is just voice.] I'll deal.

[Good. Because for a second there he thought you didn't consider it worth it.]

You'll be alright. Enjoy the time you're given.

I know. I mean - I know that's what I have to do. It's just hard, sometimes.

Well, at least you can take comfort knowing he can come back. I imagine you'll have a lot to tell him when he returns.

I think I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope really hard that we all get to go home from here.

That would be ideal, yes.

How long have you been here?

Reply

[voice] kyasdaughter November 12 2011, 15:15:34 UTC
About fourteen months now.

[Well then.]

At least you're pretty well adjusted then...

But the same applies here as it does with your friend. Enjoy your time you have here, with the people you won't see back in your world. After all... would be a bit of a waste, right?

[This is spoken slowly, as if the knowledge was dawning on him as well.]

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that nothing matters here. But - we still get hurt. We still love and hate just as strongly as we do at home. So I guess we should treasure the time as much as we can.
