Kind of a weird thing to visit if you're not here to see him, too.

[ it's not really challenging, but her eyebrows have gone slightly up. ]

I'm a friend of his. Katara. I knew you in Adstring, too. I mean, not you-you-- a version of you.

[eyeforaneye]

Ah. So you're another one of those.

[ He's lost count of how many it is by now, but his attention soon lowers back down to the sword he's working on. ] I'm here to occupy an empty dark room with comfortable furniture, which should be easy to understand. I don't know where he is if you're looking for him, but I'd assume in his other room.

[kyasdaughter]

[ katara steps to the side, leaning slightly back against the wall as she considers him. ]

You don't have your own room?

[ this is the most inexplicable thing to happen to her this week. ]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Wait until you see what's happened to your blender. ]

I have a room. [ ... yeah. Like this is totally normal. ] Pass me that cloth on the desk.

[kyasdaughter]

[ katara has literally never used a blender in her life. she leans forward to grab the cloth on the desk, inspecting it before actually passing it over. ]

So you're waiting for Zuko.

[ nothing makes sense anymore ]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Good. He reaches out to take it with his right hand, slightly annoyed by how much slower only having one makes things but he's managing. ]

No. I have said this three times now. I'm using his furniture.

[kyasdaughter]

[ it's definitely weird to see that, too, but she doesn't gawk or stare. instead, she just watches him use the rag. ]

Sorry, I guess I'm just not... getting it. [ her eyes tick back up to his face. ] Did you ask him or stage an invasion?

[eyeforaneye]

Occupying an empty room without asking for permission isn't an 'invasion'.

[ So. The second one. ] Are you worried about his privacy? [ It's cool, he already went through all the drawers. He doesn't need to do it again. ]

[kyasdaughter]

It is when it belongs to someone else. He does kind of have his name on the door.

[ she wrinkles his nose a little at his question. ]

And what privacy? If what they say is true, millions of people are watching us all the time anyway.

[ oh, sasuke. you're just like she remembered. ]

[eyeforaneye]

Which is my point. There's no harm in my being here. [ Thank you, Katara. ]

[kyasdaughter]

[ she'll just thump down into a chair, regarding him expectantly. ]

Well, it is a therapist's office. I'm here for my session.

1/2

[eyeforaneye]

[ ....,, okay never mind, Zuko is free to hurry his ass up and deal with this on his own. ]

2/2

[eyeforaneye]

[ Right. Anyway. ]

Seems you'll have to wait. [ a pause. ] He spoke about you.

[kyasdaughter]

[ okay, that catches her off guard. ]

What did he say?

[eyeforaneye]

That you're from his world, firstly. That your relationship wasn't always a positive one.

[kyasdaughter]

[ that's all true, but she can't begin to imagine how that might have been brought up. she manages to quash the surprise on her face almost as soon as it appears. ]

Yeah. He spent a long time chasing after me and my friends.

[eyeforaneye]

[ A lot of things have come up in our conversations already. Too many things, Katara. ]

That alone isn't excessively criminal. There's clearly more to it.

[kyasdaughter]

[ she is kind of surprised that he's found out so much in such a relatively short amount of time. ]

How much did he tell you?

[ because katara isn't sure how much detail she should go in herself. ]

[eyeforaneye]

He discussed how he'd wronged you and your group and how it was made public knowledge in Adstringendum by someone he knew. A female. [ Which... he finds irksome, but agrees that she had every right to do it. ]

I wanted to hear your perspective.

[kyasdaughter]

The way time works in places like these can really complicate friendships. That's really all that matters at this point.

[ not that she's being dismissive, but -

okay yes she's being dismissive. sorry, sasuke: she seems to be gently saying that it's none of your business. ]

[eyeforaneye]

It isn't all that matters.

The topic was the nature of your relationship in your own world. I'm not going to pry about whatever happened in Adstringendum; any version of me that might've been involved is unlike the me that I am here.

[kyasdaughter]

So instead you're prying into the nature of our relationship in our own world. Why?

[eyeforaneye]

Because I'm interested in the number of similarities between us.

[kyasdaughter]

[ urgh. ]

Alright. Tell me exactly what you want to know.

[eyeforaneye]

I want to know specifically what he did to you and your group that caused you to initially hate him.
