ACTION, OPEN TO ANYONE
VOICE, LOCKED TO KATARA
Zuko hadn't been to work in a while. He took a temporary leave of absence following Weiss's kidnapping and subsequent rescue, determined to keep a watchful eye on her in case Torchwick was foolish enough to go after her again. But time had passed and Torchwick had yet to make a move, and Weiss had recovered enough that he felt comfortable with backing off a little. (Besides, he was sure she knew that he had essentially spent the past month tailing her.) And while the dragon problem in Fayren wasn't as much of a dilemma as it had been, it was still something that required attention.
Which was why the Deputy Guardian could be found in various parts of Fayren throughout the day, from the streets of the city itself to the more mountainous and forested areas where the dragons tended to dwell. It was important to ensure that the native populations remained unharmed and those human-like dragons that had seen to capturing virgins were eradicated.
VOICE, LOCKED TO KATARA
You said we were supposed to be friends now, that you forgave me for what I did in Ba Sing Se and, you know, everything else? If that's true, then I would like to ask you for a favor.
[ awkward... ]

That's why I was in her room that day -- when you first got here. I was keeping an eye on her to make sure he didn't try and come after her again.
voice | locked
People get kidnapped here? [She's not going to ask about things that guy did, at least not right now. It leaves her kind of curious, but she has priorities here.]
I'd be glad to take a look! There's always something I can do, a lot usually even... [wow, she looks really determined. You don't to know all the reasons why.] It might take a few times since she's had it for a while, but I'll do my best to heal it completely as soon as I can.
[And you're getting a tiny smile at that last part because it reminds her of a certain Revenge Journey back home. But anything she'd say to that would just sound weird, so she just -- won't say anything. Just that genuine, heartfelt smile. There you go. WELL, EXCEPT THIS IS VOICE SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT, SO OOOOOOOOPS, she tried.]
voice | locked
[ he can't see her determination, but he can hear it in her voice. his own is laced with honest gratitude. ]
Thank you, Katara.
[ there's an awkward pause on his end while she's smiling that unseen smile. ]
You work for her, so finding her shouldn't be a problem. Things would probably get messy if I was there.
voice | locked
[Though she's still glad that she didn't go for Security positions, she can keep her waterbending skills as a secret ace weapon thing and people won't expect her to be able to fight if she ever gets into dangerous situations.]
You're welcome, it's not a problem really. Anyone would do it if they could.
[orz but speaking of she working for Weiss...]
Yeah, it's easy for me to find her and you really should stay away. I -- feel kind of bad [and embarrassed] for not noticing it, but thank you for letting me know. She'll be fine, Zuko, I promise.
voice | locked
[ even me goes unsaid. zuko may or may not be a touch hurt that she kept how badly her hand was hurt from even him. ]

[ should've noticed that she was missing sooner, but he'd been so wrapped up in work dealing with the dragon situation in fayren that he hadn't noticed something was up until ruby had pointed it out to him. some boyfriend he was. ]
voice | locked
[Does he want to talk? Because she's listening, even if he doesn't exactly want to but you know, if he still needs to.]
voice | locked
She was gone for a week, and I didn't even notice, because I was too busy dealing with political matters in Fayren.
voice | locked
Look, I'm not going to say 'a week is nothing' or something like that, but we all know how a week can go fast when people are busy. Besides you had political matters and stuff to do there and Weiss is running a company, that I imagine keeps her busy among other things. We all need some time on our own sometimes, we just can't know if something happens during that time.
voice | locked
I would've noticed if I'd just stuck to making tea.
[ there's a thud and the sound of something scraping against the floor as he kicks his desk. ]
voice | locked
...You can't know that for sure.
[She jumps a little when she hears the sounds.]
What are you doing?
