[Ace sees the woman, getting a vibe from that loud silence. He's just settled on the railing nearby in a crouch to go fishing. He chooses not to bother her. It's none of his business.]
[Right, you don't bother her and she won't bother you can they can share this bridge in peace and mutual quiet in order to keep the silence from becoming too loud.
...you do look a bit familiar, though. She'll be chancing some glances at you after a time.]
[He notices the glances and will catch her in one of them to smile faintly and wave. Ah, but then from under the icy water a fish is caught. He reels it in and tries to unhook it, but the thing is being extra wriggly. So, he fries it with a brief plume of fire from his hand to cook it then and there.]
1) Oh hey, a wave, maybe I should-- 1) OK, that is fire 1.5) Fire bad 1) Oh that poor fish, that is a lousy way to go 1) ...there is just no way that is going to taste good. At all.
And so with these thoughts running simultaneously through her head, Katara wrinkles her nose]
You could have just dropped it on the bridge and clubbed it - that's probably spoiled the meat.
Ace? [OK, she knows that name. And... tilting her head a little (especially with the fish in his mouth a moment ago) she can see the resemblance.] Luffy's brother?
[She'll totally realize you asked her a question in a minute.]
Oh, is that so? [An apologetic smile.] Well, it is nice to meet you again. I don't remember anything about the other times I was here so I'm afraid I won't recognize your usual self.
That's a long time. [A sympathetic smile. Then he casts his fishing line into the water again. After a moment, he decides to direct the conversation somewhere else.]
If I catch another would you mind showing me some of your own cooking techniques?

That's true. It tastes fine to me, though. [A pause and a wider grin.] My name's Ace, what's yours?

[There's that pang again. Poor Luffy.]
That happens sometimes. It's nice to meet you again.
