[completelycrazy]

[It's later in the evening when Newt doubles back to check on Katara. He's made his rounds and had some time to calm himself down... Here's hoping she has, too. He knocks on the door of her hut.]

Katara? You around?

[ who the fuck is occam ]

[completelycrazy]

[...]

It just means that the simplest explanation is often the most viable.

[seaclipsed]

Oh! Okay, yeah, I agree.

[ stop making references that go over her head. ]

[completelycrazy]

Cool. [no???] So, you're good? You're not gonna go beating up on any robots without me?

[He tries to say it as lightheartedly as possible, but also: do not.]

[seaclipsed]

I don't want to make any promises, but I'll do my best to behave.

[ then two weeks later she goes and has one arm. ]

[completelycrazy]

[He snorts.] Don't look at it as behaving. It's more like you're biding your time. Strategizing so you can hit 'em where it hurts later, y'know?

[seaclipsed]

The problem with that is the longer we wait, the more people die.

[ katara has always been the kind of person who reacts to things immediately. ]

[completelycrazy]

[He's quiet for a moment. She has a point.]

Well, all the more reason to strike smart. If we're gonna be reckless, we need to make sure it has a chance of paying off.

[seaclipsed]

[ she nods in agreement. ]

Right. We wouldn't wanted to come out completely empty handed.

[ ha ha get it ]
