17. Chamomile tea: This tea will calm you down to the point of apathy and sloth. Don't bother leaving bed, it's not even worth it.

18. Daffodil tea: SUCH A CALM TEA AT FIRST SIGHT BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT MAKES YOU TALK IN CAPSLOCK?

19. Thyme tea: Suddenly your clothes don't seem to fit so well... adult drinkers of this tea will be deaged to childhood. Child drinkers will be aged to adulthood.

20. Darjeeling tea: Causes the drinker to suffer severe delusions. They might just start to think they're the Queen of England, or a tree, or any number of things. I suggest you take videos for posterity and blackmail.

21. Black tea: Causes blindness.

22. Decaf tea: .. Sleep, who needs sleep?

23. White tea: Grants X-ray vision.

"Oh? My people are empowered by the moon as well." He waved his hands at himself and smiled. "Night Elves and all."

"But really," he started, finishing off the liquid in the mug. "I can't blame you for it, sweety. Comforts are hard to come by in this place! Got to get them," he snapped his fingers, "quick when you can or miss the opportunity."

"Really? That's amazing!" Katara said. "What sort of powers do you have? For us, whenever there's a full moon it means that we're at out strongest, and our power is formidable. What ca it do for you?"

She nodded. "Oh, its pretty wonderful, but I have to hand it to Billy to make the bathhouse idea come to life! Sure, I gave him the idea and helped him with it, but he's the one that conceptualized it, made the plans and was able to implement that. I really admire that about him."

"We can see perfectly fine in twilight and almost as well in total darkness. Increased agility, stealthiness, and heightened senses are also a benefit during the night time. The guardian of our people is known as Elune the Moon Goddess so Priests naturally have exceedingly stronger spells when in moonlight," he explained.

Nokosi ran his finger around the edge of the mug and crossed his legs. "Not surprised to hear about how much Billy helped you, honestly. Kind, intelligent, considerate and adorably awkward. He's really the best type of man, isn't he? Ronnae sure did get herself a catch in a lover. It's almost enough to make one jealous," he laughed, waving a hand.

This was going to be a terribly awkward story for his friend, later.

"Wow," Katara said, actually very much impressed. "That is pretty amazing. We have the agility and strength and all of that, and we also have gods that make up the moon and its spirit: Tui and La, the human gods that reside in the Spirit Oasis in the Northern Water Tribe."

She smiled. "Billy is someone I know pretty well, actually. You could say that he's my spirit brother, a person I never knew until we started to learn about each other by various circumstances. I saw all of those qualities you mentioned, and hoped that Billy would find someone that cared for him. I was skeptical at first though, since Billy sometimes put duty and efficiency over anything else. And then Ronnae came and changed all of that...I think the both of them are pretty special."

She smiled quietly to herself. It hurt a little, to think that this happiness wasn't something she'd have for herself, but for the two of them...she;d make sure she'd do whatever she could son they could be with each other.

"Two sides of the same coin, those two. Ronnae has informed me of some of the 'adventures' you three have had. It sounds quite fun." He uncrossed his legs suddenly. Since when did he ever sit like that anyways? Uncomfortable.

"I could say much of the same about Ronnae as well. Through many circumstances we met and became close, despite our different factions being at war with each other. She's like a sister to me now, but you wouldn't believe how many times she turned me down over the course of one year, before."

Welp. That was usually something embarrassing to admit, wasn't it? He certainly didn't feel embarrassed or...bothered by it in the least. Looking down at his hands, he was getting less and less concerned about their uneven and knick-filled state.

"It was for the best, destroyed planet aside. They're very much alike and I think they're the perfect people to erase each other's trouble-filled pasts." He paused and regarded Katara with an earnest smile. "I am also very glad of your friendship with her; she desperately needed someone on the ship to relate with."

Adventures? Really? She giggled a little at that, then remembered some of their events. The Outsider's hotel. The marriage planet. The aftermath. Walking on on a bathing Ronnae.

"Ronnae is one of the most unique people I've met," Katara said. "She's very different, and very private, but she is loyal and strong. I believe she's very focused on what she wants, and if that includes Billy, she had every reason to get him too. They need each other."

