Character(s): Headmaster Cid, Katara
Location: Headmster's Office
Rating: G
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Katara's been called upon by Garden Faculty to the Headmaster's Office to speak with the Headmaster on what had happened in Dollet.

[Cid waits patiently for the young Cadet to arrive and be announced by the Faculty, pen scribbling along the line requiring his signature. After the recent newsletter and the incident, damage control is necessary in Dollet as well as with the Gardens.

He sets the freshly signed document to the side and picks up the next one, eyes narrowing at what it reads and glances across to the doors of his office, hearing the voices out in the hallway.]

Well, in our world, we have benders who have the ability to manipulate one of four elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Only one person has the ability to bend all for elements, the Avatar. Aang's the Avatar in our lifetime, and he's actually at the school as well! But he hasn't exactly mastered firebending yet...

Other than that, Toph is an Earthbender-- she can manipulate earth, rocks, sand, and metal. Zuko and Azula are Firebenders, but Azula is the only one who is capable of shooting lightning.

[Katara watches as the Headmaster repetitively pokes at the water-- a couple moments later, she lets out a breath against the liquid, freezing it.]

[He gasps, eyes going even wider, bows lifting higher.] Most fascinating..! You actually turned it to ice!

[The Headmaster straightens then and strokes his chin in thought over the information she's just shared about the other elemental abilities the other cadets from her world possess.]

I remember the one Cadet, yes. He was the one who was brought in for fighting with with you upon arriving, correct?

Cadet Aang, Cadet Zuko, Cadet Toph, and Cadet Azula. Hmmm...

[Katara gives a nod, looking a bit sheepish. Oh, yeah-- getting in trouble and being sent to the Headmasters office the first day definitely was not the best way to set a good first impression. Good thing he doesn't know about the other fight...]

Yes, sir-- that's him. Azula is his sister.

I had no idea. And she is able to perform the same ability as he? Using fire?

[With a thoughtful look, Cid begins to casually pace in front of her. He pauses as he reaches one end and tilts his head to look up at the ceiling for a moment.]

Perhaps I'll have a talk with each of them. To get a feel for the abilities they each possess because, really, this is all so fascinating.

[He turns back to her and moves to stand in front of her again, smiling warmly. But the smile is brief. His next words are somber, as is his expression.]

Cadet Katara. I must strongly advise that you tread carefully with such an ability when outside of Garden, understood? After the incident in Dollet, we must be extra vigilant. To have the elements at your command - there are many already who are claiming you to be a witch. You are restricted from using it outside of Garden unless absolutely necessary.

[Cid raises a brow.]

Personally I consider it a gift. And a beautiful one at that. [He smiles again and gently taps her on the nose with a finger before stepping back.]

[Katara simply nods along-- it seems more like he's musing to himself more than anything. But when he turns to address her, Katara stiffens slightly. She'd expected such a speech, though, and she has to admit this meeting was going far better than she could ever hope for. To signal that she'd listened to ever word he'd said, Katara nods and gives a small salute.]

Yes, Sir. I'll be sure to keep my waterbending under wraps and confined within Garden. [And she relaxes at his last comment, her smile bright. Though, after a moment, she remembers something she'd seen in the paper that hard sparked her interest. Shifting her weight slightly, when she speaks she's hesitant.]

Uhm, Sir... I know this might not be the best time to ask about this, but I remember seeing an ad in the newsletter regarding a life guarding position at the pool. I took First Aid last quarter and I'm CPR certified-- has anyone else asked about the position yet? [Her expression is hopeful as she looks up at him.]
