Katara inna snow

Maeve watches the girl juggling for a moment, her arms crossed lightly across her chest. Despite the weather, she is clad only in a cut off tank top and a short skirt.

And then she extends one hand, and very gently sends a pulse of power towards the ball in the air at the moment, causing the snow to explode outwards.

[allican_do]

Way to send the girl idly (bored, really) juggling into a blind panic, crying out and scrambling away from the explosion, climbing to her feet to look around wildly and--

Hey. She doesn't know that person. And if she's warm enough to wear that clothing in this weather, and if she's so calmly standing there after what happened, then Katara has come to one conclusion.

"What did you do that for?!" she demands, hands on her hips and scowling.

[winterladym]

Maeve, her hand stills extended, closes her palm into a fist. And the snow that went out, soars back in, a complete, compact sphere.

"Because, sometimes, you must exercise control."

[allican_do]

Not exactly expecting that, Katara still manages not to jump the second time around - even if her hands stay on her hips and her eyes are wide.

Her temper, however, is not always so well managed.

Caught between extreme irritation and sudden interest, Katara looks at the woman for a long moment before replying: "Are you a Waterbender, too?"

If she isn't, she can yell. If she is, then there may be better things to do with her than screech.

[winterladym]

The topic is avoided.

"Winter is within my domain, as are those who fool with it."

[allican_do]

Fool?

Fool?

"I wasn't fooling with it," Katara replies, back to griping irritation. "I'm a Waterbender - it's what I do."

It's her spirits' given gift and just try and take it from her!

[winterladym]

"Hmm."

One eyebrow raises, as she studies the girl before her.

"Your gift?"

[allican_do]

Katara just continues with a massive frowny-face, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes. It's my gift."

[winterladym]

"And who gifted you with it?"

Because a gift implies being given.

[allican_do]

"The spirits."

This is a totally valid answer.

[winterladym]

"Which ones?"

she's met so many.

[allican_do]

"...All of them."

Duh.

[winterladym]

An arched brow.

"Ah, but are we talking animal spirits, ancestral spirits, angels of the lord..."

[allican_do]

"What are angels?"

Does that, at least partly, answer her question?

[winterladym]

"Pre-christian society?"

A slight smile.

"Excellent."

[allican_do]

And that is a perfect way to convince Katara this this lady is absolutely bad news.

Brows drawn together, wary and defensive, she takes a step back and glances off toward the bar. "Why? What's Prechristian?"
