"Oh, y-yes," Katara saidm looking a little less sure of herself. "You soak up the rays pretty well, really!"

And she's turned much redder than she expected, since that was the last thing she expected to be asked.

"If it were just us, yes," Katara saodm settling next to Meluly. "But considering my brother, a close friend and comrade and a bunch of guys I'm friends with will be here too, probably not the best idea."

Even Katara has her wild moments, but her brother only had so much sanity left. And Zuko, not to mention Slobo or Static seeing her like that...just no.

"You're missing out," Luly chides lightly. "It feels nice to really get a chance to stretch."

Katara paused a moment. Really, when was she ever going to do this again, especially considering the circumstances?

"Okay," Katara said and wriggled out of her bandaged suits. She was really, really adjusting to being that vulnerable, but at the same time there was something freeing about it. She thought, at least when you really got down to it, Meluly had a freedom she agreed with. She just knew that different cultures had different stigmasm and that part of her would still feel so, well, naked.

But in this case, Katara settled back and closed her eyes. For the first time in maybe weeks, she gave a smile of bliss, of quiet meditation and reflection. You could obsess about the fact you were naked, or just BE.

"I wish I could be like you, you know," Katara said. "You have this air if confidence I don't have just yet, and its a little intimidating, but cool too."

Unfortunately, Katara is never allowed to relax, because the world is funnier that way.

"So that was when I realized that when my sister said she'd kill me, she actually MEANT she'd kill -"

Zuko stops, mid-monologue, at the sight of not two, but FOUR boobies.

That's four times as many boobies as he ever expected to see!

"So your sister actually--" Sokka stops in mid-sentence as well, gaping for a moment before he realizes the owner of the one of those pairs of boobies is in fact, his beloved little sister.

The scream he releases can probably be heard across all space and time.

"KATARA?!" His next reaction is to slug Zuko right in the shoulder.

"Stop ogling my little sister, jerk!"

Luly props herself up on her shoulders, looking over at the two.

"Hello, boys."

Even meant to tease, she is... disturbingly good at a very enticing seductress voice.

Katara stirred, opened her eyes, and blinked. Oh, come ON. She decided to do this and of course she has to be seen by the last people she wanted to see her in the first place? Karma was just plain mean.

At the same time though, Katara didn't want to feel ashamed at the moment, since the whole reason she did this in the first place was so she could relax. What would have been the point if she got all flustered now?

"What?" Katara said sharply. "I'm tanning."

"Hey Katar--uh. Nsgfhg."

S'cuse him, his brain has checked out.

Zuko stares for one more moment.

Before jumping, flailing at the punch, flailing in general. "I'm not ogling her! I'm not looking at her! I didn't even know she was there! Hey, Aang."

Pause.

"AANG?!"

"You totally were! You were staring right at her, man, and be--Aang?!" He spins around to look at Aang, mouth dropping open. It was Aang.

Older. More mature. And also ogling his sister. He slugs the other boy in the shoulder for good measure.

"You stop ogling my little sister too!"

Of course, he's also trying to avoid looking at 'Luly too obviously. Helloooo Nurse!

Luly is... giggling. Just a little, but it's definitely there.

Oh, you Humans. So... weird.

"You should relax," Luly says, gesturing at the three as she sits up. Yowza. "C'mon, join us."

A small, but not that small, part of Katara was really, really amused at the attention she was getting. Zuko was obviously uncomfortable and Sokka was sputtering (and leering?!), and Aang was....

.

..

AANG?!

Katara did more than start-she jolted upright, pausing a moment, and she slowly sat down, legs together a little closer now. She took a breath, and tried to look as casual as possible.

"Aang? You're here! Um, how..how's it going?"

Katara gave Sokka a stern glare. "Yes, join us, and remember that Suki would wonder how you're doing."

A girl knows when a wandering eye is wandering. Plus, its Sokka. Sometimes he can't help it.

"Ow! I'm not oggling, I'm not oggling!" Aang insisted when Sokka punched him, clamping a hand over his eyes, his face going red--even his bald head was a little pink.

