[It's nighttime in Luceti and Roku's sitting atop the roof of House 56. Why was he up there? Probably bored and was watching the stars or maybe just checking the damage done by Zuko's attempt to firebend. Possibility of leaks are not fun...and no, he's not holding off on that talk he was suppose to have with Zuko, not at all

[Well Zuko has his back to you Roku, but that sound of air and fire is a familiar one. Zuko will turn around and start as the house starts to burn. His instinct is to try and bend that fire, but just looking at it he can tell it is too strong, even if he wasn't warn out from that fight with Katara. Thankfully everyone was out tonight so he could just let the house burn. He instead turns to Roku and starts yelling at him.]

And how do you think going all avatar state HERE is going to change things?

[flamedork]

[That's not going help at all. Roku probably doesn't even realize he had gone into the Avatar State. The only thing on his mind is what Zuko had said about what terrible things Sozin did, and about how he killed him. It made him fill with a rage he never felt, and his emotions was feeding his avatar state. Don't worry, Katara is going to show up soon enough.]

[It's the smell that starts her running first - the smell of smoke and ashes. By the time she gets back to her house, she sees fire everywhere -- and Roku, Roku in the middle of it, burning himself, burning their house-- and he isn't Aang, she doesn't know him like that, she doesn't really know him at all and he's burning]

Roku! Stop that! You need to calm down. You're burning down my house!

[And she shoots off the water in her waterskin at the flames.]

You need to stop! Everything will be okay. In the end, it all gets made right!

[She has no idea what was said -- but she can guess.]

[flamedork]

[Oi, he felt that water. Who dares douse the flames!? The flaming whirlwind lessens, but only slight as he turns his attention to the newcomer. He's still in the Avatar State but it looks like he can hear her. What the hell do you mean everything will be okay!?]

[markofthebrave]

[OK, lessening is good. And those flames are still there - and her house is still burning. So Katara has no choice but to bend the water from the surround grass and send it at the flames.] Listen to me. You marry Ta Min. You have a long and happy life together. And one of the last things you do in this world is save her life.

Would you want her to see you like this? Out of control and destroying things? You need to calm down.

[flamedork]

...[And that...that he heard. The whirlwind completely dissipates now, leaving Roku disorientated. He's out of the Avatar state now, but that only causes Roku confusion. No he totally doesn't notice house on fire.]

What...?

[markofthewise]

[Well, Sokka is on his way back from his delightful talk with Azula. Only to find his house on fire. Again.]

What is it with you firebenders!? [And while he may not know any water magic, he does know Kipinn. So he tries something a little new and rather than gusts of air, he just uses it to suffocate the fire until its gone.]

[restoremyhonour]

[With the arrival of Katara trying to calm down Roku, Zuko lets her do the talking and has tried to do something about controlling the flaming house. Sokkas efforts do much more to stop the fire though, so he turns back to watch the discussion between Katara and Roku. For now he's not adding to the discussion.]

[markofthebrave]

[And so, Katara, who is slightly shakey and a bit more emotional than she should be - her home, destroyed by firebenders again - walks up and takes Roku by the shoulders. She is concerned and angry.]

Are you all right?

[flamedork]

[He presses a hand against his head]

I...I think so. What just happened-... [...oh crap, what happen to the house!? A-And that look on Katara's face. He can put two and two together but HOW!?]

...

[markofthewise]

[Oh, Sokka is no dummy and he has a good guess what happened. So he hobbles over to Zuko and grabs his sleeve to turn him around.]

What did you do!?

[restoremyhonour]

Answered his questions. [Zuko is still annoyed about Roku's deniyal of everything, so your getting yelled at Sokka.]

[markofthewise]

And caused him to blow up the house! [Is Sokka yelling? Oh yes. This is the second time a firebender has tried to burn his house down. This one more than last.] What did you tell him.

[restoremyhonour]

That I left the Fire Nation to teach Aang firebending. That Sozin started the war by wiping out the Air Nomads. That he can check with anyone here about whether Sozin did that. And all he can say is Sozin would never do that. This is why he died, because he couldn't cope with Sozin being ruthless. [Ah, a yelling match between Sokka and Zuko. It's about time he had one with Sokka, normally they seem reserved for Katara.]

[markofthewise]

And let me guess. You told him about the bit where Sozin killed him, right? You idiot!

[restoremyhonour]

Well what was I meant to say? He was refusing to listen when I told him Sozin started the war.
