Fourth Flame [Action/Voice]

Feb 21, 2010 18:42

[After a conversation with Sokka not long after they moved house, Zuko has decided it's finally time to decorate the house. He's been slowly purchasing everything thing he needs since the move, and today he is finally ready to start work on the decorations to his half of the house. There is a line drawn down the middle of the living area of the ( Read more... )

What are you doing?

[Voice] restoremyhonour February 21 2010, 07:50:05 UTC

Decorating my half of the house.

[Voice] markofthebrave February 21 2010, 08:10:16 UTC

What? Who said you could decorate half of the house?

[Voice] restoremyhonour February 21 2010, 08:20:27 UTC

Sokka did. The other half is his. He was talking about swampgreen.

[Voice] markofthebrave February 21 2010, 08:39:08 UTC

Don't do anything. I'm coming.

[When Katara arrives Zuko's half the living room will be painted, and Zuko will be starting on the spare bedroom.]

markofthebrave February 21 2010, 20:41:46 UTC

[Well that's... red. And very Fire Nationy. And it stops precisely in the middle of the living room. And she stops and looks at it for a second. This wouldn't be one of her preferred colors for decorating, but if it's making Zuko feel more at home wait - what? then maybe that's just something she can deal with.]

Zuko? [Here we go a-wandering -- and she stops short when she sees him painting.] Oh. There you are. Why didn't you wait for me?

restoremyhonour February 21 2010, 22:37:44 UTC

[Ah, Katara's finally home. For some reason that makes him happy. WTF. He looks up at the sound of her voice to see her standing in the doorway.]

Sorry. I didn't realise you wanted me to wait. [Feel that awkward.]

markofthebrave February 22 2010, 04:12:54 UTC

[Oh the awkward. Why is she suddenly caring what he thinks and wanting to make him feel better? He'd been so nice to her about explaining to her what she didn't remember, even after she'd been horrible to him...]

I told you not to do anything, didn't I? [Wry smile. She takes a hesitant step into the bedroom.] What brought this on?

restoremyhonour February 22 2010, 08:48:30 UTC

[He's so glad that their fight the other day has been resolved. He hates it so much when she is angry at him.]

I'd already started then. [Zuko will look suitably sorry for not having listen to the beautiful Katara.]

A talk with Sokka a while ago. I've been finding furniture slowly since then. [He can rant to Katara about this, right? She'll listen and be as understanding as always.] No one else lives down this end of the house anyway. And it's better then Sokka's suggestions. Did you see that purple wall in the last house? And the mess? This way it will stay clean.

markofthebrave February 22 2010, 14:45:34 UTC

I did see it. Those walls were horrible. [Not that she really feels more comfortable with Fire Nation Red, but it is kinda nice in that it reminds her of Zuko.] And it's amazing that they didn't just move anyway, I don't know how they lived in that mess. I pity anyone who came after them in that house.

[She moves a little closer, eyes attempting to search into his noble and tormented soul.] But is that really why you decided to paint everything this color? Are you homesick, Zuko? Do you need to talk about it?

restoremyhonour February 23 2010, 00:04:46 UTC

Apparently it was clean when I moved in. I cleaned it a lot before you got there [Ah, cleaning the house for his love, so she wouldn't have to live in the true horror of Sokka and Toph's style when she arrived.]

I'm not homesick. You're here aren't you? [And apparently that's true. Why would he be homesick? His love is here with him, what more does he need?] I just didn't want to live with Sokka's decorating skills

markofthebrave February 23 2010, 01:06:21 UTC

[Bluuush. Had he just... really? She'd never thought he'd return her feelings, the feelings she'd tried so hard to ignore. But it had always come back to Zuko, again and again.]

Oh... really? [Maybe he didn't mean to say it. Why would he? Go on and ask, Katara. Where's that courage of yours?] Well, I can't blame you for not wanting to suffer through more purple walls...

...but I can blame you for not waiting for me. [And she bends some of the paint right out of the bucket and onto the wall. Just like perfume bending.]

restoremyhonour February 23 2010, 03:16:22 UTC

[Or soup bending. See Sokka, Zuko was right, Katara won't paint bend it off the walls after all the effort he's put into it ( ... )

markofthebrave February 23 2010, 03:39:59 UTC

Oh. [She can't meet his eyes for some reason. It feels weird, not having any excuse to hate him. Now there's nothing to stop her long-buried feelings from surfacing. She's jittery... nervous... it was so much easier when they were fighting!]

Well, I didn't know you were going to paint. [She bends some more onto the wall in a perfect even stroke.] If I had, I'd have made sure I'd be here. This cuts down the time... I don't mind helping!

restoremyhonour February 23 2010, 04:06:03 UTC

I didn't tell anyone. Sokka might have sabotaged the idea or something like that.

[Should he tell her the rest. That he did it so she's have something nice to look at. That he got all this comfortable furniture as well? It was so hard being guarded around her like normal at the moment. He needed to pull himself together, start a fight with her, anything to help hold these feelings at bay again... and that paint lands on the wall, making him sneak another glance at her out the corner of his eye. She was beautiful, standing there helping him paint. What was he thinking about again? Katara. That's right.] Ah. Thanks. [That blush of his is going to start matching the red paint soon.]
