[Jet’s walking around, only half paying attention as he scans the letter in his one hand.  It’s about the third time he’s done this now, and nothing seems to be registering.  Which frustrates him more than worries him.  They can’t explain how he got here or how he got back, but they could leave a letter just to inform him of it, huh?  How convinient.
 
A little more aggressively than he intends to, he stuffs the paper into his pocket and lets his hand linger there.  He lets his other hand find the other pocket as he quickens his pace.  A thousand thoughts are racing through his mind, and by now he's practically jogging in hopes of a familiar face.  Were the others here?  He’d been fighting (with?) Aang, right?  Maybe he got sucked into this place or whatever.
 
Walking along the Fisherman’s Horizon, Jet goes to call out the names of his friends but stops.  What use would it be?  What if it would endanger them or somehow lure them here or--
 
Temptation gets the better of him and he ventures out more, frowning and pursing his lips.]
 
Guess this is home.

[He winces and reaches out to grab her wrist. He was just on the brinks of gaining her trust at home, or so he believed. Now he was just throwing the past he was trying to forget in her face.]

You know I have. And if you still need me to make it up to you, I will. I don't want to argue with you.

It's hard to believe that when you keep reminding me of the things you've done.

[She gives a tug of her wrist; she's too angry now to try and hear him out.]

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

[Don't leave him alone!]

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[Jet, you've left Katara no choice.



The silent treatment.]

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

[...girls are so annoying.]

Well?

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[Sorry Jet, she's just giving you 'The Look'.]

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

Stop that...Katara, talk to me. ...hit me? Will that help?

[watertides.livejournal.com]

No, that wouldn't help.

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

...but it got you to talk to me.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[She almost makes a retort to that, but shuts her mouth before anything can escape. Instead, she glares at Jet, her arms crossing over her chest.]

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

C'mon...don't stay mad. I only just got here...[He leans in to give a light nudge.]

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[That has Katara wavering a bit. After all, in her time... this wouldn't be a possible meeting.

But the fact that he has brought up some aspects of the past that don't play very well in his favor makes it difficult for her to be so forgiving. Not to mention she's still a bit hesitant when it comes to trusting Jet-- he did use her, and it makes her doubt whether he even liked her at all.

Not that it matters.]

You're not doing a great job at making me not get mad at you.

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

[Only it does because Katara's a girl and feelings matter to her.

And he gives a sympathetic look and takes in a deep breath. Zuko, yeah, he was mad he was here, but he was more than relieved to find Katara. Why let the feelings get mixed?

For the record, he liked her.]

It's been a long morning...I'm sorry. I am.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[Katara heaves a sigh. She agrees; it has been a long morning.]

Fine, you're sorry. And I'm not forgiving you just because I'm easy to convince.

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

[He does the same.]

Fair enough, you're not expected to. Want me to leave you alone?

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[And let Jet go scour the town for Zuko? Katara knows what he's up to.]

I can show you around, if you want.

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

[Maybe he just wants alone time, ever think of that, Katara~]

I figured you were busy. If you have the time, sure.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[And Katara starts walking.]

This place is really different from our world.
