[Hey look, butterflies. Know what she likes to do with those? Cat is as cat does.

Hence, this brief public service announcement brought to you while on the run down the street, sounding a little out of breath but not particularly terrified. Possibly ...revolted. And also, just possibly, there is a little blood on her chin.]Don't eat them, either

[Katara has not been oblivious to the announcements, and that is exactly why she's out on the streets with her waterskin. And after Katie's display on the rooftops the other day, this is the last thing she expected to see. She's concerned.] Katie?

[Action]

[flicker_flash]

[Yeah, funny thing about those trees. Even if it weren't for the fact that what amounts to a piece of wood is a lot easier for her magic to latch onto than a demonic golem spawned from the inside of someone's intestines? She's kind of still a little low on glamour here. :|]

Katara!

[Which is of course why she skids to a halt ... right behind you. |D You can do scary things with water, go nuts.]

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[See, she knows none of this. Just that you were able to flick the Green Lantern to Kefka. But those questions can wait when you dodge behind her - protective insticts pinged - and she glances to see five Teases a few feet behind.

Well, that won't do. Three of them are sliced neatly in half with fast, repeated sstrikes of a water whip, and then she sends out a stream of water to impact the other two, freezing them. She lets them fall to the ground and shatter.

Time to check on the running child. She turns around.] Are you okay?

[Action]

[flicker_flash]

[Running child - now hiding-behind-waterbender child - has blood on her chin, but no obvious injury.] ...I swallowed a bug.

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

[Not an adult, not someone she needs to hide behind from as aside from the ones she tried to eat any butterflies close to her are going to be fried.]

Hoyoku Tenshou!!

[Action]

[flicker_flash]

[...and she recognises that. Crispy-fried butterflies. No fair, she's supposed to owe you a favour.]

Thank you!

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

Are you okay, Katie?

[There aren't that many butterflies, but Ikki isn't not someone to take things easy. As far as he knows this could just be just a first attack to which more will follow.

So without waiting for a reply from her he's already getting in front of her, his Cosmos flaring to involve her as well so any butterflies stay away from them.]

[Action]

[flicker_flash]

Apart from a case of small pox. [Hee, Ikki's so cool. Shifting from one foot to the other.] Are butterflies always this violent?

[one_green_eye]

[feeling oddly himself with bug-shaped disaster fluttering around everywhere, Ginko is keeping a sharp listen on the journals. He's ping'd by the keywords "eat"

...and "eat"

in a small girl voice.]

....wait-- you didn't eat one, did you?

[ voice ] |D keywords so relevant

[flicker_flash]

Don't be silly, of course not. [Huff of air as she runs, then turns aside to cough for just a moment. You know. The way someone does if they've accidentally swallowed a fly.] Little girls don't eat butterflies.

[ voice ]

[one_green_eye]

[Well, as you're clearly more than a little girl, he'll be taking that as a yes.]

Ahh.

That's good.

-- you keeping safe from them, Leaf? I don't think they're as reluctant to eat little girls.

[ voice ]

[flicker_flash]

Oh, I've never been safer. The sky is full of superheroes, today. And I have a pet waterbender.

[All the same, getting home as soon as possible. And idly wondering if mushishi can fly.]

Are you trying to catch any?

[Voice]

[vermified]

Katie, you should be indoors!

[Danger makes him forget pretend names, woo.]

[Voice]

[flicker_flash]

But it's very nice out here! I was thinking of starting a collection.

[And by that we mean she's hightailing it home as fast as she can. :|]

[Voice]

[vermified]

Don't be foolish! Do you want to die!?

[You're such a fibber. She'll find him at the house, attacking any butterflies that dare come near. With Sigmund gone he'll be defending Svala with all he's got.]

[Voice->Action]

[flicker_flash]

Don't be silly. I'm never foolish.

[And in a few short minutes, here comes Katie, tearing past Edward without so much as a hello and diving into the house. It's okay. She'll be out again as soon as she's retrieved her sword from the bedroom.]

[ voice ]

[inheritsfate]

...I told you to be careful.

[ voice ]

[flicker_flash]

I was very careful!

[...she wasn't careful at all.]

[ voice ]

[inheritsfate]

[ Not going to argue. No point. ]

Stay inside and away from them. They don't just taste bad!

[ voice ]

[flicker_flash]

[...]

What are they?
