Timebended like a Timebender- So, here is my story... [Closed]

Nanashi turned, abandoning the food on the table, and began to walk out of the mess hall. She held her head high, and managed to banish the look of pain in her eyes for the most part as she made her way through the living area to the crew quarters.  What gave away her continued distress was that she walked just slow enough so that Katara could keep up without breaking into a jog.

The whole way the pair was silent. Nanashi was trying to figure out how to tell her story the most gently.

When they arrived Nanashi still was not sure how she would even begin. Nanashi unlocked and opened the door so fast that it looked like she didn't move. She motioned Katara into the room, and then closed the door behind them and locked it. It seemed one moment she was by the door, and then she was sitting on he bed, with little more than a blur between.

That was she speed at which she usually moved, and now that it was only her and Katara she need not be either polite nor careful to mimic the humans this ship was filled with.

"I suppose," Her voice cracked and she cleared it, "I suppose I should start from the beginning."

Though he said nothing, she had a sense that Kano was there in his mind smiling at her discomfort.
