Who: Katara and everyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: On the SS Blue Fish.
When: Shortly after Sokka's post.

[ it probably won't be hard to recognize the look of a long-suffering sibling on katara's face when the video feed starts. to most, it will probably read as about 80% exasperated, 15% apologetic, and maybe 5% amused. ]

I figured this was easier than messaging every single person who was suckered into responding to my brother's broadcast: Sokka's being dramatic, the Blue Fish doesn't need a pity cook, and we are going to miss Kairi, not the food she made.

[ it's only very mild grumping. finally, she'll also concede: ] Thank you to everyone who offered food or help, though. Everyone has each others' backs here... it's a pretty wonderful thing.

[ and so much if it feels so disingenuous, just because she really barely knew kairi, but -- ]

It's not asking for help that bothered me. Just the way they're doing it. I don't know. Just - pretend I never said anything.

I know. [She sighs.] Maybe it did seem a little... insensitive, but trust me, it is in no way a reflection of how they feel about Kairi. People handle loss in different ways.

[She reaches out and rests a comforting hand on Katara's shoulder.]

If you don't want to talk about it anymore, I understand, but... if you do want to talk, I'm always here to listen.

[ katara sighs, almost wincing when beverly's hand comes to rest on her shoulder, before she seems to deflate a little bit. she glances over at the other woman, expression quiet and embarrassed and grateful all at once. ]

Thanks. I appreciate it a lot. And - I probably will, later. I've just got some things I need to sort out first, I think.

[Beverly sees the wince, so doesn't leave her hand there very long.]

Of course. In the meantime, perhaps we better figure out some sort of plan of attack for the menu this week?