"And I'm here because this is a crack thread."

Duh.

There might be some peeking between his fingers, but he's trying really hard not to (but he really doesn't want to NOT peek). At the invitation of the girls, he fidgets for a moment, remembering that Sokka is standing right near him (and that he punches hard) but ultimately intones casually:

"Soooo this is an 'everybody is naked beach'? Is that a beach rule? 'Cause we should all follow the rules. Rules are meant to be followed, yep."

Aang is a good little Airbending monk in many ways, but he will never claim that he's super good at casting off earthly desires, especially in regards to Katara.

Zuko turns and runs. Better to get out of here before Mai shows up.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) Mai is on her way over already. She reaches out to try and halt Zuko in midflight, "Zuko? What are you running from?"

She quirks an eyebrow curiously.

Luly leans to offer a bit of a wave in Mai's direction.

Oh, hey. Maybe that's what.

Sokka puts his own hand over Aang's eyes, the better to contain his...um...un-monk like thoughts.

"It is NOT an everybody is naked beach! It's a 'Let's get away from my naked sister and the really attractive older woman' beach, okay? Okay! What do you think Aang?"

He pitches his voice a bit higher.

"I think that's a great idea, Sokka! Let's go not eat meat and talk about how much we love our fellow man!"

"Awesome! Let's get out of here, Aang!" He grabs Aang and makes to begin dragging him off, averting his eyes from the nekkid women.

Careful, there was a (naked technically, but she was always naked) naga-alien sunning herself in that direction...

Katara for her part was fairly sure that her hormones were kept in check, and of course, most circumstances she was. Now, the idea that her best friend and potential (pfft, yeah) boyfriend, who was now several years older than her and very muscley would not be wearing any clothes had broght about a very weird feeling she was previously unaware of. She took a quick breath, trying to look as nonchalant as ever.

"Aang, I'm tanning with Meluly and..." Katara did NOT know your name, but she would learn it, she promised,Jeka, "...Her. If you want to join us, you're more than welcome."

She understood your feelings Sokka, but she is trying to not look some some sort of random nudist. She looked over at Mai. "Oh hey," she said to Mai, trying to look relaxed.

Poor Aang. He'd love to stay, and have a valid excuse to run around without clothes, but his sense of propriety and not being beaten over the head with a club is winning.

"Sorry, Katara! I don't like clothes either, but I can't stay because I like living," Aang says, hand still clamped over his eyes, as Sokka drags him off. "And uh, I don't think Sokka will let me do that anymore if I don't go with him--bwaah!"

Between Sokka dragging him and Sensor laying in the sand and his whole hands covering his eyes thing it's no surprise that he trips.

"Oof!"

Hands still clasped over his eyes, as he lays in the sand, he says, "...Iiii think I'm going to just lay here for a while."

Surely, this entire situation will just...resolve itself, and he's still having trouble kickstarting his brain. It makes it hard to do things like...walking. In a straight line.

Mai opens he mouth to respond to Katara, eying the naked women with a rather displeased air (she's never understood why some women feel the need to shwo so much skin - she much prefers a good set of robes). Then she notices Aang and her expression turns to one of bafflement, "...the Avatar? He's here?"

She's still got Zuko's arm in one hand, though.

Aang holds up a finger, one hand taking the place of both to cover his eyes.

"Crack thread!"

"Oh. Right."

Mai sighs and looks up at the sky for a moment, before shaking her head, "Which doesn't explain why everyone is getting naked."

"Hey, I did this because I wanted to," Katara said, indignant. "Then people came and started staring and stuff, and then Sokka wanted to beat people off. I'm just trying to relax from death and zombies, thank you!"

And to show her defiance, she stretched out again, much like Meluly and tried to concentrate on the sun.

Besidesm they were mostly staring at Meluly anyway, as if she could blame them.

"I. I wasn't looking," Zuko gibbers. "I walked away."

So don't break up with and/or kill him, Mai!
