[Action/Voice] Forward dated to the 19th
[Nami comes back to Luceti with a bang.
...literally. Because the first indication of her arrival on the networks is her journal hitting a tree at high velocity. The journal window won't pick up more than a whole bunch of dizzily swirling forest scenery and then a bare, reddened foot as she kicks it afterwards for good measure. Then she just abandons it in the grass and stalks off. Incredibly useful contribution to the journals, isn't it? Sorry about that.
She's not really in any hurry to go home, and in no hurry to go announcing herself through town, but she is cold. So after some indecision, she heads for the Avatar house instead, knocking hesitantly on the door in her New Feather dress in search of warmth and other things.
A little while later, having borrowed a coat and some shoes and feeling a little more herself, she heads for home, letting herself in quietly and... sort of standing there and listening for voices, noise, anything. Then she'll come say hi. Sort of.
Whether she stays there or not after that, who knows? But she does eventually make a journal entry in the evening, borrowing someone else's. She's not cruel enough to pretend she's not here when there are friends in town.]
[Voice]
Shirahoshi, are you still here? I remember you, now. Just thought I’d let you know.
For everyone else... hi. I'm back. Again. All that. Business as usual, I guess.
[She sounds cheerful enough. Just tired.]

She hears the door, but doesn't think too much of it. There are enough people who could be coming or going that there's no reason to really fuss. Still, she's also made herself tea to ward off the chill outside, so she'll raise her voice without going to check who came home. ]
Tea in the kitchen if you want it. [ whoever you are. And she has to think for a second before remembering where to get the cups she wants, because this kitchen isn't second nature to her yet.
...not from that cabinet. Right. The other one. ]

But in Luceti? After Bellemere is long gone?
Now? After--
That's not fair, Luceti.]

...schooling her face. Sure. She'll roll with it, why not? Nojiko could be gone by tomorrow.
She closes the door behind her, with a voice pitched to carry.]
That depends. How strong is it?

You missed the pirates getting their asses kicked at dodgeball. [Maybe. Law joined in and they didn't fail so hard then, but Marco at least, got his ass kicked.]
How was Fishman Island?

When he does see her, he has this feeling that he had met her before...but the name escapes him. Doesn't help that in his memory, he remembered her with shorter hair.]
Uh...hey. [Who are you again? :|;;;] Just getting out of the cold?
[Action]
Yeah. Sort of... turned up not really dressed for this kind of weather.
Hey.

I hope they didn't pull you during anything important back home. Welcome back, I suppose.

Then she smiles.] Well, it was an improvement over last time.

[Chizuru gasps, her cheeks burning red.] Ah! I'm so sorry! That must come off as so rude!!
[There's got to be a way to recover--] P...perhaps you'd like to make good of that 'girl's day out' that you brought up last time we talked? As a welcome back of sorts, I mean.

That's right. Did you end up finding some clothes you liked?

...and then doesn't answer.
Not now. It's better that way. She doesn't trust herself to deal with him right now.]

He hovers over his journal uncertainly before leaving her a short note:]
[Don't worry. He doesn't expect a reply.]

Not that that comes across in her own message, of course. Blunt strokes and a little violent on the page.]
