Oh the weather outside is frightful...

☀THE WARM AND TOASTY MEME☀
The situation: It is dreadfully cold. Think 'ice cave where all those slash fics are set'.
The goal: Keep each other warm tonight!

☀ STEP ONE: Comment with your characters. One comment for each character.
☀ STEP TWO: Other people reply to your characters.
☀ STEP THREE: Both participants are aware that they should/must keep nice and warm. To do that, you need to bundle up nice and closely, however grudgingly. No, killing your threadmate and cuddling the body doesn't count.
☀ STEP FOUR: Keep 'em warm! Hot cocoa, hot coffee, hot tea, hot mustard, or other suitably warming beverages will be provided if you cooperate.
☀ STEP FIVE: Lulz ensue!

((Basically just a winter-themed cuddle meme, with evil ideas from Shae and Col. Add some cuddle urges in the air if your characters won't otherwise cooperate but you want them to.))

"You better!" Katara said, winking. "At the moment, I'm sort of lacking female companionship, and I need that to sort of free up all of my need for gossip and theorizing. I may be a fighter and a mother figure, but I am still a girl."

Also? Would be good to have someone to talk to about Matt, but she'd keep that to herself for the moment.

"I did," she said. "Jet was someone that was a victim of the people that killed his parents...and that in turn started to make him as vicious as they were. I didn't forgive him for almost tricking me into destroying a village of people, but later I almost went down his path. I know now that I can't blame him, and in the end he died helping us."

It was sad, and she still wished Jet was still around.

She watched his body language a moment, then gently clapped his back. "You'll find your own niche, trust me. These things take time."

"If Kimberly was here she'd be delighted to help you," Billy said wistfully. She was kind, of course, but could also be a gossip queen.

At her story about Jet, he snaked a hand out to squeeze hers gently. "I'm sorry."

Her comfort earned a shy smile and nod. "But the road crosses that bridge eventually, doesn't it?"

"I'm sure I'd love to meet any friends of yours," she said, grinning. "In fact, maybe one day we can go to the Sensoriums and you could show me what they were like."

She shook her head. "It's hard, but Jet was doing what he always did: fighting to stop people from being oppressed by the Fire Nation. In the end, he became the hero I knew he could be."

She nodded. "And you'll get there, trust me. You're a great guy, and any girl would be crazy not to go for you."

Billy ruffled his hair, looking rather pleased. Katara was so good at embarrassing him.

"We'll see whether I'm as capable and attractive as you claim soon enough. Anyway...I haven't looked at my friends in the Sensoriums yet, but I'd be willing to for you. I didn't want to face the knowledge that they wouldn't be real, but maybe I can after all."

With the others by his side, he could handle it.

"I hope so," she said. "I know it won't be easy for you to see them when they're not here, anymore than it would be easy for me to see Aang and Sokka again, but I do want to see them, believe me."

As for being capable and attractive, Katara hoped he would find that out by a girl letting him know it: if there was anything she wanted, it was that her Bonded had someone who saw how wonderful he was.

"Then we'll go soon, all right?"

Billy nodded, reaching out for one last hug. "Thanks again. You're always saving me."

"Whenever, yes," she said, grinning. "But warm up first."

And here, she only took his hands. "We save each other. So its ok."
