[So there were tears, and there was rage, and now there is a very shaky determination, because the only way Katara knows out of pain is through it. She painstakingly crafts a filter. She doesn't trust her voice, so she writes:]

[Filtered to Sanji, 80 percent.]

Sanji, we need to talk.

well this will be fun, *sokka, *sanji

[well... she beat him to it.

He'll increase the filter for her before writing back]

Would you prefer over the journals, or in person?

[Filtered 100%] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:08:52 UTC

In person. Please.

[Filtered 100%] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 02:10:52 UTC

Of course.

Where do you want to meet?

[Filtered 100%] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:13:36 UTC

[His civility is like salt on a wound.]

I don't care.

[Filtered 100%] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 02:14:55 UTC

The barracks are as good a place as any.

I'll be there in ten minutes?

[Filtered 100%] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:19:44 UTC

Fine.

[When he gets there, she'll be waiting, leaning against the wall. She'll have washed her face, but some traces the upset will remain if he looks for them.]

[The moment he's close enough to see her, he leans against a wall himself, expression somber.

He'll cut right to the chase]

About Azula?

[Action] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:29:26 UTC

[She straightens up at that, startled.]

Yes. How did you know?

[Action] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 02:30:40 UTC

I heard you briefly on the journals. [y'know, before you slammed it shut]

[Action] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:33:03 UTC

I didn't say anything!

[Action] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 02:35:41 UTC

Maaah, but you did make a noise - I recognized it as you.

[pauses]

I planned on talking to you tomorrow, but looks like you beat me to it.

[Action] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:40:51 UTC

And why is that? [He won't have heard her speak like this before - hard and sharp like glass.]

[Action] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 02:42:56 UTC

Considering you slammed the journal, I figured you might be upset and wanted to check. [And this will be the first time she's heard him speak to her in such a manner - calm and unfazed by her temper]

[Action] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 02:47:40 UTC

Well, you're right. I am upset. [And the tears start to come back.] I'm upset, and I'm angry, and I'm hurt.

Why would you do that, Sanji? Don't you know who she is? What she's done to us? Why?

[Action] oda_hates_me May 25 2010, 03:01:45 UTC

[his gaze softens up, but his tone otherwise remains low and steady]

Because I'm a chef, Katara-chan. And I offered to help her become self-sufficient in the kitchen.

You and Sokka have already told me about the war, and what she's done. But I don't let my job and my personal feelings mix.

[Action] markofthebrave May 25 2010, 03:06:08 UTC

You're telling me that you offered to help Azula because it was your job. In a town where there are restaurants, and food you don't even have to hunt to kill, things that you can just rip open and put into one of those microwaves - that's what you're saying?
