[Blissfully unaware of Admirals stalking the village in search of him, Trafalgar Law is taking a few hours away from nosing around the village and through the journals... though it’s still open – he likes to listen to the background noise from the book. Today he must attend to some of life’s tedious domestic necessities. Mainly cleaning the apartment, cooking dinner, and sitting down on the couch to alter some new shirts and sweaters to accommodate his wings.

Boring, but it’s not going to get done by itself.

Sword maintenance comes next on the list, and that’s when the hairs on the back of his neck start to rise as he sights down the blade looking for imperfections and fractures. It’s a loud day for the journals, what with the floods of new arrivals (and no voices of crew yet), but he’s got the uneasy feeling the fun’s about to visit him in turn. 8| ]

… it’s really going crazy out there…

[… a really uneasy feeling.]

What do you think?

[Oh, that's not fair.]

It's your story!

[Chuckle.]

Well, what I think happened is the girl began weaving, and learned with every difficult choice she made. That with the wise old woman beside her, she gained her own formidable wisdom. And she learned to value her choices, and make the wise ones, even when they were very painful.

For the power she had been given was the one to dictate her own life. That's a power you and I have as well.

But eventually that girl gained enough wisdom to leave the loom, and to go out and do what needed to be done. She didn't need to see the mirror any more... she knew that sometimes not knowing what was to come was far better in the long run.

She became a wise leader. The choices she made, good or bad, were the ones she could live with - and in the end, was satisfied with. And though it was very hard, as all important things are... yes Katara, one day she saved her people. I'm not saying they didn't have it hard after that, but they made it through.

That's what I think.

[Katara listens and turns that over in her head before, eventually, nodding. She withdraws her hand from his sleeve in a natural motion to shift back in satisfaction.]

That's a good story. I liked it a lot.

You do? It's my favorite. I remember it when things get very hard and I'm not sure what to do.

[southernsquirt.livejournal.com]

Mmm. 'cause you want to make choices you can live with, right? Even if you don't know what will happen.

[See? She listens.]

[deathsdoctor]

Exactly.
