She laughed. "Well, I've only had one boyfriend before Matt, honestly, but that was different. He and I...well, we're destiny, but the ship apparently can't ever seem to keep him on the ship before podding him again. Before that we were good friends, just like me and Matt! I think any good relationship takes a lot of time though, and definitely a lot of care and trust. I guess I can admire anyone who just goes on dates, but for me it was never that easy."

Talking about Aang did make her feel more than a little sad though, and was glad she was distracted.

"Oh, you better believe it," she said. "He's slow, and he wraps his arms around me, and I just feel like time stops. It's..."

As she started to talk though, it's as if her words were scrambled and she was saying something else. (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_pilgrims/511392.html?thread=5983904)

"...But its a wonderful feeling."

[[OOC: unbeknown to any of them, the power fatigue spells just kicked in.]]

Nura's eyes opened and looked at Katara. "Are you all right?" She started to sound a little more than tired at the moment.

Reimi leaned over since she was closer, reaching out to touch Katara's shoulder. "Are you overheated?"

She too was feeling a little more tired than usual, her eyes closing a bit.

Katara brought her hand to her head, shaking it a little. Where did that come from anyway? She felt a little strange, like something in the air had happened,

"Um, I don't think so," she said, taking a breath. "I mean, it is a little hotter here, but its water, and I don't think That would power me down."

She shook her head. "Maybe it was fighting that spirit possessing thing earlier. Are you guys all right?"

"I'll be fine," said Reimi, trying to shake off the fatigue. "I know that getting overheated isn't a good thing though. Maybe we need to get out and cool off in the cooler pool?"

Nura yawned. She was starting to feel very drowsy...

"You guys go ahead. I think I'll just soak some more in here." She waved her hand, eyelids starting to droop. Oh dear.

Katara was definitely a little unsettled by this. They were all fine a moment ago, why were they suddenly all tired? Was there something in the water or something? If that were the case, she hoped that Nura would be ok. Of course, she also didn't mind talking with Reimi either: she hadn't had a chance to talk to the girl before, and it had been a conversation of girl proportion that she hadn't had in a long, long time.

"If you're sure you're ok there Nura," Katara said, and climbed out with Reimi to relax in the cooler pools, stepping in and playfully making bubbles all over Reimi with a circular motion of her hands.

Reimi nodded as she climbed out after her and dipped her foot into the cool pool. She looked at her towel however and blushed a little. "Excuse my stripping but I hate getting into the hot pool again after cooling off with a damp towel."

Pulling it off, she folded it up and sunk down into the water, covering herself. "Now it kind of feels like a Japanese bath," she said, blushing a bit. "Back home before the war, there were public baths like this where mixed bathing would be even withotu a towel."

Still feeling a little out of it, Reimi nodded as she stepped into the water and yelped a little at the lukewarm water. "Eeeww cold towel!"

Her momentary fatigue forgotten, Reimi pulled it off and folded up the soaked towel. "God I hate that sensation," she muttered, setting it to the side and delicately covering herself under the water.

Katara nodded, taking the towel and draping the water out of the towel before rewrapping the towel around her. Luckily, she was able to avoid that feeling.

"Before I could bend, I know exactly what you mean: its not the best feeling, especially if where you're from is home to cold water all the time anyway!"

Speaking of though. "Where ARE you from, Reimi? Are you also from that place called Earth?"

"It's terrible," said Reimi, shivering a little as she let the water cool her off.

"Yes I'm from Earth, or that is to say a simulation of one. It's kind of complex but basically I'm from Earth after World War III happened. It was a war that lasted for 15 days, and drove our people underground to survive the radiation."

Reimi rubbed her leg in memory, as if she could feel the petrification virus she picked up on Roak. "We then reached for the stars, to colonize the worlds beyond. And find a place for humanity to live in."

Katara had not been prepared to hear that, to be honest. She moved a whirlpool around them, just to make things a little more comfortable.

"That's awful," she said. "I have to admit, I still sort of wondering why people do that to each other, fighting and being violent all the time. The only reason that hasn't happened in my world is because they didn't have the ability to, but it wasn't for lack of trying. It was lucky Aang was able to stop them."

They could travel the stars? That was something she was still wrapping her head around. "Did you find a place?"

"It was so sudden, an open exchange of weapons of mass destruction that left our planet barren. It will take a long time to restore." Reimi sighed a little.

She nodded. "There are a few worlds that we would love to join with, and we're opening talks with the rest of the races we've met."

"And then you were brought here?" Katara asked. "While you were trying to join worlds? But if that's the case, then all of those worlds were taken by the Ohm and..."

She trailed off. That was accidentally insensitive. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say all that. What are you going to do, now that you're here?"

"They have been... and they haven't," said Reimi with a sigh. "If later we go to the sensoriums I'll show you what I mean. My world is very unique."

"For now? Get the Calnus into working order, and then try to get by day by day. Although regular baths are wonderful~"

"I would love to see it," Katara said, smiling. "There are still so many worlds I have the opportunity to see, and its one of my favorite things about this place. I'd like to know where you came from."

She nodded enthusiastically. "According to Billy, I'm the one that gave him the idea, but he and others helped make this place as wonderful as it is. If I could do anything to help with your ship, I would. It's the sort of thing I know my brother would like to do."

"It's a promise then," said Reimi with a nod.

"This is wonderful, and I love the idea. Water is so precious back home as well." added Reimi.

"In yours too?" Katara remembered how water had been scarce in Sheeana and Arha's world too. "I would love to show you my world too. It's very cold and frozen, but there's lots of water there too."

She paused. "Will Nura be ok?"

Reimi nodded. "Just mostly because we have to purify our water."

She looked over at Nura. "Nura, are you okay in there?"

They receive no answer.

Katara didn't like hearing this, and brought a hand up to Reimi. "I'll go check: I don't want her to go unconscious or anything like that. How did you guys meet anyway?"

Reimi nodded. "I was working on the ship when she came down to the hangar. We got to talking and she offered to help me with the repairs."

"Oh," Katara said. It sounded like just about every other way someone met somebody, but she was still happy they met: they seemed to get along pretty well. She missed having a girl as a friend to gossip with, actually.

"Nura?" Are you ok?"

Nura had actually fallen asleep in the bath, head resting against the side, peacefully sleeping, with her arms folded against her, and her lips slightly parted.

Getting out to join Katara's side, Reimi peered down, skin goosebumping from the slight chill. "Oh my she's fallen asleep."

Reaching down, she placed her hands on either side of Nura's face and moved to rock her head side to side gently. "Nura," called out Reimi softly. "You need to wake up~"
