What is wrong with this-- ugh! [Random pushing of buttons and then the video comes on. You all see Katara in her sleepless glory - dark bags under her eyes, eyebrows furrowed and hair disheveled.] If you don't want to cooperate, fine!

[She throws the device on her bed when she storms off.]I just knew it! This place is

[Gremio is always up early, so he's awake enough to see this--and it immediately fills him with worry.]

Katara, what is it? Are you hurt?

[drizzlinginside]

I'm not... I just... [The next few words sounds more irritated than she intended.] ... I can't sleep.

[axeofoath]

[He's unfazed by the irritation--rather, he sympathizes with how she feels and tries to be understanding.] That's terrible! How long has this been happening?

[drizzlinginside]

[Aw, such a caring Mommy, Gremio!] For three nights now. The only explanation is that this is a curse.

[axeofoath]

[Katara is very important! He'll care for her if she needs it.] That long? For a curse to have such a horrible effect-!

Wait just a moment. I'll head to your home immediately.

[drizzlinginside]

[Aww, Mama Gremio is important too!] What? No, you don't have to--!

[axeofoath]

[And Mama Gremio won't take no for an answer!] Nonsense. You've done so much for the young master and myself, Katara. Please allow me to return the favour.

[drizzlinginside]

[Such a forceful mother! Katara lets out a tired sigh.] ... Alright. Thank you.

video -> action

[axeofoath]

Then I shall be there as soon as I can. Please wait just a little longer. [He's firm when necessary. And he gets under way, making a side trip to the market to pick up some necessities, before he's knocking on her door.]

action; placeholder-y! off to graduate! 8D

[drizzlinginside]

[It takes a while before she opens it. And when she does, Gremio would be able to see just how the lack of sleep has taken its toll on her.] Thanks, Gremio. Come in.

action; eeee, I hope it went well!! *A*

[axeofoath]

Th-thank you...[He's a little taken aback by how terrible she looks as he comes inside; for a moment, the bag he's carrying--which gives off a slightly flowery scent--is forgotten while he places a gentle hand on her shoulder.] Oh, Katara...This is awful. We must get you some rest.

action; ahhh it did :3

[drizzlinginside]

[She looks to the side.] I would have gotten some if I could... [Sounded more irritated than necessary.]

action; yaaaay~! and congratulations! :D

[axeofoath]

[Her irritation doesn't bother him one bit. He's only worried about her well-being, so he gently squeezes her shoulder.] I understand. I brought something that I hope might be of use--Now, please sit down and relax while I draw you a bath.

action; thank yooouuu :'D

[drizzlinginside]

Thank you. I appreciate this a lot. [She would have given Gremio even a weak smile, but as it is, she just obeyed him and sat on the living room couch.]

action; ♥♥♥

[axeofoath]

Please don't mention it. I only hope it will help. [So very worried about her! Thankfully, since he was here once before, he knows where the bathroom is and sets about preparing a bath. It isn't long before he returns to the living room to check on her.]

Katara, it's ready. Do get in quickly, while it's still warm. [If she does go into the bathroom, she'll find the tub filled with nice, hot water...and several sprigs of lavender. The water emanates a soothing, relaxing aroma thanks to the plant.]

action; ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[drizzlinginside]

Alright. [She stands up, however weakly and goes to the direction of the bathroom. When she enters, Katara has to turn around to address Gremio.]

This much...? Oh, Gremio, you really didn't have to...
