[There is a flower pot sitting on the grass in the Quad, decorated thoroughly with red markers, and as it was newly planted, it was just a pot of dirt. But one day it would blossom into a beautiful crocosmia! The future red beauty deserves no other owner than Grell! Said owner is still a bit baffled by what went on over the weekend, and a bit upset that he missed the weekend entirely and had to go back to classes already!

Ten days straight of classes! The nerve of this time compression!

Even though his class was in charge of taking care of the garden, he decided to not do so, and let others do the work. He had his own plant to water and such!

Ah, speaking of watering!

Grell puts down his CS 101 text and notebook and goes over to his red watering can, tipping it over the pot that seems so parched.]

My, my! How dry you look! Some yummy water will do you some goo--

[DRIP]

...wh-what...

[CUE FREAK OUT]

What terrible deity has done this to us?! [Shakes his fist at the sun in anger.] You took away the nourishment for my precious!

[He might have just forgotten to fill up the can...

Turns around and cups his hand around his mouth to project his already loud voice, waving his red watering can around with the free arm.]

A kingdom for water! A kingdom for water!

[Katara hears the commotion from the other side of the Quad-- she'd been sitting under a large tree, reading her Biology textbook and doing the lab questions. Her eyes are wide when she spots the red-head frantically waving around her watering can, screaming something about 'water'... What is going on?

She gets up and carefully approaches the woman.]


Miss... is there something wrong?

[Someone was trying to do Math homework - and failing pretty badly at it - when he heard the incredibly loud commotion. Being the brat he is, Damian heaves a marker or two in Grell's direction.]

Will you shut up?! There's water right over there, zift.

["zift" meaning idiot in Arabic. He gestures towards a dripping hose nearby, though god only knows how Damian managed to spot it.]

[She sees both the can and the plant, and realizes the problem-- and she can't help but find the whole thing to be quite dramatic. But in an effort to calm the woman down, Katara holds her hands up cautiously.]

Don't worry, I can help!

[And with a swift swipe of her arm, Katara draws out a decent amount of water from the air and promptly lets the sphere of liquid drop into the dirt of the pot.]

[Oh crap. ;; Damian pulls the marker out and grimaces] Yeah.

... Why were you yelling? [folds arms - he certainly doesn't seem intimidated by Grell, at the least.] There was a hose. Right next to you.

XD

[WELL Katara definitely hadn't expected such an... extreme reaction. Her eyes are wide as the woman takes her hands, and she slips on a slightly forced smile.]

It was nothing, really-- I just bent some water from the air to water your plant.

[There's a blank expression, until Katara realizes that the woman doesn't understand.]

Oh, no, I don't mean physically bending like metal-- I'm a waterbender. When we say that we can 'bend' the elements, we mean that we can manipulate it under our control.

... No, probably not. [Ding ding ding! We have a winner.]

And I'm sure I could catch every one of them. [Not intimidated in the least! Grell's going to have to try a lot harder when this kid's boss is Batman.]

Point is, do you like being overdramatic? I'd save that for the school play.

[ Grell is so loud that it'd take a miracle for Irvine to not hear it from across the Quad. So loud, in fact, that he comes over to investigate and sees Grell shouting for none other than . . . ]

Water?

[ Hyne, is Grell fast or what? ]

Managing a plant, eh?

[ He's resigned to the fact that his hat will constantly be toyed with in the presence of his roommate (not that that's a bad thing, he's only unused to people touching it often), so Irvine just responds to the very passionate request. ]

Sure. Hand me the watering can and I'll fill it up.

Garden in a Garden's kinda redundant. Seems like you're dedicated to keeping your plant healthy, though.

[ Watering can in hand, he turns. The trip should be over in a jiffy. ]

Anyway, I'll go and fill this up.

[facepalm] ... You were, m'am. [He remembered his manners. Finally.]
