[action; locked to sweetness and snoozles]

[ooc; This takes place some time after this log.]

[Zuko's on the prowl. He believes there's only one person who can help him with his current predicament. She's motherly and caring and passionate. Yeah - he's definitely sure that she can help him.

Watch out, Katara, he's on the search for you! And he has picture evidence!

His first stop is to the girl's 1F dormitory and after that, the Library, and after that the Quad. He's hoping she'll be in her room relaxing or something after their Friday classes. Or maybe his best bet would be to check the Cafeteria...

Either way. He's turning onto the main level dormitory, not knowing that her room is actually on the 2F.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Second floor, right?

Yup. [Sokka finishes off the last of his hot dog and licks his thumb.] Over there, around the corner. You know, in my day, I've been known to be a pretty great problem-solver...

Is that right? [Zuko distractedly answers, leaving the dormitories with (of course) Sokka following no doubt.

Off to the elevators he takes them! To the 2F girl dormitories! On a mission!]

[Then Sokka is on a mission too, because hey. That's what friends do! He keeps in step.]

So you're really not going to tell me?

[Zuko waits until they reach the elevator to dig out the picture (http://i52.tinypic.com/4hxu9s.png). He hesitates for a moment, then hands it to Sokka, the paper crumpled.]

I uh. I went into town earlier, and I found six of them. In a box.

[The elevator dings and the doors open.]

You know what it is...?

[Sokka looks over the picture, stepping out onto the floor.] You're a terrible artist. [He hands the paper back to Zuko and heads towards Katara's room.] Kinda looks like a catbird. Why do you care, anyway? Not like we have to hunt food here. The hotdogs are amazing.

[Bites back the retort about his poor artist skills and snatches the paper out of Sokka's hands with a scowl. Not everyone can be a pro-artist like you Sokka.

Zuko follows him.]

The hotdogs are disgusting. And this isn't about food-- is that all you ever think about?!

I care because they're small and were helpless, alright? And it wasn't right that they were trapped in a box in the lake.

Do you think that's right?

Hey, food is important. Not all of us got served at the snap of royal fingers, okay? [Sokka crosses his arms over his chest as they walk... but he does glance at Zuko for the rest of the story.]

Of course I don't. You're really just warm and fuzzy under all that jerky exterior, aren't you? I knew it.

[Zuko looks reaaaaaaallllly displeased. He just glares.]

I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway. Your sister-- which is her room again?

So fluffy. So cuddly. [Sokka grinned as he stopped in front of a door and knocked.] Zuko the Softie. Mr Zukikins.

I'm going to hit you in a few minutes if you don't shut up... [Grumble, growl, mumble, grrrrrrrr.]

Zuuuuuuzuuuuuuuukinsssss....

What did I just SAY--! [Zuko grits his teeth and a fire dagger bursts to life from a clenched fist; he looks ready to throw Sokka to the ground and scalp the poor guy.]

THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HIT ME PUT THE FIRE AWAY! [And Sokka--

well, Sokka throws the contents of his remaining drink from lunch at Zuko. Because. Yeah.]

[Said drink splashes all over his face, drips off onto his chest.

Well that's surprising. MORE than surprising.

Zuko stares at him and doesn't move a muscle, he's that surprised. WHO THE HELL THROWS THEIR DRINK ON SOMEONE--

But it doesn't take long-- seconds really-- before he's heating his body temperature up and the liquid dries out on his skin and somewhat on his clothing; Zuko just glowers.

That's right. Glowers.

And readies a well-deserved, fireless punch, arm pulling back-- OPENTHEDOOROPENTHEDOOROPENTHEDOOR--]

I'M SORRY IT WAS A REFLEX--!![Sokka might make a high pitched sound, not so manly, but he ducks as Zuko swings because he likes his face, okay? he likes his face a lot, and Piandao hammered a good reflex or three into the kid before setting him loose.]

[Katara had been taking a light nap, hence the delay in answering the knocks. The ruckus was growing louder and louder though, to the point where it managed to finally wake her and catch her attention. It's in that moment that Katara chooses to open the door. When the hallway is revealed to her, the first thing she sees is a fist sailing straight for her--

Reflex kicks in, and Katara ducks. She's about to roll back into her room and slide the door shut when she chances a glance upwards, and sees a furious Zuko looming over her. Was he trying to pick a fight?

She immediately straightens, backing into her room slightly to give her some space. She then shifts into a defensive stance, hands held up in front of her.]

Zuko, what are you doing!

Edited 2010-09-14 16:11 (UTC)

[Oh shit--

Zuko's immediate reaction to seeing her with her hands up and her stance a defensive one was to mirror it. His infuriated expression relaxed then as he remembers why he was looking for the waterbender in the first place.

He throws a glare down at Sokka and looks back up at her.]

I was looking for you!

Your brother was trying to be antagonizing and threw his drink at me.

[The damp stains are still there on the upper part of his Garden hoodie.]

[Sokka's glad that his sister has good reflexes, because he would have felt pretty bad if Zuko had punched her. He's still crouched, hands in a manly pose over his head. He glances from one to the other before jumping up--] I was NOT! You had fire! IT WAS A REFLEX!

[Sokka glances back at his sister.] Did you know that Zuko has a warm and fluffy chewy center?

[At the mention of her brother, Katara looks past the door frame to see Sokka cowering off to the side. But his sudden burst of words had Katara glaring at Zuko all over again.]

You were firebending at Sokka?!

[She's just about to lift her hand to swipe at the air to draw out some water when Sokka's unexpected question catches her off guard. Lowering her stance, she crosses her arms as she quirks a brow.]

Zuko? Fluffy center? What are you talking about?

[Sighing, out comes the picture (http://i52.tinypic.com/4hxu9s.png). Zuko holds it out to Katara.]

He was getting on my nerves and I guess I almost lost my temper.

Like I said - he was antagonizing me.

Anyways.

You're uh motherly, right? I might... need your help...

Do you know what this is?

[Sokka leans over Katara's shoulder.] It looks a little like a catbird, but it's hard to tell from Zuko's drawing. It might be a cantaloupe.

[Katara just stares at the drawing. She's trying her best to make out what it is, really, she is, but the first thing that comes to mind:]

Is that... an otter penguin?

[He lets out an aggravated growl and snatches the picture out of her hands, shoving it into his pocket.]

You know what - forget it.

I'll just go back into town where I found them and ask around.

[Bye guys. He's on a mission.

Zuko turns and heads for the elevator, muttering to himself.]

[Otter penguins?!] Wait, Zuko! You have otter penguins?!
