[Action]

[Since Heart moved in with Winry her days have improved. A sweet friend who was nice and all that, and a chance to see other friends. It's raining again today, which is why she - with the new umbrella that she has now - is walking to the square in town. Well, not quite the square - she's going to Azzip in some hopes of getting a pizza. As soon as she steps in, however, she experiences something odd.

The interior of Azzip seems to be making sounds familiar to her. And what's more, there's flashes of light and such which... but no, where she did that is nowhere near her. She blinks once before turning to head somewhere else. Maybe get some coffee at Kat's Kradle (i-iyan~) or something? Yeah.

Thing is, she feels like she sees something in the window as she goes. She turns, and it's not there. She shrugs, going over her memory-records... Nothing. She is content with that and thus heads off to Kat's Kradle. After that maybe she'll go shopping? Not like this rain is too hard or anything.

That said anyone can see her particular echo (I asked the mods): in the windows of anywhere near Heart will be displaying her own code in binary (see here for an example) or C++ (here) or a myriad of of other languages mostly because I can't decide what she was written in shh, but when you try to get a closer look it'll vanish. Feel free to run into her on the way to anywhere or in anywhere and all that]

No, I don't think we have. I'm Heart. [And she even curtsies a little for Katara. Sweetly and all that]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is already getting started on sandwiches.]

Heart lives with Winry. She let me use her umbrella.

[markofthebrave]

[...a curtsy. Okaaay. Well, still. A smile.]

That was very nice of you, Heart. Thank you.

[...weird name.]

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

It was no problem. Sokka needs a little helping hand now and then, I think.

[She pauses and then looks around a bit before-]

Speaking of, I heard you're doing laundry, need any help with that?

[markofthewise]

[Wait, what? Why is she talking about him like he's a little kid? And offering to do laundry?]

Uh. I think we can manage, Heart...

[markofthebrave]

[Yeah, Sokka just... has that affect on people. And by 'people' she means 'girls,' so Katara doesn't really find anything too strange in Heart's attitude towards Sokka. The laundry is a little bit odd - but she figures that the girl is just helpful.]

No, that's all right. This place has machines for laundry - it's really amazing! It saves me a ton of time. Did they have stuff like that in your world, Heart?

[Because she'll totally take you on a tour of the appliances if not, not having to do all the laundry in the house by hand is really super awesome!]

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, of course we do. I'm going to take it that you guys don't back where you're from? [She frowns a bit before tapping a finger on her cheek] Gosh, that does sound difficult to handle, particularly if you have take care of him.

[Complete with a slightly affectionate little head nod at Sokka - she means to do it discreetly but it doesn't work that well]

[markofthewise]

Hey! I can take care of myself. [Sokka just chooses to share responsibility with Katara for their mutual benefit. If he wanted, he could so go native on this place. That affectionate head nod is just coming off as weird. What is this.]

[markofthebrave]

[Pfff, another one with a crush on Sokka. What do they see in him? And to make it even better he seems not only oblivious, but uncomfortable! This is pure younger sibling gold.]

Have you two known each other long?

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

No, nothing like that. I've only met him a few times. [Clearly she is just helpful by nature. When Sokka is all indignant like though she chuckles a little before smiling sweetly]

Oh, I didn't mean to say you couldn't. Everyone needs a little help though, right?

[markofthewise]

Eh. I guess so. [Just gonna MAKE THOSE SAMMICHES now.]

[markofthebrave]

[Just. Gold.] And some people more than others.

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[But now-!] Sure you don't want me to try my hand at one or two of those? [Directed at Sokka, of course]

[markofthewise]

Fine, fine. [He makes room, ignoring Katara.]

[markofthebrave]

[...kinda pushy, ain't she?]

You should really just let him. Sandwiches are the one thing he makes really well.

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

He doubted my abilities. As a bit of pride I ought to try to at least make one, right? Promise I won't get in his way.

[Complete with a little apologetic nod for Katara, she scoots in next to Sokka to get to work on the sandviches]

[markofthewise]

... I never doubted them. [But at least SOMEONE recognizes his culinary expertise. Thanks Katara!]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara just leans one shoulder against the wall. This should be interesting.]

Your abilities?

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

Just a little bit of doubt that I could make a sandwich the way he could.

[markofthewise]

I'm pretty particular, you know.

[markofthebrave]

[So dryly:] Oh yeah. He's definitely particular.
