When: Continuing this thread; before this thread;
March 13, late afternoon (because EVERYTHING worth happening happened that day, apparently)
Where: The Barracks
Summary: Because talking to a book doesn't cut it sometimes. In which Ginko explains something that isn't mushi.
Rating: PG

If this is going to turn into a fight...? That thought would amuse him, if he could hear it. He doesn't smile-- but there is something soft about his expression, all the same. When Katara turn and greets him, he doesn't say anything at all. He just looks at her, thoughtfully-- before taking the cigarette from his mouth with something between a sigh and an exhale.

"Those are the motions for waterbending, huh? Those moves look a lot stronger than what you showed me before."

Ginko plans on approaching the subject the way you search for something lost on a mountainside. Circling in broad rings, slowly working over the trodden and untrodden places; with patience.

"Those were some forms for combat." When she's emotionally drained, Katara is not exactly subtle. "The water whip and the water jet. They're basic, but extremely effective."

She wasn't going to hide what she was. She'd fought her whole life to learn to use her abilities, and she was proud of how far she'd come. If Ginko didn't understand that she was responsible to use those abilities to try to help people, then... then maybe she'd been wrong about him too.
