[And Katara's voice is remarkably distressed.]

Losing people you care about - it never gets easier, does it? Never, ever, ever.

[A pause.]

Cloud's gone. From the castle. That's -- all, I guess.

I'm sorry...he was nice, wasn't he?

[ Oh, that's not good. ]

[siebter]

It's okay, this one has my name on it so I know it's mine. And sometimes I can use the elevator, if there are people in it.

[kyasdaughter]

No - I bet we could find someone who wouldn't mind switching.

[siebter]

It's okay...I used to be on the eighth floor, after all!

[kyasdaughter]

D'you think you'd be able to manage if you were on the second floor?

[siebter]

I guess...but I can manage here, too! I'm fine, really!

[kyasdaughter]

But there's no reason you should have to.

[siebter]

I don't mind. And this way, I'm getting better at going up and down the stairs.

[kyasdaughter]

Okay, okay.

[and Katara is definitely not making a post to the journals asking about free rooms on the second floor. Definitely not.]

[siebter]

[ Of course not. ]

What about you? Is your room okay?

[kyasdaughter]

My room's fine. I never really decorated much, either. And I set it on fire once by accident, so.. no lost feelings there, getting a new one.

[siebter]

...you did? Really?

[ He actually sounds kind of impressed. ]

How?

[kyasdaughter]

Um. It was a loss I had for a little while. I was able to create fire, but I wasn't very good at.. controlling it.

[siebter]

It must have been kind of scary, even if it does sound neat.

[kyasdaughter]

It was mostly just annoying.

[siebter]

Oh...I know I'd be scared if I could do something like that.
