girl talk (backdated to Saturday)

Character(s): Katara, Toph
Location: Katara's dorm
Rating: PG
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Both Katara and Toph have some things they just need to vent about.


It had been an interesting week for Katara; Jet's sudden appearance had thrown Katara for a loop, and it's caused for a big conflict of emotions. Their initial conversation hadn't exactly gone well-- while she thought she was ready to forgive him considering how things turned out in the time she was from, Jet had done a good job in reminding Katara exactly why she had been mad at him.

The timing was rather unfortunate; not only was she practically worrying every minute over whether or not Jet and Zuko were killing each other, but she was also getting nervous and anxious over the upcoming SeeD field exam. There wasn't much that she could do to prepare for it, but that didn't stop Katara from worrying and stressing.

She was in her dorm now, laying back in her bed and trying to clear her thoughts. Maybe a nap was in order…

"I'm going to beat the snot outta Damian." Toph's tone clearly said she thought that was obvious. "I'll deal with Aang after that. If Damian asked him to lie, I'll...do something but not beat the snot out of Aang. If he didn't....still figuring that part out."

She grinned. "At least Sokka's not being an idiot."

That has Katara laughing.

"Toph, Sokka is always an idiot. But surprisingly enough, he's being the least idiotic of everyone."

"Maybe it's an effect of that Time Compression thing," she joked, reaching for one of the kittens. "The smart guys turn stupid and Sokka....well, stays Sokka but is suddenly smart."

"Sokka does have his smart moments... it's just that his idiotic moments overshadow them most of the time."

She flopped back onto the mattress then to stare up at the ceiling.

"... Jet showed up the other day, you know."

That made Toph sit up.

"Jet? That guy from Lake Lao...whatever?"

Katara nodded, not at all moving from her current position from the bed.

"He was here before, when Zuko and I first came here... but then he disappeared. He showed up again, though, while we were in Fisherman's Horizon."

"And did he remember anything from...anywhere?" Toph turned to face Katara, even if she wasn't going to look directly at the spot she figured the other girl was currently sitting. "Or was he totally lost?"

[watertides.livejournal.com]

"Totally lost." Katara heaved a sigh, and remained quiet for a couple of moments.

"He came from just before we left him at Lake Laogai."

Toph winced. That was...yeah. "Ouch," she muttered. "So...right before he...?" She gestured in a way that was supposed to mean 'died' but really, could mean anything from 'died' to 'escaped'.
