[Today was just an average day for the Avatar house... or was it? No, it wasn't just because Winry and her housemates were still there. No, something far more ominous was going on.

Her stomach grumbles. Maybe not. Katara makes her way out of her room towards the bathroom. When she's gotten herself sort of decent, but not entirely awake, she comes out and sees the back of Sokka's head. His hair's still down. Weird, but then again she had taken over the bathroom.]

She takes out the leftover fish and starts to prepare a small breakfast roll with the leftover rice and greens. She should probably use it all up. Ed and Al and Winry and Toph, man, they're going to need food.]

She speaks very slowly, as if she was talking to someone who was very slow.] Yes, I know. That's why it's weird.
[Adrenaline is kicking in now, along with memories. Her conversation with Allen... Katara's eyes go very wide for a moment, and when she speaks it's an effort to sound calm past the heart that suddenly got stuck in her throat.]
Sokka. What do you remember about the person who gave me this?
[And her hand goes up to her arm bracelet - the one he helped put together for her while they were waiting for the draft.]
