[Katara turns at the sound of that oh-so-familiar voice, her hands clasped loosely in front of her. It's her. Her life-long best friend and rival for the title of best cupcake maker, Whateverhernameis.
Katara tosses her hair haughtily, her eyes cooling to a light celadon.]
Of course I am. [And then she smiles a little.] But thank you for asking.
...there is not enough "wat" in the world for this moment.
Okee dokee. Maybe if we play along with the strange girl with the sparkling and the weird eyes, she won't hurt us! Yeah, Lina, that's a great plan! Lina claps her hands together, pasting her most charming smile on her face.]
O-Oh, right! Of...course I didn't forget. Ahahaha, of course your eyes have always changed color! I was just teasing, you know that, right?
Oh, you were? [The eyes go through several rapid changes before ending up a strange mixture of lovat. And then she laughs, as if she is just coming in on the joke.]
[Katara's chartruse eyes fill up with tears at that-]
Lina! My dear friend! How could the Malnosso have taken my memory of your name away! Isn't it bad enough that they've gotten rid of all my powers, now they have to go after my friendships too?
[And Katara will break down int graceful sobs here. Yes. Graceful. Sobs.]
[...hesitantly patting Katara on the shoulder, as though afraid the girl might bite. Which, in fact, she is. God, why can't Lina ever look that graceful when she cries?]
Th-There...there...i-it'll be okay...I'm sure you'll get your powers back soon...
...who is that girl and why is she sparkling?
Lina is so stunned by this sight that a glob of half frozen mashed potatoes lands on her pants with a soft "plop."]
H-Hey...are you okay?

What are you talking about?
[Had her lifelong best-friend-and-rival forgotten her CURSE as she had forgotten her lifelong-best-friend-and-rival's name?]

...trick of the light? Maybe?]
Did the Malnosso do something to your eyes? And, um...skin? [Sparkling, why are you still sparkling?]

I can't believe you've forgotten!

Good one. You got me that time!

Just. Keep. Smiling. Lina pats Katara companionably on the back.]
You know me! Always kidding around! I just figured that it would, y'know, lighten the mood!
I'm glad you caught on, otherwise I would have had to start pretending that I didn't remember your name and that would have just been ridiculous!

No, that would just be silly. [...] What is your name, anyway?

Ahahaha! You stole my joke, you...jokester! Y-You know me, right? Lina! Lina Inverse!
