[ Action, Voice ] .035

[Christmas is not a holiday Katara is otherwise familiar with - and her journey to understand it has been bumpy. But what she does understand of it leads her to believe that it's a time especially set apart to show the people who you care about that you care about them. And if Toph going home - again - wasn't enough of a reminder to show the ( Read more... )

[Katara will find Capell outside on the front step playing a quiet melody and enjoying the peace when she stops by. It isn't "White Christmas", but it fits with the calm and snowy evening well enough.]

[Katara is carrying packages as she approaches. A rather large box, two smallish wrapped boxes, and what looks like a jar nestled in the crook of her arm. So she can't wave.

And she does hesitate a moment before interrupting him. Still.]

Hey, Capell!

[Action] the_soother December 25 2010, 05:58:55 UTC

[The last note trails of as he pulls the flute away. He smiles, until he sees all that she's holding.

He shoots up, scattering bits of snow from his pants as he does so.]

Whoa! Do you need some help?

[Action] markofthebrave December 25 2010, 06:19:32 UTC

No, I've got it! But you could get the door?

[She's kind of scared if he moves one thing the rest will come tumbling down.]

[Action] the_soother December 26 2010, 23:48:08 UTC

No problem. [He obediently opens the door for her.] What is all that?

[Action] markofthebrave December 26 2010, 23:57:39 UTC

Christmas presents. [She heads into the kitchen.] It's an Earth holiday. Two of them are for Katie.

[Action] the_soother December 27 2010, 00:48:27 UTC

Oh. [He trails after her with a small frown.] I guess that explains the gift giving statue.

[Action] markofthebrave December 27 2010, 01:13:01 UTC

Yeah. [Setting the boxes down on the kitchen table now, and reaching over for the circular one in the crook over her arm.] Did you push the button?

[Action] the_soother December 27 2010, 01:27:58 UTC

I almost didn't. [Because really. A golden statue of Bil doesn't exactly inspire confidence. He could have been turned back into a woman!] What about you?

[Action] markofthebrave December 27 2010, 01:37:43 UTC

Yeah, I did. It was actually... really nice. [As she speaks, she finishes sorting out the packages. And then she slides the large squareish one in his direction.] Here. It's for all of you, but you can open up this one.

[Action] the_soother December 27 2010, 02:56:38 UTC

I can't complain about what I got either.

[The smell of apple is the first thing he notices as he pulls the box closer and opens it up.

It's a cake. With apples. Score!]

This looks great, Katara!

[Action] markofthebrave December 27 2010, 22:13:13 UTC

Thanks! Baking's not my specialty, but I think it turned out all right.

[Action] the_soother December 28 2010, 05:12:38 UTC

[It smells like it turned out more than all right. He pulls it out of the box and sets it on the table to better admire it.

If an apple on top goes missing, no one will notice, right?]

Thanks, Katara.

[Action] markofthebrave December 28 2010, 05:59:47 UTC

[A quick grin. Yay, a face of gratitude and happiness. That makes it all worth it.]

You're welcome. [And then she sobers a little. She totally saw that, dude.] Make sure you save some for everyone else.

[Action] the_soother December 28 2010, 21:54:32 UTC

Heh, heh. I will. [All the apples on top may mysteriously go missing later, once Katara isn't around to catch him eating them.]

I'm sorry that I don't have anything for you in return.

[Action] markofthebrave December 29 2010, 07:00:15 UTC

It's not like you knew I was coming. Anyway, these two are for Katie, and anyone can open up that other one.
