[ There's the plinking of piano keys, a carefully practiced melody. It's still simplistic, but she's getting better. ]

I can take being turned into a little kid, and I can take having my waterbending swapped out for firebending-- but I hate when the castle messes with my mind.

[ It's idle grumping that you've heard a million times before, but welcome to it, Paradisa: she has no one else to grump to directly. ]

Would you guys rather drag your friends from home here or go home? 'Cause there's a lot about Paradisa that I like sometimes-- mostly the people-- but I'm less and less sure that the losses are worth it.

Forty six days, counting today.

Or: a month, two weeks and two days.

[waterbends]

Whoah-- you're still pretty new, then.

[imalwaysright]

Yeah, I know. How long have you been stuck?

[waterbends]

[ There's hesitation, a moment of thought. It's been a long time since she's counted it by days. ]

A year and- a few months? Give or take.

[imalwaysright]

Not as bad as some of the others, but that's still really long.

[waterbends]

You get used to it. Whiiich is probably not what you wanna hear, huh? I'm Katara, by the way.

[imalwaysright]

Nooot really. Points for effort though.

I'm Stiles.

[waterbends]

Nice to meet you. Are you alone?

[imalwaysright]

Alone like... Am I the only person from back home around here?

Cause, yeah. I am.

[waterbends]

Yeah, that's what I meant. And that really stinks, I'm sorry.

[imalwaysright]

No, don't be. It's probably better they're at home anyway. [At least back home the only threat was werewolves.]

I don't think they'd do that great around here.

[waterbends]

My brother was here once. Just for a little while, though. -- it's really hard when they leave.

[imalwaysright]

Yeah, I figured. Maybe it's better if they never end up here.
