Katara had been watching. She had been willing to cheer for Rose, but Slobo had gotten to her first, and given her a hug. She had to admit that she was a little surprised to see him do it, even though she had done the same to Static only a few songs ago. Of course, the difference was that Slobo hadn't seemed the type to really hug anyone, evidenced by the backing away immediately after. The kiss, however, had definitely taken her by surprise, but she shrugged, grinning.

What didn't escape her eye was Static's quiet reaction. She imagined he probably felt a little like the third wheel for that. She didn't like seeing him like that.

"Um, Static?" Boy, she was going to regret this. "Do you mind if I share a beer with you?"
