Katara and her boyfriend, Bumi's ward Masaomi, are heading back to the house after Katara had an experience that left her shaken with an Avatar that doesn't remember her. Sokka and his good friend Winry from Omashu are moving her back into the Avatar House after her belongings had mysteriously vanished. What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, it's a little odd too...

[okay, the bed, with this last fold over, is done. He rolls his shoulder and get ready to help her with the bulletin board]

[reoccurred]

[Winry picks up her side of the board with ease, and when he's ready she'll guide him over to a spot she set up for it to hang.]

[generalflirt]

[He's ready quick like too. Lead on, he'll comply with what she wants and get it up there]

[reoccurred]

[When it's up she steps back to take a look. Winry nods and smiles.]

Looks great.

[generalflirt]

It does! ...Actually, this is a pretty cozy room you have here, Winry.

[reoccurred]

Thank you, I'm really lucky to have it.
[Despite having a relatively boring life before meeting the Gaang, she's always had the fear of being abandoned or discarded like she was as a baby. Sometimes she wonders if it was her hair. Perhaps her parents were too afraid to raise a child that would draw so much attention in a time of war. She was a freak, a genetic anomaly, and she will always be scared of being left alone. Sigh.]

So, it's pretty much done. Let's go. [She gestures at the door.]

[generalflirt]

Ah... haha. [He listens. He can still hear Katara and Sokka arguing. Distantly. Maybe he should keep her a bitlonger]

Actually, maybe we should talk a bit more. Sokka and Katara have something they're discussing.

[reoccurred]

What, you think it's something they wouldn't want us to hear?

[She tries to listen too, and moves to peek her head out of the room.]

[generalflirt]

Mm, I'm positive it isn't, given it's about us.

[reoccurred]

Us? [She steps away from the door way.]

Why us?

[generalflirt]

Because... Katara doesn't remember you being in Omashu and Sokka doesn't remember me being there.

[And it hurts, to have Sokka not be his friend]

[reoccurred]

She... doesn't?

[But Katara and her were girl buddies. They would jokingly make fun of Sokka and his subpar cooking and exchange recipes from their culture and- First Aang, now Katara? This is sad.]

[generalflirt]

I'm assuming she doesn't, I guess. But I was with her through pretty much all of both of these trips.

...I'm sorry.

[It's painful, he knows]

[reoccurred]

[Winry takes a seat on her bed. There was a crushing feeling in her heart. She was wrong. She didn't fit. She knew it all along, but until now she could fight it. Pretend. Winry cups a hand over her mouth. She'll try not to cry in front of this boy, but... it's hard. Reality sucks.]

[generalflirt]

[..Hah. He shakes his head and sits down next to her. He can't pull her into a hug or anything, but he does look at her sympathetically.]

The Sokka I remember is good friends with me... but I can tell, the one in the other room hates me.

[...]

Winry, why don't you tell me about yourself?

[reoccurred]

[Her voice cracks.]

I'm not- you wouldn't want to hear about me.

[generalflirt]

Noo, I asked, so I would.

Trust me.

[reoccurred]

Wh-where should I start?

[generalflirt]

Wherever you feel comfortable but... probably home, right~? [A little sigh] I can't speak for you, but I love Omashu.

[reoccurred]

[a smile tugs at the corner of her lips, but it won't happen just yet.]

Me too. Before the Fire nation took over everything was warm and friendly. King Bumi was... eccentric, but he loved his people and ruled them well. I always wanted to try and use the mailing system like Aang and his friends had, but I never had the guts to do it.

[generalflirt]

I actually did, myself. It's as fun as it looks~

[With a little laugh. Only mildly forced, because it's a fond memory of his King.]

[reoccurred]

Did you get into a lot of trouble?

[generalflirt]

Not at all! [A little wry grin and-] After all I did with my King.

[reoccurred]

You did it with King Bumi?

[generalflirt]

When I was just a little boy.
