[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.]

[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?

Share my bed with animals? [Zuko looks a little horrified at the suggestion. Until one of the kittens latches onto the front of his hoodie and begins to climb. He tries not to squirm, pulling the thing away and perching it up on his shoulder, but it wants to keep moving, a tiny claw cutting along the side of his neck in its attempt to get to the hood.]

OW-- knock it offgraack--

[Kitten in the hood: success. Which only tugs his collar back to dig into his throat, taking him by surprise.

Shoving the other kitten into the front pocket of his hoodie (world, meet Pocket) who seems content to snuggle in the warmth, the tips of its ears peeking out; Zuko pulls lightly on his collar to hold it away from his throat.]

It just tried to kill me! They're staying in the box.

[Sokka rolls his eyes at Zuko, what a girl.

Er. In the nicest way possible, of course.

He piles the two in his arms into Katara's hands with Boots and then tries to dislodge the guy on his shoulder, to which he gets claws in skin and a highly affront mewl. Tug, mewl. Tug, mewl.] Fine. Stay there, mister stuffy britches. [Because, yeah. He doesn't really care. And the notcatbird hunkers down and starts purring its head off, which, honestly, Sokka's never asking it to move again.]

[Katara rolls her eyes at Zuko's dismayed cries.]

Don't be so dramatic! They're not trying to kill you-- they just want to play! And they can't stay in the box. They need to sleep in something comfortable! Isn't that right, Boots?

[She's about to nuzzle Boots with her cheek when Sokka plops the two kittens into her arms. More kittens! Katara tries to juggle them all in her hold-- the two that are awake try to crawl up her chest (ow), one latching onto one of her hair loopies with her teeth, tugging.]

Ow! No, you can't eat my hair loopies!

[But it doesn't listen, paws pulling and teeth chewing.]

Uh... a little help here?

[Zuko rolls his eyes and stays where he is, arms folding over his chest. The kitten in his hood's on the move again, trying to climb out and so he reaches back to try and help, pulling it out. It latches onto the front of his hoodie and Zuko cups it in a hand to hold it there.

Pocket was content in the pocket it was snuggled in.]

Well?

[He looks to Sokka then. Help your sister, bro!]

[What a jerk, Zuko.

Sokka untangles the notcatbird from Katara's shoulder and hair (probably painfully) and moves it to Zuko, shoving the ball of fluff into the hoodie pocket along with... Pocket. Then he grabs the OTHER notcatbird from Katara's chest (hey brothers can do that) and that one goes back into the box.

Stuffy pants is still purring on his shoulder.]

Well, what? What are we supposed to do with them? You know. Other than me keeping this guy. [Sokka pets the purring notcatbird's head fondly.]

[Katara is linefacing at you, Sokka.]

You're going to keep one of them? [Because come on, Katara already mothers Sokka-- she has a feeling she'll end up taking care of the kitten herself. Not that she minds or anything-- they're so cute!]

Anyways, we need to figure out what they eat. And it'd be nice if we knew what to call them, as well.

Are you sure that's wise...? [Looks between Katara and Sokka. The question's mostly directed at Sokka because, well, who knows if the guy can really take care of himself.

Thennnnnnn he looks back at Katara.]

I was just going to go back into the town and ask around.

I am insulted. [So insulted! And that's all he'll say on the matter because HELLO, he took care of Hawky, didn't he? Mr Stuffypants on his shoulder mewls in obvious agreement and then bites his ear and Sokka cringes.]

Edited 2010-09-22 11:59 (UTC)

You and that little guy seem to be getting along just fine. [Yup, Katara saw that little bite and Sokka's cringe. He's gonna have fun taking care of that creature.

She then directs her attention back to Zuko.]

That's a good idea. But... you might not want to take that picture you drew. It doesn't really look like them.

[Sends her a scowl.]

Like you can do any better.

I could do better but that's not the point. [It was obvious Time For A Plan before Zuko and Katara started biting each other's heads off. Couldn't they all just get along?] Katara, you stay here and make sure the things don't, uh, I dunno. Eat each other. Zuko, you come with me. We'll bring Mr Stuffypants.

[He points at Zuko's hoodie.] But maybe you should put the strays back in the box.

Okay-- but if you're going to bring that animal out with you, make sure the faculty doesn't catch you! We're not supposed to have pets here.

[She moves to sit down and deposit the creatures on the ground to free her arms. Boots seems to have woken up in the process, and when the three of them begin to roam, Katara makes a game of trying to keep them blocked into a small area by cutting off their path with her hands.]

[Zuko sighs and goes to set the two of his kittens down with Katara's, giving Sokka a hard look.] Your sister's right. Keep it quiet and out of sight- who knows what they'll do if they catch us with these things.

I am so overwhelmed by the faith that my friends put in me. Of course I'll hide it! [Friends, plural, including Zuko. He's definitely getting better, right?

Sokka works the notcatbird off his shoulder and tucks in his uniform undershirt before dropping it in against his chest. He pets the tiny bulge near his side.] Good to go!

Right.

[Zuko nods and heads for the door, throwing a quick look back over his shoulder to where Katara's playing with the kittens. Then he steps out into the hallway and begins making his way for the entrance of the dormitories.]

Let's go-! [Calls back to Sokka, stillllllllll walking.]
