[Nami's had quite enough of sleeping. It's kind of disconcerting to be told it's now September, and it doesn't help that she's spent the time since Ling's rude wake-up call still sleeping most of her day away. So tired, all the time. Prone to falling asleep mid-shower, and that is annoying, to say the least.

Oh, well. A week has gone past and she can finally get through most of the day with no problems, so Nami takes advantage of the fact that there is no Chopper to tell her otherwise (and no Katara or Law at the house at the time) to sneak up to the orchard and see how it's fared in her near-two-month absence.

...huh. Been hot lately, she sees. And a lot less mikan up here than she was expecting. Nothing too alarming, and the place seems okay otherwise, pinwheels and all. Someone even fixed her cottage door, lookit that.

Welp. Observant villagers might see the low-lying rainclouds to the northeast of the village, a tiny little storm that barely covers an acre. It's too hot today anyway, may as well take advantage of the fact that she can cheat.]

[Voice]

Thanks, whoever fixed my door. Did you take some of the fruit as payment or should I blame someone else for that?

[Tell her what she's missed, Luceti.]

Who knows? Maybe I'm enough of a material girl that my idea of the perfect man is someone who'd be only too happy to give me all the money I want.

[She hears that coy tone, you.]

[Nami likes this holiday. Let us mark it into our calendar for all eternity. Also, DAT FOOD *_* It's enough to make her drop her usual sarcasm and just give in to a squeal of delight. (Mark that on your calendar, too.)]

Aaahhh~! This looks gorgeous, Sanji-kun! And so delicious! [She filches a piece of mango for sampling and makes a contented sound, before lifting the drink out of his hands.] Thank you so much! [And heading for the cottage. Leaving Sanji still holding the bento box, but she's confident he'll follow her.] I should clearly fall into a coma more often.

[And follow he does like a well-trained puppy... which, let's be honest, is a pretty astute comparison. Though that last comment has Sir Puppy puppy-facing while he holds out her bento box, just in case she should feel like snatching up another morsel on the way to the cottage]

Th-that won't be necessary, Nami-san! [Nervous chuckling *_*] Otherwise how else would I get the honor to serve such a graceful lady such as you?

[Maybe it will help if he lays on the compliments thick]

Don't look at me so innocently, Katara. You have to know by now there are apparently boys falling all over themselves in order to spend time with you.

Hah, I don't even know who Korra is. I'm clearly out of the loop. [She likes Ikki, but there's a certain point that comes to mind.]

...are you happy to have Ikki back?

Well, Korra's another person from the future. You should meet her sometime. She's the new Avatar!

I never thought I'd see Ikki again. So I am happier than ever to be able to spend more time with her. [But not necessarily that she's here.]

Not unless you shrunk... [Miyabi mumbles that with a little side-ways smirk, remembering the times Nami did shrink in Luceti. It was so funny - definitely nothing she'll soon forget. Humans are so not meant to live like her kind.]

Eh, a straw? Uhm... [She rummages through her pockets, then her bag, shaking her head.] No, just my usual things... Brushes, inkpots, charcoal...my journal and drawing pad... Why?

I'm probably too romantic for the likes of that, Nami-chan. I'd love a woman I can allow anything and ought to allow me a fair few things too.

Well, it's doubly nice to meet you then, Florian. You've got good friends.

Oh well, I suppose that's true. I'll just have to stay awake and indulge in your bento lunches every day instead. [That wasn't a hint at all. And at least she holds the door open for him to get into the cottage! Though she won't take the bento until she can put her drink down on the little kitchen table.] Seriously, this looks perfect for such a hot day. Have a seat.

[There goes a slice of apple. Hnngh delicious.]

[Though Nami doubtless meant it as a tease, it makes Katara feel sick to hear something like that. There is a lot of pain here, and it's visible in her eyes behind a veneer of calm. Or at least it was until she looked down.]

That's - completely different.

But yes. [She looks up and smiles a little.] Ling does think I'm cute. He even asked me out. He was very nice about it, actually.

[Well, the smile is gone from Nami's face. She didn't mean to hit a nerve.]

...it bothers you.

Followed by you attacking me.

[Can't quite stop from snickering at that.] Good impressions all round, then.

[Guy taps the bottom of the glass to dislodge the last of his slurpee and his expression loses a bit of its playfulness.] ...so why would you want to quit if I joined back up, really?

Nice to meet you too~! [He waves excitedly as he says this, despite the fact he's right in front of her.] They're really great friends, it's true.

I'll have to meet her then, definitely.

...how does being the Avatar work? Is it hereditary?

It's... it's a spiritual thing. There's a cycle, an Avatar from one nation is reincarnated from the previous Avatar of another nation when his or her l-life ends.

Just thought it'd be easier to make you a drink that way. [Yes, let's not mention the one inch high navigator okay B|] I'll have to improvise.

...oh. [Well, that's...morbid.]

How...far in the future is she?

[There's a pause, and then he speaks quickly.]

Seventy years. She's... she's 17. [Pause] She's very nice.

And what would you ask of her?

[Well, she could avoid talking about this, but... she'd missed Nami. And it wasn't as though Aang and Masaomi made much of a secret of it.]

There's a lot about the situation that's... complicated and painful. [She shook her head slightly.] So yes. It bothers me.

[He clicks his tongue]

At this point, I think I'd want for an honest assessment. So, basically, her to be happy.
