[Katara has never had issue with the beds in Paradisa. They were warm, comfortable, but as snug and content as she is in the blankets, she can sense that there’s something maybe just a little off. There’s pressure against her arm and side - something is cuddling her.

Momo isn’t in Paradisa. So what in the world —

She shifts just a little, groggily opening her eyes and looking to the side.

Oh. It was Joshua.

Joshua was cuddling her. Of course.]

[Katara flings herself back, knocking her journal off of the bedside table — and this is where it begins transmitting. She screams.]

What are you doing in my room? What are you doing in my bed? [Her voice just gets shriller and shriller.] Out, out, out, out, out!

[ And while anyone listening might expect just as loud of a reaction (After all this is a rather commonplace scenario here, isn't it?) from whoever is invading the poor girl's bed, instead there's just a soft grunt of irritation. He's half-asleep and not placing the voice, but the shriek sure sounds familiar. He mutters groggily, ]

Huh, Langley...?

Joshua?!

[Another shuffling sound, and the sound abruptly stops as Katara scoops the journal off the floor.]

[Oh yes hello. Someone is not entirely comfortable with this closeness, and she moves to duck away.] That's between me and her, Joshua. She's my friend too, you know.

[-- sort of. Not really. She knows Colette, but she addresses Zelos again.]

Let us know what she says, okay?

[If he heard that, he seems to make no indication as such when he speaks.]

Sure! You'll be hearing from one of us soon~!

[ Hmph. Whateveeer. He moves away from the door to go back to find a snack and wait for Colette. ]

[and after she has been fetched by Zelos, she's here! And knocking on the door]

[ By now it's a familiar knock, and it's good it's so quiet, since Katara's back to meditating in her corner again. Getting up, Joshua walks back over to the door and leans against it to listen. ]

Special delivery?

Joshua? Zelos said that you were trapped in here... [/fret fret]

Are you okay?

[ He reaches up to press his hand against the door, tapping his fingertip against it. ]

Took him long enough...

I'm fine. But a week of this will be irritating.

I'm sorry, I was all the way in town.

[hmm..... castle you are so weird] Maybe you'll get to know each other better? It could be fun!

Not interested...

[ He steps back then, one hand gripping the doorknob. ]

Hey Colette, I want you to hit the door on the count of three, okay? I'll pull from this side.

[oh right, duh... problem solving. she nods... but then feels silly since he can't do that]

Okay! Do you think we can break it?

Only one way to find out.

[ Just kick it as hard as you did Joshua's ribs that one time, Colette. B| ]

One... Two... Three!

[/s-sob........... anyway she readies her self by bringing out her wings to help her push forward, and then on the signal she puts all the force she can muster into it.

HNNNNNG]

[ YES, HULK STRENGTH X2 SHOULD SURELY GET THE JOB DONE, RIGHT?!

Except all it does is open the door the tiniest of cracks like before and...Joshua pulls off the doorknob. ]

Oh whoops. She's going to get loud about this.

Oh! [she hears that sound sldghasdgh]

Did something break?

[ He just sticks it back in, fff. It'll come right off at any pressure but why should he care? The door doesn't work anyway. ]

Nothing important... I figured that wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot.

Sorry... [sadghasd /useless apology]

Um...I don't know Katara very well, but she seems really nice! You've met her before this, right?

I think she was part of the vigilante group that took me down.

[w.......elp......]

Does she... you two won't have to fight, right?

Of course not. If I remember correctly, she wasn't even strong enough to really enter the game. She's hardly a threat.

Handy with water, though.

[ Stepping to the side, he glances out through the small opening. ]

I learned how to crack eggs.

[well...that'sa relieif at least. and she... waves like a dork when she sees him through the crack as well]

Really? I thought you didn't like cooking?

She kept insisting, it was so annoying. She better not expect me to do that the whole time.

I doubt she'll draw me a bath, either. Nobody's very helpful around here.

[sagha she can't help bug giggle a little at the first half. And she can't help but wonder... if maybe this will end up being a good experience for him]

Well, it's kind of fun to do things for yourself! Even if doesn't want to help with some things, maybe it's a good thing.

Stop trying to turn it into a good situation when it isn't.

[ But he smiles anyway. ]

Are you wearing your bracelet?

Sometimes a lot of situations are better than they seem! [said with the confidence of an idea = lifetime philosophy]

Oh, yes! [she holds up her wrist to show it.... but then it falls down under the sleeve of her shirt, so holds... her elbow up so it falls back down asdgah] I really like it, thank you.

[ Gosh Colette could you be anymore of a dork. ]

That's white gold, so it can dent easily. You're supposed to be gentle with it.
