[Closed to Zuko ]…Look, it was a lot warmer in the fire nation than it is here. We really should get something with sleeves.
[Maybe a weak argument to pose to the grumpy fire bender trailing behind her after waking him up from a long night, but she had to keep adding to the list to…sort of justify her actions. He hadn’t been all too keen on her waking him up so early to go shopping, but she didn’t want to go alone, and… well. Now that they had finally found a place to stay- a nice place to stay, thanks to Zuko’s keen eye- they really did need to get some shopping done. It didn’t seem all that fair for her to take over the shared space.
Not that she really expected a boy to have a lot of opinions on the matter.]Besides, I don’t want to just keep washing the same clothes over and over again… They won’t last
that long.
[Sure, she had fixed his tunic as best she could given the situation, but Azula had really done a number on it, and as hard as she tried, she was sure it was going to be impossible to get the smokey smell out of her own traditional blues…
Plus it was… kind of weird to be in such close quarters without much else to wear while she did her laundry.
She turned a corner, looking down the line of shops with piqued curiosity. Sure, it was still a bit cool (cold) out, even for someone who had grown up in the snow, but it was a nice enough day (except the rain). Surely this wouldn’t be an awful outing….]------
A) Mid-Day (Shopping! OTA)They’re visiting a variety of shops in search of clothes and home-wares to fill their new space. While Zuko might not be entirely thrilled with the whole ordeal, Katara’s as curious as ever as she checks out the different styles and unfamiliar objects in the stores.
(Say hello?)

B) Dinner (Zuko/Katara- OTA!)Later in the evening, one might find the two seated at the end of a long table near the window of one of the local restaurants in Genessia, shopping bags tucked against the wall and settled about their feet.
It’s been a successful shopping day, and Katara’s even sporting one of her new outfits. ‘Skinny jeans’, the woman had called them, a comfy looking sweater to fight off the chill, and a pair of flats to replace her tired old shoes. It felt odd, not wearing her traditional blues after all this time, but… there was simply something empowering about a fresh change of clothes and trying something new.
It also looks like trying something new is their only option for dinner tonight, as she pours over the menu.
“…what the heck is a cheeseburger?”
(Feel free to join their table!)

C) Fayren, Ivory Tower- Katara onlyDespite working far later than she had expected to today, Katara’s in fairly high spirits as she leaves for the day, if a little tired. She’s learning quite a lot at her new job; not only is she able to heal those she’s assigned to with her water bending, but now she’s properly being taught traditional medicines as well. It’s exciting, but… she’s definitely walking a little slower than usual as she heads home alone, despite the darkness and the clouds threatening to burst.
That in itself is a bit thrilling, though.
She’s got her waterskin hidden below her new coat. She’ll be safe enough, right?
