[Grief is a part of life, and when it's something as serious as friends going away, never seeing them again, being left - Katara has learned that it's best to stitch it in to her days, to continue to live her life as she normally would but to take moments. Moments where she'll close her eyes in pain, moments where she'll pause to remember, moments ( Read more... )

[Eventually, Katara might notice Sanji in the house. She let Brook get the door, but manners demand she at least see who's visiting them, and she pokes her head into whichever room the younger girl's frequenting today.

She should thank her - it's not nearly as quiet now]

Katara-chan!

[She's taken over your kitchen, Sanji, bwahahaha. Or, well, borrowed a set of matches. Everything else she brought with her - the small pot, the bunsen burner, and the few other ingredients. She's stirring what's in the pot now and glances up at the familiar name, if not-exactly familiar voice.]

Hi, Sanji.

[She smiles, a little strained at the very edges because - this isn't weird or terrible at all.] Come in, have a seat!

[ETA: It's doubtful Sanji would miss the new look.]

[... She doesn't know where to start with this - a dressed-up Katara making stuff in her kitchen. Not that she minds! It's just... suddenly a lot, in light of the quiet somberness that had taken over the house. Sanji merely blinks until her feet finally obey the summons]

Awaah~! Katara-chan looks just like a princess~!

[A slightly more genuine smile.] Thanks. I think that's probably what it was modeled after. It reminded me a lot of Yue's dress.

[Sometime during the construction of the sculpture, Riku passes by. However, Katara's work catches his attention, so rather than returning back to the house to do guard duty, he turns around and walks up to her.]

What's this about?

markofthebrave January 9 2011, 06:28:27 UTC

[She glances over her shoulder.]

Oh - hey, Riku.

stilldontgotit January 9 2011, 19:13:11 UTC

Hey.

[He takes another look at the sculpture.]

You been working on this for a while?

markofthebrave January 10 2011, 01:24:44 UTC

A little bit. It took a while to figure out what I was doing.

[It's shortly after his own dinner that Richard wanders by, just out enjoying the snowfall and a quiet moment to himself. He's dressed up a bit more than he typically is, partly because those boots work quite well against snow, and partly because it's somehow comforting to be wearing clothing that seems like it comes from his homeworld.

When he sees the sculpture, he stops to watch Karara work, admiring both it and the way she seems to do so so very effortlessly.]

[It appears to be dress up night! Katara's back is quite deliberately to the street at the moment, so she won't be noticing the audience right away.]

[At last Richard decides to break the silence as he moves closer.]

That's very lovely. Is today a special occasion?

markofthebrave January 10 2011, 01:23:30 UTC

[Katara glances over her shoulder while continuing to form a loop.]

Oh - hi, Richard. No, not really.

[And don't let her fancy dress tell you otherwise. 8|]

[Unfortunately, Shikamaru was actually out of the apartment when Katara stopped by earlier. There's a lot of training you can't do indoors after all.

It's as he's heading home that he notices the snow sculpture. Curiosity is a go, and he mulls that over for a second or too before stepping into the bar.]

[Well, he might notice a familiar head of hair with her back angled away from the door, even though the hair is arranged differently and he's a boy... but well, ninja. Also, not many people in Luceti go around in a blue parka like she has folded on one of the bar stools to the side.

...the dress is different too, though. And the shoulders are slightly slumped.]

its_troublesome January 11 2011, 06:39:20 UTC

[Yes, we'll go with ninja on the reasons why he's noticed. No matter how many times Ino might stress the importance of fashion, he'll never see the point behind it. All he needs to know is that it makes girls happy, for some reason, and if they ask then yes, he noticed the change.

He takes the bar stool that ins't currently occupied by a parka.]

Let me guess. Hot chocolate and cinnamon.

markofthebrave January 11 2011, 06:47:14 UTC

[She glances over her shoulder at the unexpected familiar voice.]

Good guess. [Small smile. Tight and almost polite at the edges, though if you make it past the shadows in her eyes there is some of that regular casual affection reserved for almost-actual-friends.]
