"More." Slobo gave a long sigh. "Way more. Girl was connected ta Death itself. As soon as everyone on the team figured it out, things started changin'. They tried ta act the same, even convinced themselves they were. But it didn't keep 'em from bein' skiddish around her. Or worse, outright ignorin' her when she needed help because she made 'em uncomfortable." His muscles tensed quickly as the thoughts and memories flooded back.

"Birdboy didn't exactly help any till the very end, even though she thought the world o' him." Full on bitterness, like an old Guinness."Idiot."

Katara sat quietly, looking down. Things like this made her think of Toph, actually. Toph was easily one that could be pitied because of her being blind, but that was just another form of being skiddish too, wasn't it? Toph understood that though, and persevered by becoming one of the strongest earthbenders there were.

But this girl, how could she if she were feared by her own team?

"That was idiotic," Katara said. "Your team needs to stand behind you, they're your strength. If they abandon you, that can..."

Well. She didn't want to think about it.

"Yeah, well, that's life." Slo said gruffly. "People disappoint ya, when they're not so wrapped up in their own problems that they even bother to pay attention." He remained with his back to her, a small drop of water hitting the sand near his foot.

"Ya don't get what ya want, and ya can't even say ya get repaid by knowin' the people ya cared about are really okay when it's all over. 'S just the universe I come from, Aqualass."

"Well they should pay attention," Katara said, her face set. "At least here, I will. I don't care how different people say you are, or how different you might seem. In this ship, as long as you're a friend of mind, you have my loyalty. I thought it before with Chris, but I think I know it now."

Katara looked a little reflective. "I believe we can make our own set of rules, Slobo, and I don't think we should let people who let us down in the past dictate the future. Not for me, anyway."

Slobo wasn't sure how to respond to that. Part of him wanted to outright deny it, but another part wasn't so sure. Katara did seem like a friend, and that made him think of the others he had recently met on ship. Static, Roxie, that ghost kid, Sheeana... And he did still have the better parts of his team around in Bart and Kon.

"I like that idea. This place is kinda a fresh start, ain't it?"

"I think so," Katara said. "I know that its not exactly anyone's idea of a good time, but there are good people here, and we all have trying to get out of here in common. That, and I've learned a lot from the people here."

She was quiet a moment. "And anytime I feel close to breaking, I have someone new I can talk to. Everyone's experiences are different."
