[Someone has just returned to her cabin and slammed the door, flopping dramatically on her bed for a "Zuko-is-a-huge-d-bag" cry]

[had come for the daily riding lesson but... senses something is off] Katara?

[hoseb4bros]

[She's curled up on her bed and she doesn't look at him]

Go away.

[al_for_one]

Katara, what has happened?

[coming closer instead]

[hoseb4bros]

It's nothing. I'm fine.

[CLEARLY HAS BEEN CRYING. Sniff]

[al_for_one]

'Tis not nothing, if it has brought you to tears.

[hoseb4bros]

[Still facing the wall]

Zuko's just a huge jerk, that's all.

[al_for_one]

What has he done? I shall find him and make him cry your pardon...

[hoseb4bros]

I won't make you do that. And it's... complicated.

[al_for_one]

[Sitting nearby.] 'Tis distressing to see thee pained...

[hoseb4bros]

...He told Jet he didn't like me. Well, I know he meant he didn't want to date me, but it still hurt, so I got mad.

And he said I'd... augh.

[al_for_one]

'Tis a thoughtless thing to say. I cannot think of how he could have said worse.

[hoseb4bros]

He said I'd be less emotional if I had a boyfriend.

[al_for_one]

I cannot find the words...

[hoseb4bros]

You don't have to.

And anyway, I was right for being annoyed, and I don't need some boy to magically make me a better person. It wouldn't even happen like that, and I don't need it to.

[al_for_one]

Aye. I like you as you are but if change were to happen 'twould come from within thee and nowhere else.

[hoseb4bros]

I just... He called me crazy. Or, said I was acting crazy. But he shouldn't have just yelled he didn't like me, whether or not he meant like. And it's not like I...

...He just should think before he talks.
