[Voice // Filtered to Katara (mid-morning)]
I think now's enough time, don't you think?
[Action]
[And during the bulk of the day...! Masaomi's forgone most of his training for today other than some things on his wrists. On his left wrist (the one that until very recently was in a cast) has a weighted bracelet on, one kilo. That way, he can work it without switching himself up too much. On his right wrist is still Katara's bracelet. He's also still rocking the Bradstache. BuT more importantly!
...He's here to flirt with girls. He hasn't done it in a while, he's in just the sort of mood where he wants to do it again. So if you're in town and a pretty girl, he's liable to go and flirt with you. If you're a dude, well then you can witness him doing it. React to him, stand there to be reacted to? There's a lot of ways you can roll this]
[Voice // Filtered to Gold and Silver (evening)]
Hey guys, let's go play some Mario Party. [Assumption being he told Shikamaru already]

[ action ]
Hah. He'll never stop being a burden to her. ...But it's not a burden. It's not a burden to help a friend. It's not a burden to help someone she likes, just like it's not a burden for him to try to protect her as a beloved. He has to believe that. He's worth that much.
...But he's giving her a hassle now. Exhale.]
I mean yes. I am, a little better.
[And he holds up the left wrist with the weight on it still. He needs to pull it off]
[ action ]
Stand up straight, if you can.
[ action ]
[ action ]
Come on, lean on me. We're not risking you falling again.
[She saw that lurch.]
Let's get out of the river.
[ action ]
Let's get out of the river indeed. He walks, knowing she'll be in sync]
[ action ]
Oh well, out of the river they go, hopefully without any further problems.]
You can just sit on the bank for a bit to get some strength back.
[ action ]
...He should let Linda out, apologize. But that can wait]
Yes, Doctor.
[He's not teasing. He's sincere.]
[ action ]
Didn't I ask you to stop causing me so much trouble?
Something sweet turned slightly sour - how Luceti of it.]
That's better.
[She steps out of the bank and bends the water off herself. Ugh, she wants a shower now, just having witnessed all that - and river water was never the cleanest but ew. And she laughs at herself a little - more evidence of how this place had spoiled her.]
[ action ]
[He's still talking. He stands there, groaning. He grits his teeth and then goes to touch her bracelet on his wrist. No. Hold on. Exhale]
This is the last time I do something I know will probably hurt you.
[It's for you own good.
He can't do it. He can't do this anymore]
[ action ]
Does that mean he's done, he won't do this again? Or does that mean he has something more that he wants to say, some other way to hurt her, and he wants to do it now, after all this?
Her uncertainty and wariness is reflected in her gaze.]
[ action ]
[And I am so stupid.]
I'm sorry.
[I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had to. It had to be now. It had to be before you stopped thinking.]
[ action ] 1/2
She exhales, and some of the tension leaves her body.]
I accept your apology.
[ action ]
And I wouldn't go that far. You weren't wrong about a lot of the things that you said. Some of them were - off base, and some of them I need to check out further, but I also accept the fact that you thought you were trying to help and you didn't know how much you were going to hurt me.
[And she is still hurting. Her heart is throbbing with it.]
I hope it is the last time. But I don't want you to be afraid to talk to me about anything either. Just take into account that while you do know me, there are things you don't know, and that I have reasons for doing what I do, and we should be all right.
[ action ]
I had to do this now. If- [...If anyone else showed up. If one of her children showed up. then it would probably be too late. But she's too wounded to understand his justification. He licks his lips. His mouth still tastes gross.] I'm sorry.
[ action ]
Then what, exactly, were you hoping to accomplish here? What were your reasons for why this had to be now?
[ action ]
You don't think, not like how I do, Katara. [He's guessing in this next part... but no, he knows this must be true] You're one of the least introspective people I know. I had to make you think.
[ action ]
And wanted to make me think about what, exactly?
[How you felt I was wasting my life?]
[ action ]
But. But you're not happy. This has told me. [...] It'd be unreasonable to expect you to be right now. I know. But I wanted you to think about how to get happy. Get happy with Aang-kun, get happy with a more balanced structuring of that family of yours, get happy with something I can't imagine, I don't care what.
I wanted you to think.
[And it's selfish. It might just be selfish. And he feels weak again. He crouches down]
[ action ]
And somehow, it makes her feel a little better - a little lighter - that this had been his reason. That maybe it was something she could think about, if two of her most important people were willing to go after her like this in order to get her to consider it. If even Ikki had wanted her to go have more fun...]
All right. [That's said lightly, with acceptance in her tone.] All right. I'll try and think about it.
[ action ]
Thank you.
[ action ]
Go get yourself cleaned up.
[You smell. D8]
[ action ]
And shave... and apologize to Linda.
[...Not looking forward to that last one. At all really]
[ action ]
Right. Good luck with that.
[A small smile, though she's not sure what he needs to apologize for, if Linda's upset that needs to be dealt with.]
I'll - see you around.
[ action ]
I'll be seeing you later.
[ action ]
