Although she had several things to do (eventually finding this Hanukkah party being one of them) Katara came across one of her old friends from the jail cell: she could recognize him by the eye patch. She gave a grin when she realized exactly why he was staying there, and saying funny things too: it looked as if GLADOS had just caught up with him and he wasn't liking it.

"Hey Xander!" Katara said, giving him a wave. "Whatcha doin?"

Xander gave her a sheepish grin and wave, "Hey Katara, uh, crazy maze computer lady thought to play a lil' joke on me. Kind of stuck."

Katara giggled. "Trust me, I know all about it. I've had to kiss a guy and a girl to get out of those stupid mistletoe plants. It looks like you might be here longer than you have to unless someone helps you out. Want me to lend you a hand?"

Xander gave her puppy eyes, or rather eye, so it's not quite as effective or maybe doubly so due to the extra pathetic aspect of the eyepatch.

"Would you? I'd get you whatever you like if you do."
