[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.]

[Into the elevator they go! She pushes the button for the first floor before leaning against the back of the small compartment.]

So what exactly do you need my help for?

You deserved it!

[Zuko folds his arms over his chest and frowns at Sokka, then at Katara.]

You are a girl, right?

I did not!

And that's kinda insulting, don't you think? Of course she's a girl, she's got--

Well. Uh. The hair loopies. [Ahem.]

[You get a quirked brow, Sokka.]

That's not really the best thing to go by-- not all girls have hair loopies. And of course I'm a girl, if you haven't noticed I wear the girls' uniform! [And Zuko gets a pointed look at that. Yes, she hasn't forgotten the whole undershirt deal.]

What does that have to do with me helping you?

How could I forget... You aren't wearing an undershirt. [Mutter mutter, which no doubt Sokka can hear.]

And hair loopies don't count. She's right. [To Sokka.

And then he sighs.]

You'll see.

[Ding! Main floor. Zuko steps out and begins to lead them to his wing of the male dorms.]

[Sokka trails behind, frowning VERY HARD.] ... what do you mean, she wasn't wearing an undershirt?

Katara?

[She's walking beside Sokka now, but oh my! Aren't the nonexistent wall decorations just fascinating?]

I don't know what he's talking about.

Uh. [Shit.] Nothing. It's nothing.

[Zuko then falls silent. Then:] So. Uh, this place is really something...

Yeah.

[Sokka looks from one to the other. One. To. The other. There is something he's missing here, he's sure of it. What's with all this undershirt stuff? And Katara definitely looks guilty.

He elbows her lightly.] I'm missing something.

[The nudge draws her attention, and she looks over at Sokka. Then there's a small pout.]

I didn't do anything. Ask Zuko!

Don't go and pin this on just me! [Whirls on her and glares. Then he turns back the dorm room and irritably pushes his keycard through the lock. The door slides open and he stalks into the room only to stop dead in his tracks.

The box is laying on its side. The furballs are nowhere that he can see.]

... This isn't good.

Look I know there's something... going... is that where the otter pengiuns were?

[She's just about to yell at Zuko some more when the overturned box distracts her. She glances around, eyes scanning the common area.]

Oh no! Where are they?

I don't know.

[He moves further into the room to crouch down at the box, throwing over his shoulder:] If you really want to protect your sister's virtue - tell her to wear an undershirt.

[His voice probably causes some of the kittens to make noise, mewing as soon as they hear him. The first one comes wobbling out. Fluffy and smokey gray with black paws and darker gray fur around bright blue eyes and its nose and mouth.

Zuko leans forward once its close enough, carefully picking it up.]

So. Still think it's an otter penguin? [Turns to face the two Water Tribe members, holding it out in both hands at them.]

PROTECT HER--

LOOK AT IT!! [Sokka swoops down and snatches the little thing from Zuko's hands. It's soft! And warm! And ohsoadoarblehecouldnevereatit!

He presses it to his face.] Aw lookit you little thing, you're not an otter pengiun, are you? No you're a cute little fluffy catbird without wings!

[Katara was about to just smack Zuko in the back of his head, but she immediately stops at the sight of the creature. Katara's eyes widen, and she lets out a small breath.]

Oh...

[lakjfsajfskjhf ADORABLE. She's trying her best not to melt on the spot, but that doesn't work so well. She's right by Sokka now, face leaned forward with a silly smile as she reaches out and gently pets the top of it's head with a finger.]

You're adorable! [And distractedly to Zuko,] What's its name?

[Zuko blinks, hands empty. He lets his arms drop to his sides, staring at the two as they googoogaga over the fluffy creature, surprised by their reactions.]

Uh... Boots?

[Shrugs a shoulder but frowns to himself when he hears the kitten making noise and squirming against Sokka. Right. Okay. Zuko then turns and goes off to find the other five.]

[Yes, well. An abundance of Sokka not being manly today, then, because he is cooing over the fluffy thing and generally threatening to snuzzle it to within an inch of it's life.

Until he sees Zuko crawling around.] More?!

[Boots is shoved at Katara and he goes to help.]

Well that's a creative name.

[She rolls her eyes. And suddenly Katara has a handful of kitten. She blinks down at the creature, and in return the creature gazes up at her with large, large eyes.]

It's so small! [She can't help but marvel, cooing over the tiny tiny creature.]

[ooc; my bad my bad on descriptions BOOTS (http://i55.tinypic.com/10e36gh.jpg)! not gray but that l;ljlkjad;;]

[Zuko ignores her and glances at Sokka.] One's all black. Good luck finding it.

HEY. YOU CAN COME OUT NOW. [He then calls out, more mewing coming from the two dorm rooms.]

Yeah, because calling for them--

[Oh, well nevermind. Sokka gives Zuko a weird look (maybe he's a flightless catbird whisperer?) and heads off to the room that's empty to scrounge around.

One...

Two...

THERE ARE THREE!

And he trots back out into the main room with an armload of wiggling, mewling cute.] LOOK AT THEM!

[Katara lights up even further when Sokka pops back into the common room with an armful of kittens.]

Oh! They're all different colors! They're so cute!

[She's still cuddling with Boots, stroking the fur and making unintelligible cooing noises. She can't help it, she's motherly!]

[Exactly the reason for why Zuko had chosen to find her in the first place. He comes out of his room with two more in his arms and is relieved to see that they're all together again.]

Okay. Uh. What do I do with them?

[Yes, Katara. He's looking directly at you.]

[Hey--which part of Sokka's cooing wasn't motherly? That's discrimination! Lucky for you Sokka's pretty much got his hands full, literally. The one notcatbird in particular keeps trying to climb up his shirt, leaving cute little holes every time Sokka has to pry him off. Finally he just lets him climb. The notcatbird seems to decide that he likes the altitude of a shoulder and sets to work cleaning Sokka's ear.]

Well...

[Katara looks contemplative, a finger gently stroking Boots' back as she thinks. The creature seems to have falling asleep in her arms.]

You need to get something they can sleep in-- they can't stay in that box forever. Or, you could let them sleep in bed with you?
