[After a good cry, some good advice, and throwing down with the whole of Luceti against Aku the other day, Katara is feeling much more like herself. And she is on a mission. She can be found mid-afternoon heading towards whatever store in Luceti sells paint.

Fire Nation Red in her living room? Not anymore!]Let's see... I guess I could go blue ( Read more... )

Painting, huh?

[voice] mydearapple March 5 2010, 05:25:29 UTC

[That's good. He's always worried he'll accidentally make these things worse. :|;]

It's all right. You haven't been here very long, so it's understandable. I think I would have been mad about those things, too, if I wasn't so mad about other things.

[voice] markofthebrave March 5 2010, 05:29:32 UTC

What things are you mad about?

[voice] mydearapple March 5 2010, 05:38:02 UTC

I told you we were in the middle of a war before I showed up here, right? I was angry about a lot of things in relation to that. [Which is a really, really vague way of saying he hated his brother.] I'm not mad about that stuff anymore, though.

[voice] markofthebrave March 5 2010, 05:50:20 UTC

[Katara, not knowing anything about Caesar's relationship with his brother, will assume that he's angry for similar reasons that her war upsets her.] I know what that's like.

[A pause.] Did something happen that... helped? Or were you just able to let it go?

[voice] mydearapple March 5 2010, 06:00:03 UTC

[He's not as obvious about it as he used to be, that's for sure.]

Both. Something happened that made me realize holding onto my anger was a really stupid idea. It took a long time for me to understand, but I'm glad I get it now.

[voice] markofthebrave March 5 2010, 06:32:55 UTC

[Since talking at these books is something that's still really weird to her, Katara's suddenly uncomfortably aware that this conversation is very public - and since she's started thinking about her mom, and what apparently happened when she found her mother's murderer, that makes her a little uncomfortable.]

I'd like to hear about that sometime. If you don't mind.

[voice] mydearapple March 5 2010, 06:44:26 UTC

[Caesar doesn't take long to consider her request. Katara was a good person, and after their conversation last time, he wouldn't mind talking to her some more. Heck, maybe he'll even be a little more honest with her about what it was he was mad about in the first place.]

Sure. I don't see why not. I guess if you aren't too busy with this painting stuff, we could talk now.

[voice] markofthebrave March 5 2010, 06:50:54 UTC

Sure? Should I meet you somewhere? I'm just at the paint store now.

[And so for the sake of timeline sanity, we can say that this took place before she picked out her paint.]

Thanks, Caesar.

[voice] mydearapple March 5 2010, 07:05:19 UTC

Don't mention it. I can meet you by the fountain, then. Is that okay?

[voice -> Action] markofthebrave March 5 2010, 15:11:03 UTC

Sure, if you don't mind the weather!

[And so, Katara will start out towards the fountain in the wonderfully new and restored square where every trace of the the battle she'd fought the day before had been completely erased. If she gets there before Caesar, he'll see her looking around at the various spots where the action took place - the restored ground, the new grocery store - with a considering expression on her face.]

[Action] mydearapple March 6 2010, 01:44:29 UTC

[Caesar will certainly arrive there a short while after Katara does. (He'll never get a hang of this "being on time" thing, I swear.) When he sees her, he'll walk over and greet her.]

Yo. Haven't picked out your paints yet?

[Action] markofthebrave March 6 2010, 03:33:56 UTC

There are so many colors! You'd think eliminating four of them would make it easier, but it just leaves me with... ugly colors.

[Action] mydearapple March 6 2010, 04:55:30 UTC

Heh. That's what happens when you have too many options, I guess. I'm not very good with this stuff myself, though.

[Action] markofthebrave March 6 2010, 05:17:42 UTC

I never had a chance to do it before. [She shrugs] I heard [Have a pained look that may or may not be solely related to the topic at hand] that they were planning on splitting the living room down the middle. Fire Nation Red on one side and Swampbender Green on the other. I'm sure I'll figure out something better than that.

[She's going to reach out one hand and poke at the grocery store, fully restored after being decimated the day before.] This place is so strange...

[Action] mydearapple March 6 2010, 06:47:07 UTC

[He takes a look at the store and nods at her statement. He had only heard about what happened, but he knew exactly what it was that she found strange. Caesar remembered Albert telling him about "his" old room having caught fire and repairing itself shortly after. He also remembered Hugo's uncomfortable feelings toward the idea that dead people don't stay dead here. While these stories were relevant, he didn't feel like he really had to reinforce the point.]

It is, isn't it? Luceti is the land of impermanence.
