It's nice to get a chance to relax together

Meluly had gone along cooperatively with Katara, following the girl to her room. Getting along so well has left a little skip in her step, and she slides the door behind them shut before momentarily claiming Toph's bed to perch on the edge of, watching Katara with a vague, pleasant expression. Her body language is halfway tense, halfway languid in odd increments, not quite sure of what she wants, but happy enough with anything that comes along.

"That would be nice," she says. "You have a pretty smile." In the dimness, her red eyes gleam softly: she can see fine, even with the light out. "The suits creep me out a little. I don't like them very much." And Katara is the first person she's really told that to. She wiggles and shimmies and finally skims the dress-wrap off, discarding it to the side of the bed; the tattoo patterns on her body catch what little light there is much better than the rest of her, leaving her like a lithe phantom in the dark.

"Thank you," Katara said, blushing a little. "I like your eyes, Meluly."

But observing what Meluly says about the suit, she does wriggle out of it herself until she's in her white underwear, which she's still kept after all this time. She stares at the tattoos a little, circling the patterns with the tip of her finger.

"One day, I'd like to have one of these," Katara says, her head next to Meluly's.

It was somewhere at this point that Toph edges into the room. The lack of light doesn't bother her; her crystal slippers give her all the sight she needs.

She's a bit startled as to what she finds in the room, but she just shrugs.

"I'm not even going to ask," she mutters before unzipping her own suit and falling into bed with a thud.

Katara, who is more than a little tired by this time, rubs her eyes and yawns, nestling aganst the taller woman.

"I'll explain in the morning," she murmurs, looking peaceful.

Another yawn comes from Toph.

"Uh-huh."

Then she rolls over and gets as comfortable as she can in the squishy bed. (She really wishes she had a stone bed.)

It's not that she doesn't care about what's going on with Katara: she's just... tired.

Katara is similarly tired. It's been a long day, and there's just too much to get into.

"Thanks for rooming with me Toph," Katara murmured. "I missed you."

Meluly wiggles against Katara, not wanting to interrupt the nudging little conversation as she gets comfortable. She does reach to trace her fingers lightly across Katara's face, though. "I'll tell you about them tomorrow," she murmurs, and nestles her head in against Katara's shoulder again.

"Neat," Katara murmured, and curked up against the girl, slowly starting to nod off. Her last thoughts were something about cool purple hair.