She didn't think he had any reason to be embarrassed. If Ronnae was interested in something else, then she was. And he understood that too. She liked that.

"I thought that too. Billy, you see, has had his share of sadness. People lost, things like that. And Ronnae came, and I could see he was just different around her. He sensed that vulnerability she had, and loved her for it. Billy can be timid, but when it comes to the people that need his help, he will be strong, courageous. Ronnae appreciates that, as I do. It's sort of fated we all would meet."

"You are right, of course. With the heavy weight of our current circumstance bearing down on everyone, I thought that perhaps the people here forgot that happiness can be found in the smallest of things. I am glad to see that is not always so."

Fate? He never put much into thoughts such as that before but given the way the Titan's worked, it could be so. Azeroth had barely escaped destruction more than a few times already. Perhaps knowledge they gleaned here would help ensure the Burning Legion were kept at bay.

Thinking about the foes his planet faced reminded him of...

"Katara," he said suddenly. "Might I ask a favor of you?"

She shook her head. "No, its sort of the opposite. We NEED those reminders, those things that people think are small. They aren't. In the end, we need those things to remind us that we're still able to be strong, that there are others that need us. That kind of strength isn't a small thing."

She knew that sort of talk about fate was sort of strange, but she couldn't ignore certain things. She met Aang, they fought against impossible odds to be brought here now, to try and help save the last safe places in these galaxies.

The Ohm had to be defeated.

"Huh?" Katara started. "Oh, yes, of course. What did you need?"

He didn't think anyone needed reminded that there were many no-longer existing people that needed their aid, it's what usually got them in a mood. He could appreciate someone talk about their home world cheerfully, though. It wasn't something he'd come across too often.

"Make sure Billy doesn't over-think things too much, will you? He has already confessed his disappointment and heartache at their eventual separation. He was quite dejected by it all." Nokosi gazed at Katara impassively, though his voice rang with sincerity. That had to mean that he was already feeling like his normal self, again.

"I will admit I had already thought of this for her sake. It is an eventuality that both will endure whenever the time arrives, however, this is not the time and I do not wish for his mind to be plagued with such hardships, given the things he must already endure."

Nokosi stood slowly, pressing his palms together in front of his chest and bowed low, his ponytail dragging on the table. It was customary for his people to act in such a manner when both requesting and giving aid.

"As you are his sister, I humbly ask that you keep his mind on the journey and not the destination so that they both may forever smile."

Katara made a face. "Really, why would he be thinking about things like that? It's taken him long enough to find happiness, and he's already starting to wonder what will happen when he and Ronnae separate? I mean, who says they have to at all? Honestly, he needs to be focused on how good that feeling is, to have someone that cares so much about him!"

She ought to know....just as she knew why Billy would react this way to begin with. There was still that ache in not having his friends, and the pain they both shared at losing Renne. But Katara was not about to let Billy think about what was going to happen down the road: now was the time for him to be happy with what he had.

"I agree, and I'll try to make sure that the both of them are staying positive in whatever they do. Billy is someone I see as my responsibility, and if there's anything that I can do to make things better for him here, I'll do it."

Annoyed because her friend said those things? An odd reaction to him but he'd seen stranger things in his people-watching days.

"Thank you, Katara," he said, smiling. "I'm glad that we were able to speak; your company is very pleasant." The elf bowed low again.

Normally she wouldn't have been snippy about Billy's reservations at all: she understood why he would be feeling that way about Ronnae and what losing her would do to him. but after what happened with Aang, making the best of what you had was important, and she wanted Billy to be happy.

And if SHE had any say in the matter, she would make sure that Billy would be with Ronnae, no matter what happened. They needed each other, and honestly, she cared a lot about both of them.

She gave him a similar bow. "I'd say the same for you: I heard Ronnae and Billy mention you before. I'm glad to have met you, and I hope I see you again in the future."

"As do I. I think I would enjoy if we could all four share a conversation over tea at some time. Until then, do take care."
