/collects Katara's boyfriends idek

[toomotherly]

So. I'm glad you're not dead.

[Could that sound any more lame? No. Does she have a better way to get across the fact that she's just really, really glad he's still around and also that she still kind of thinks he's cute?

Also no.]

catch 'em all katara. B)

[jetset]

[ his eyebrows dip and arch, and he's clearly amused. it's okay, he's used to girls having feelings in his general vicinity. and there's a hint of a smile behind that smirk. ]

Give yourself a pat on the back, then. It's mostly thanks to you.

it's not my fault she falls for every boy ever

[toomotherly]

[There might be the beginnings of a blush, but she will never admit to such a thing.]

I should have done more. How... How are you feeling? Are you hurt at all still or are you healed?

what are we gonna do with you katara

[jetset]

I'm fine. [ that's a lie; when a rock almost squishes your insides to jelly, you don't just sleep it off. he's healed, but some of the pain is still there. ] You worry too much. How are you?

too many boyfriends anonymous?

[toomotherly]

[She's gotten better at recognizing when people are lying to her, so she doesn't buy that completely. He does look okay, but most of him is covered up and she can't see if it's true. Don't make her jab you in the stomach to find out if you'll flinch or not, Jet.]

I'm fine. [She says it quickly, dismissively, because Jet is the one she's worried about right now, he's the one they need to be talking about.] Let me see.

i hear their 12 step programme is fab

[jetset]

[ he cocks a brow. ]

What? I swear, I'm okay. If this is a plan to get me out of my shirt, I gotta say, you're a little transparent there, Katara.

[ stomach-jabbing might be necessary. ]

/checks her in immediately

[toomotherly]

[Of course she blushes, because that wasn't what she meant at all even if she wouldn't mind it. Mostly, though, she glares. That's what she's good at.]

We'll see about that.

[And she does jab him, not too hard, right in the stomach, as far to side of where she remembers his actual wound to be as she can. It should be far enough away to not hurt him too much because that's the last thing she wants, to cause him more pain.]

[jetset]

[ he reaches out a hand to swat at hers in what would have been a playful manner, but he doesn't get there fast enough. it's a hit! and while it does hurt, he tries to wrestle the expression of pain on his face into one of nonchalance as soon as it comes. casually: ]

What that supposed to prove something?

[toomotherly]

Yes, and it did. [Her hands are on her hips now and oh, does she mean business.]

Take your shirt off, Jet. And no- innuendo!

[jetset]

[ well. he has two choices, he guesses. pretend to be okay and get yelled at, or let himself get checked over and get mothered.

door number two looks okay. ]

Okay, okay. [ he slips off his shoulder guards first, giving her a droll look. ] I guess I taught you something about giving orders.

[toomotherly]

[Immediately she's reaching out to help with that, because she still feels kind of guilty that she didn't do something about his pain earlier.]

Guess you're not completely useless after all.

[There's none of that earlier harshness now, she says it almost like it's a compliment. Her eyes are watching him like a hawk, scanning for any flinch or the first glimpse of the injuries she's sure she'll see under his shirt.]

[jetset]

[ well, he's not going to complain about that. he accepts the help, and then steps back to pull his shirt over his head. he winces in pain when his arms go over his head because ouch, but hopefully she didn't catch that. and there's that big ol' scar, a la longfeng. ]

Stop it, you'll make me blush.

[toomotherly]

[Nope, he is out of luck, she totally saw that. It makes her frown even more and there's just so much guilt. She should have checked on him sooner, she should have stayed and helped. She could have caught up with Aang later, there had to have been some other way to make sure Jet was okay.

She bends water from the skin hanging at her side and doesn't wait for permission- she passes it over the area where the scar is, knowing she can't take the scar itself away but that she can at least make it stop hurting so much. All of her earlier cockiness is gone and when she speaks, her voice is soft.]

I'm sorry.

[jetset]

[ he hears it in her voice. the guilt. he won't tell her what to feel, but he knows that without the bit of help that she gave him, he might not have lasted. he draws in a breath as the pain begins to recede, and the smile that he gives her now is not unlike the one her gave her then. ]

I think you might have said that already, you know.

[toomotherly]

Yeah, well. It needed to be said again.

[That smile he's giving her helps, though. She relaxes a bit and glances up at him, and she might be getting dangerously close to tearbending right now. She could have lost him, for good this time, and the idea makes her stomach hurt. He was trying to be good now, and that crush she had is coming back with a vengeance.]

[jetset]

[ no... no, don't tearbend. what are girltears. he rests a hand on top of her head. ]

It's fine. I'm here, aren't I?

[toomotherly]

[Her shoulders droop when he touches her head and she moves in a little, eyes on his chest instead of his face. She's going to hug you, Jet, and she's going to hug you very soon.]

Do you at least feel better now?

[jetset]

[ hugging....! well, go on, stare at his chest all you like. trollface.jpg

he blinks, a little surprised. he'd forgotten about this discomfort, and now that he's remembered.. ]

Yeah, I do, actually. Looks like I owe you one. Again.

[toomotherly]

[Yep, there go her arms, wrapping very loosely around his waist as she leans into him. She tries to hold him delicately because even if he does feel better, she still doesn't want to hurt him.]

Let's just forget it, okay? You don't owe me anything. If anything, I owe you.

[What she owes him, she doesn't know. All she does know is that hugging him is nice and it's only slightly weird that he's got his shirt off for it.]

[jetset]

[ it doesn't surprise him overly much, so it's only a second before he returns the hug casually, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her a little closer. the shirtless thing isn't too weird for him; he figures she'll pull away if if gets weird for her. most of his pain is gone; if it there, he doesn't notice it. ]

Owe me? [ he sounds both amused and bemused as he uses his free hand to lift her chin up a bit. ] I can't wait to hear this one.

para-verse, baby.

[waterbends]

[and who is that, rapping on your chamber door?

it's katara with a treat for dro. :B]

Hey, Jet! Dro! Are you guys in there?

come and get it

[jetset]

[ normally, they don't spend a lot of time in there, but this is your lucky day, girl. jet's voice calls out: ]

Yeah, it's open! Come on in.

[waterbends]

[Katara comes in AND FALLS IMMEDIATELY IN LOVE WITH DRO.

THEY RUN AWAY INTO THE SUNSET TOGETHER AND LEAVE YOU ALONE IN THE CASTLE WITH ZUKO.

ENJOY THAT, JET. and greets them both with a little wave.]

I thought I'd come check on you.

[jetset]

[ KATARA HOW COULD YOU. :| BROS BEFORE DROS, GIRL.

he's sitting on the window sill, and jumps off as she comes in. ]

Is has been a little while, hasn't it?
