[That doesn't really answer the question, Katara. But - fair, she supposes. It was a fairly open-ended query.]

Perhaps. Have you always considered it as such?

[watermarks]

[ A light frown. ] I'm usually too busy to consider it at all. Growing up in the South Pole doesn't leave you too much time for thinking about what's more important, the past or the future, when you are busy dealing with the present.

[ And the same was true of Luceti, really. She'd had more time to think in the fleet than she liked. This place was dangerous for its quiet. ]

[shroudedsecrets]

[ She's quiet for a moment, and then gives a small nod. ]

Well reasoned.

[ For the girl's circumstances, anyway. ]

Being in these circumstances tends to allow for a lot of thinking. Less for pushing forward. So I was curious.

[ Given how Katara seemed like a driven girl, most of the time. ]

[watermarks]

[ She frowns a little.

There is a lot of time here. ]

I guess... if I had to think about it... I'd still choose the present. The pain of the past is what drives us forward, just as much as the hope for the future, but it doesn't mean anything unless we can make changes in the present.

[shroudedsecrets]

All the better when you can make those changes by your own will.

[When it's not always an option or a choice.]

The present is very... interesting. It provides the keys to the future behind locked doors, while the knowledge of the past guides us down the halls toward them.

[When one closes, another opens...]

Plus, it's really the only option we have to live in.

[ So, you know. Might as well work with that. ]
