Summary: Team Watertribe needs some sibling bonding time!


After finding Sokka at lunch, Katara had been in high spirits-- even the brief blimp with Zuko in the cafeteria managed to slip away from her mind at the mere knowledge that her brother had somehow made his way to this world. When they finished their meal (which took longer than usual thanks to the mountain of food Sokka had managed to pile onto his plate), Katara insisted that they go for a walk to talk-- she had missed her brother during hertwo weeks in this strange wold.

"Have you had a chance to walk around this place? It's so different from anything I've seen back at home!" She commented as they made their way around the lobby, her eyes cast upwards to the domed ceiling.

The sudden hug surprised her, but Katara wrapped her free arm around his shoulders, returning the embrace.

"I'm only agreeing to this because I trust you, Sokka-- but I swear, if he breaks my trust again..." She steadied her voice. "I'm not going to give him any more chances."

"I don't know where he is right now, Katara, and I can't promise anything. Being here... it changes everything. But I know he's got good in him, even if it's way down deep." Sokka let go of her and sighed. "On Boiling Rock... I made a plan and--and things changed. Zuko had the chance to leave then, but he didn't. He stuck with me even though that was the only way out at the time. He trusted me. And I trust him. I do."

"I just hope you're right. But what about Azula? She's here now, and she's conniving. I don't think she's going to let you just waltz up to her brother and try to bring him over to our side." There was a sigh as she crossed her arms again. It seemed like nothing was ever easy for them.

Eh, what fun was anything if it was easy?At least, that's what he kept telling himself. Sokka rubbed the back of his neck--Azula definitely might be a problem. But he was fore-armed with the knowledge that Zuko had walked away from her once, so he could do it again.

Right??

Dropping his arm, Sokka shrugged. "Probably not. But she can't be at his side all the time. And she's not allowed in the guy's dorms--and I know his roommate. Nice guy. Can't talk. Anyway, the point is that... well, I'll find a way. Azula might be crazy, but I'm persistant." He flashed a broad grin at his sister.

"That," Katara flicked a finger against his forehead as he gave her that wide smile, "you are."

She turned around then and gave a heavy sigh, complete with a showy heave of her shoulders as she started to walk again. "So persistent that sometimes I don't know how I put up with you."

"Mmm-hmm," Sokka said, lacing his hands behind his neck and following in his sister's wake. "It must be that sisterly love, the bond of family that keeps us together. Birthright of the youngest to endure the stupendousness of the older, wiser sibling..."

"Stupendouness? More like stupidness!" Katara's shoulders shook as a fit of giggles overcame her. She had to clamp her hands over her mouth to suppress the noise, though the mirth didn't cease.

Sokka stuck out his tongue and lightly hip-checked Katara. "Har har. So glad to see this place hasn't changed your sense of humor." But he flashed her a smile--it was good to hear Katara's laugh; Sokka might have held a stiff upper lip for her, but that sound helped ease some of the worry he was trying not to show.
