[...Well that was a loud noise. Linda, who is still in the room shoots bolt up right and actually charges her cheeks in surprise before see-ing...

Katara? That's weird.

Meanwhile in the bathroom there is water running]

[Sorry, strange person - your sheets are so coming up with Katara as she scrambles into a sitting position. Great, and she'd even taken off her waterskin to jump in - fortunately she still has the bracelet on that Allen gave her, and of course there's the spirit water on the cord around her neck that's tucked safely into her bindings, but--

Okay, that's a sound.

She glances over, apologizing.]

I'm sorry! I don't know what-- Linda?

[...you have got to be kidding.]

[Water running, water running, and then it stops. He'll be back soon.

But meanwhile Linda cheerily hops on over to Katara on the bed. Key what's up why are you here?]

[She stares, horrified, at the Pokemon for a moment.

This can not be happening.

And then she moves.]

Hey, Linda - it's some strange experiment. Could you let Masaomi know not to come in for a second?

[She sits up, drops the sheet, and starts to swing out of bed.

Because it was better that he catch her standing in her bindings and pants than it was he catch her lying in his bed. It was better that he caught her standing like she had nothing to be ashamed of then wrapping his sheets around her like she was - aware of how awkward this was or something.]

I'm going to borrow one of his shirts.

[This can not be happening, this can not be happening, this is--]

(--sick! I can not believe this.) [And then the images start above her head, drowning out the words.] (A thunderstorm; a ship tossed at sea; yellow, flashing like lightning)

[...She could. Okay, she nods and then leaps to the floor to scurry out the door and give pre-warning to her trainer to not come in there. However, in doing that, Masaomi is already out of the bathroom (in shorts and a tank top) to go back in his room and properly dress. Him and Linda are having a hurried discussion outside of his door before he groans and then just presses on in-

...And then Linda hits him with a Fake Out, which causes him to flinch, stumble, and land on his fake on the floor. At least he can't see Katara now for a moment, and Linda looks well pleased for it as she hops back in the room on top of him]

[It's taken Katara a little bit to find where her boy keeps all his shirts, and she's moved about in a rush. So the bed is still rumpled and unmade, the draws and closet doors are all opened, and she is just shrugging on a T-Shirt that is way too big for her as the door opens, she hears the Fake Out, and Masaomi lands face-first on the floor.

Her head clears the T-Shirt just in time for her to see Linda hop on top of Masaomi.

His pain barely registers in comparison to her relief. Rare words light up in her thoughts, colored pink with affection:]

(Best Pokemon ever.)

Thanks, Linda. I owe you an apple.

[Her tone is warm and wry. And let's give that T-Shirt another tug down. Oversized as it is, it still doesn't manage to cover much more than the tops of her thighs, and she's not used to going around in what amounts to just... pants.]

That was so... so incredibly--

[...Wait Katara? He sits up, and Linda would fly into the wall but she catches herself with a Magnet Rise and floats to the ground. Puffing out her cheeks. But his eyes widen a bit, looking up at her]

Katara.

[She shrugs, a little abashed.]

Hi?

[...she should really offer another explanation, but she's kind of waiting for that look to fade off his face.]

[the look lasts only a bit longer and then he smiles a bit warmly, in spite of himself glancing at her legs before going back up to her face. He's on the ground, okay, it's the level]

Fancy seeing you here.

[At least they aren't tight pants.

She tugs his shirt down a little with one hand at that appraisal.]

I started teleporting, apparently.

[And as her bare toes attest, she wasn't exactly prepared for it.]

Sorry to intrude.

No, no. It's fine. [He flaps his.. ugh his wings are out. Stupid neon pink things. Linda gets into his lap]

Well, I'll just... borrow some socks, or ask one of the girls if I can borrow some shoes and get going.

[Note: She is not asking if she can keep borrowing your shirt. You're not getting that back right now. Above her, the thought bubble pops up again.]

(Sandstorm, whirling around in circles)

Uh...huh. [...He really shouldn't smirk right now, but he can't help it, on some level, given the way this is going]

(The color red, flashing; water parting)

So... you can just stand up and let me out now.

[Any time. Really.

Also, stop looking at her like that.]

I notice you not asking about my shirt. [As he gets on his knees and then finally stands]

(Red clothing, hanging on a clothes line, a sleeping attendant.)

[She tugs on the shirt again before forcing her hand to her side and straightening her posture.]

Because I'm (stealing) borrowing it. I'll give it back tomorrow.

[And no, it hasn't occurred to her what Ino will say if she goes knocking on her door dressed like that.]

Edited 2012-05-31 01:50 (UTC)

[His eyes narrow. She's got that look again. And then she shakes his head]

Ah, that's okay.

[...what's with that look?]

...or if that bothers you, I could ask Shikamaru if I could borrow one of his?

(An image of her walking out of the building in just her bindings and pants, with a giant X over it)

[Of note: since the image is Katara's mental view of herself, it reflects a certain... plainness - she herself is more grey than any other color.]

[He hums, looking at that thought bubble and then shakes his head. ] No, I guess it doesn't bother me.

[Katara follows his gaze up...]

(???; blaring red)

(Oh, you've got to be kidding me.)

(Flashing embarrassing images; practicing outside, talking with Roku, thought bubbles over their heads - she's younger here; Zuko; a waterfall - a very deliberate waterfall)

[She looks back at him.]

Thanks.

Though you know, things must have been awkward for you. I actually came to visit you earlier and saw Aang-kun.

[And he was... another version of you. Weird]

(Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall--bindings, waterfall--)

Things were less awkward before I started teleporting.

[She shifts a little, the rumpled bed clearly behind her.

Can we not talk about this? I just want to go get my stuff.

Also, you should be wearing more clothes.]

Hopefully it won't last too long.

Yeah, one hopes not. I can see where that would be pretty awkward. [...He doesn't want to let her leave, but you know given the circumstances, he steps aside for her. She's a tad disappointed, but given the shocking circumstances--

And then there's no real noise but the two of them are displaced again. Specifically, and without Linda, they end up at the edge of a small lake/pond. Masaomi blinks rapidly, looking around with slight alarm and- oh. It's not either of the lakes in the forest proper, it's the small one in the fertile valley Shikamaru found and Rikumaru later lead him to. So they're... in the middle of the mountain range. Oh.]
