Hey. Hey.

[And the loud, sharp sounds of knuckles rapping against a door.]

Hey! Heyyy. Open up.

[Knock knock knock.

Knock.

Knock knock.]

Open - up.

[This continues for a good three minutes, before --]

Oh. [And her voice gets a little louder as she picks up the journal, words a little laborious.] Um - sorry about that. Trying to deal ( Read more... )

( Zuko )

Does anyone in the castle offer anger management courses?

One of the fairies made me kiss Zuko and he's being a big baby about it. Or maybe he's just never kissed a girl before?

[Sorry, Zuko.

You're a jerk to her, she publicly humiliates you.

This is the way the world works.]

There's sledding! On the grounds. Come onnn, this is the best part of the year!

[And, true enough, anyone who ventures out will find her sledding - and maybe cheating a little with her waterbending as she does.]

Hey. Is anyone on the second floor listening right now? If so, talk to me here.

[A long pause.]

And also, on a possibly related note: if you want to swap rooms, do you just.. do it? The castle doesn't get mad or anything, does it?

[And Katara's voice is remarkably distressed.]
