[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.]

No fear there. Though I'll do my best not to accidentally tackle you or anything. [N-no hard feelings about that time under the tree, okay.]

...has it improved at all? I mean-- I guess I should ask how long you went home for.

The way I heard it, he did in the end. Though currently upon request I'm pretending that never happened.

Really great friends. You've got some keepers there.

Definitely. And I keep making more. It's one of the good parts of this place. [They help him to feel so alive.]

I hear you there. I'm not a fan of Luceti at all, but I'll miss the people I met here. Be nice if I could just visit them once I leave.

I agree. I'm the Avatar after all, so I want to see if I can find a way to get through to other worlds. [Pause] At least... I want to be able to hold onto the memories of all you great people and the fun times that were only possible here.

Asch? [Hmm...thinking about this.] I don't know him very well...

...I should go make friends with him too.

Not bad, considering. I hear the refugees kind of raided the place, and it's been hot. No serious harm done, though. [All said while casually picking through her bento. She's leaving her mikan pieces until last.] How's the restaurant?

Keimi also makes clothes! And she's a mermaid too, so she might be better than Shiki for you. And you already know her, right?

But yeah... the water temperature drops to near freezing in the winter months. And there'll be snow everywhere and biting wind, so you definitely want to be elsewhere. The other mermaids we've ever had here have always sought shelter in the village at that time.

...hey. It might be a bit weird for you, but if I could get you a little smaller, you could come stay with us in the winter months.

I'm going to be brutal for just a second here. [And despite saying such, her tone is gentle.]

You can't help how other people feel about you, and how they feel shouldn't obligate you to do anything for them. Don't laugh at them, by all means, but... it isn't your fault or your problem.

They're still your friends, right?

Maybe one day we'll find a way of being able to go to and from Luceti any time we want. [It's the goal of all Nami's nefarious plans, anyway.] That'd be kind of awesome. We could use it as a meeting place... and the people who've died at home would get to stay here.

[Eyes filled with shadows, Katara looked at Nami quietly for a long moment.]

You think I don't know that?

[Mixed feelings about. Most of what she says sounds hopeful. Like a way to hold onto all the friends he made here, like Nami and Shikamaru and Silver. But the part about dead people... it sends a chill down his spine. Because it's something he wants, something he'd really want. He could only dream of coming here to see Gyatso again, or Kuzon or Jet. And... it'd work both ways, too. His family would be able to see him again. Katara wouldn't ever have to see him for a last time.

Except that... this plan sounded a lot like being a god.

And he couldn't stay here forever.]

That would be a really neat idea, Nami, especially if we could stop that war from happening. If only it really were possible for everyone to live happily forever here.

The war? You mean with the Third Party, or...?

I definitely recommend making friends with Asch. He needs more of them.

[Because finding ways to harass Asch is her secret hobby. Also, here we are at the cottage! She opens the door, come on in.]

Yeah. Isn't that why this world has all these problems, because the Malnosso and the Third Party are all at war? This world would have to be at peace before we could think of using it for something like that.

Well, his kiss was unneeded. The task had already been done.

I would think you don't know it enough, if it's hurting you like this. [But Nami has never considered Katara to be that childish. So her frown grows deeper.] But I'm gathering it's a lot more complicated than that.

Heh. I think the only way this world will ever be at peace is if we all go home, sadly. Malnosso included.

Mm. [All at once she'd rather talk about something else.]

...I've spoken to you before this, haven't I? A while ago.

You could be right about that. And if this place can't have peace, then I wouldn't want anyone to be here if we had the choice.

[Well, that's odd.]

Possibly. I speak to a lot of people. [... but he doesn't remember.]

Okay! I'll try making friends with him next.

[--Oh, shelter! He hops on inside. Now he doesn't have to wipe water out of his eyes anymore!]

[There's a thick, irritated noise at the mention of the refugees - he hasn't forgotten what some of the damn shitheads did to Raine, either - but manages to brush over it without comment.]

Fine, so far. [He offers up the information with slight reluctance] I'm down a few shitty workers, and Sayo-san is still... [Er. A pause, as he isn't sure Nami ever found out about that mishap]

Do you know what both soda and coffee are?
