[Grief is a part of life, and when it's something as serious as friends going away, never seeing them again, being left - Katara has learned that it's best to stitch it in to her days, to continue to live her life as she normally would but to take moments. Moments where she'll close her eyes in pain, moments where she'll pause to remember, moments ( Read more... )

dressed like a princess, only an artist when it's with bending, *sokka, might need something stronger than soda, her friends are.. pirates and ninjas, bending is therapy, *rydia, swear not, everybody's got to breathe sometime, *riku, *san, joie de vivre, she loves this weather, *richard, happy birthday but not really, *chouji, run into her anywhere, *nephry, at the strawhat house, *smellerbee, *soul, water adapts, *brook, last waterbender of her tribe, out and about, *sanji, action action action, *sheik, why does sadness = tl;dr, finding peace where i can, *shikamaru, i know i shouldn't miss you

[Rydia is on her way home after a long day at the Welcome Center, when she passes through the main square. She's humming softly to herself, reaching out to touch the snowflakes that drift down towards her. Though she doesn't care that much for winter and its chill, right now it's...almost peaceful.

Upon turning her head, she catches sight of a familiar figure ahead. She's about to wave and say hello, but soon finds herself mesmerized by the sculpture. Not wanting to interrupt, she'll simply watch the process.]

[This is something very different than Katara's ever done before, and since she's not working with ice - which would make this easy - but snow itself, right now Rydia can see her working on growing one of the loops from the furthest base. It needs to be firm enough to not fall and it's slow going - almost like watching a flower bloom.]

[Her eyes widen as she observes the snow taking shape, thanks to Katara's molding. It's definitely worth lingering in the cold, and puts her in mind of Shiva and her creations.]

...beautiful....

[Katara looks up and when she sees who it is she stops what she's doing and rushes over to hug the other girl.]

Rydia! Welcome back.

[A knock on the door tends to echo easier in a house that's half empty. There's really too much quiet in this house - he's going to have to do something to fix that.

But since they appear to have company, he imagines answering the door would be most prudent. One skeletal doorman coming right up!]

markofthebrave January 7 2011, 22:21:06 UTC

[And on the other side of the door there is one (1) waterbender with her hands partially full.]

Hey, Brook.

skulljokelol January 7 2011, 22:23:20 UTC

Ah, greetings, Katara-san! Do come in; do come in. [He opens the door a little wider, making a sweeping gesture with one arm.]

markofthebrave January 7 2011, 22:32:09 UTC

[Entering, then - and it hurts more than she thought, because she wants to ask -

Who's here?

- and the answer to that is terrible.]

I just thought I'd come by and say hello.

[Shifting her bag in her hands.]

[ if katara does drop into the bar, there will be someone behind the counter willing to construct her a most magnificent (non alcoholic) concoction. but, equally, if she does not stop in? well, perhaps buffy will see her when she leaves for the evening. ]

[action] markofthebrave January 8 2011, 00:22:51 UTC

[Snow sculpture completed, Katara's a bit hesistant to just return home - so in to the bar she goes.

And closes her eyes for a moment. The only times she'd ever really been in here were with Nami. Opening her eyes, the moment passes and Katara makes her way over to the bar.]

Hey, Buffy.

[action] slaying January 8 2011, 00:36:55 UTC

[ she is mopping up a corner of the bar when she sees katara. ]

Oh, hey! What's up?

[action] markofthebrave January 8 2011, 01:51:31 UTC

[Her cheeks are a little flushed from the cold, and she hasn't changed back to her regular clothes yet, but that won't be immediately apparent due to her parka. What might be is that her hair is subtly different today, and adorned with two blue stones.

...and her heart is heavy.]

Not much. Could I get a hot chocolate, please?

[Katara's just passing her hands over the bottom to create some of the detail work. When she becomes aware of someone staring at her, she glances up.

She doesn't really recognize Sheik, having only seen him in journals until now and - it is New Feather season, apparently.]

Oh, hello.

[A wave, huh? Well, Katara just smiles back, seeing as how that's friendly even if... the fact that she can only see one of this person's eyes and none of his face is a little disconcerting.]

Out enjoying the snow?

[she'll show up when Katara is almost finished, much later on in the day when it's definitely all cold and snowy again.]

Good evening, Katara. You're quite the snow artist.

markofthebrave January 8 2011, 01:24:46 UTC

[Katara glances up from some of the detail work, brushing the snow out of her hair. It's good to see Nephry - returned from the draft and seemingly well.]

Thank you, Nephry. It is pretty, isn't it.

offallingsnow January 8 2011, 04:33:19 UTC

Very. Is this a hobby at the south pole?

markofthebrave January 8 2011, 05:33:06 UTC

[A pained shadow crosses her face for a moment.]

Not like this - not for a long time. But it might be something we start up again when we get home.
