Hey, can I ask you guys a favor?

[Private to Derek]
Hey, Derek. Sokka said Donnie was passing on a message from you - that you were ready to give it a try? So when would you like to do this?

[Filtered 100 percent away from Sokka]Hey, everyone. I know it's incredibly lousy timing, but it's Sokka's

They're sending him out to fight right after his birthday? That's some present alright.

[A beat.]

I'll see what I can do, Katara.

[filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks, Riku. I know it's been a hard couple of weeks for everyone so - I appreciate it.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit]

It's the least I could do. Might as well leave on a positive note, especially after that experiment.

[filtered]

[markofthebrave]

[Ugh, don't mention the experiment. We do not speak its name!]

Yeah.

[xelhes]

[Well, she's really not going to give him a hug after last week. Really not going to give him a hug. But it is good to get a little notice.]

Thanks. ...Well, I guess you could do something afterwards and just make it a little belated.

[...

It's you.

Oh, you've got guts commenting here, Katara will give you that.

...of course, rationally, Katara knows it's no more your fault than it was Sokka's. But at the same time she is so, so not sure how she feels about you being around them or in the same general area as Sokka and Suki so close after the mess you - the experiment caused.]

[markofthebrave]

[Sigh.

Stupid fairness.

Her voice is friendly enough. Oh, but she is watching.]

We probably will do something like that, yeah. It's nice to celebrate what we can that's real here.

[...opps, was that pointed? She didn't mean it to be, but well. Not taking it back.]

[xelhes]

[It's less about guts and more about her not thinking that she had to worry about Katara. Suki, she knew, was someone she'd have to be very careful around. Katara, though she knew she had been aware of what was going on, she hadn't even thought of having a problem

I'm not as late as usual :|a

[notaboy_gtfo]

... What's up?

[ This is how Smellerbee does "nice because you're getting your asses tossed out into a giant battle to the death." ]

Not late at all!

[markofthebrave]

[That's fine, dude, Katara doesn't want to talk about the giant battle to the death anyway.]

It looks like all of us will be gone for a little bit, so I was hoping that I could get you guys to watch Momo? He takes care of himself for the most part, and will steal all your peaches, but he can be kind of fun to have around.

[And she has a feeling that if she leaves the lemur at home by himself, he'll tear the place apart. And be lonely. Which is worse.]

[notaboy_gtfo]

[ Pet-sitting duty. Pff. She'd be a little more MY PEACHES >E but there's a store with a steady supply of free ones, so. ] Is he just gonna run off if we keep an eye on him?

[markofthebrave]

No, he knows you guys. I think he'll stick around. If you guys haven't found a place to stay yet, you could even stay here, if you think that would be easier.

[sokkafangirl]

Thanks for letting everyone know, Katara. [Birthdays, huh. She'll have to track the date more closely for a bit, in that case.] ...I didn't get him anything, though! [She'd been so mad at him and then happy and then mad again and arrrgh. How is she going to find something so short notice?]

[markofthebrave]

Well, it's not like you guys planned to come back to town for it. I'm sure he'll understand.

[sokkafangirl]

Maybe I should try to find something now? If there's enough time.

[markofthebrave]

[Shrug.] If you want, we can make time. It's not like we need to do that much before we head out - we're just stuck here waiting.

[There might be a slight sulk here. Waiting sucks.]
