WARNINGS: None I can think of!

Look, it's not like Katara hasn't enjoyed tending to the greenhouse. Being able to help provide for everyone has been extremely motivating and rewarding to boot, but at the end of the day she's a Water Tribe girl through and through. The minute a path appears that leads down to the ocean, she's there, swimming in the chilly water, bending the ocean around her to make ice and waves and streams.

The idea for a communal dinner comes to her when she catches a fish in a floating sphere of water. Back home, nobody in the Tribe ever ate alone, and the same was true of her friends when they traveled together. It would be good for morale, wouldn't it? A big, hearty meal that everyone can share together.

It only takes her a moment to make a big icy tub on the beach and fill it with ocean water. Soon, half a dozen colorful fish are swimming around in the shallow water, and Katara wades back out into the surf to catch another. Join her if you like!

It took a little bit of doing, but everything is ready. The fish are all cooking away on a griddle made from a piece of scrap metal set over stones and placed over an open fire. She's recruited a little help in gathering fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse, and those are either stewing together or have been converted into little dumplings which are frying right alongside the fish.

It took a little bit of innovation, but there should be enough for everyone to have a serving, and as much as she always complained about being the 'mother' of her little group of friends, there's something affirming about being able to that now for her new friends.

Whether it's leaves from the greenhouse or actual bowls, there's going to be some kind of arrangement so people aren’t just eating with their hands. It’s an effort, but one she’s happy to make.

Network Video:

[ Katara's happy face pops up on the screen. Like before, she's in front of the fountain. No art this time, though. ]

I've cooked dinner for everyone who wants to come and eat. There are vegetarian options, too. Come down to the square and eat with me. I caught twenty big fish so there's enough for everybody.

[This is a hell of a welcoming party. Poe sure seems to have picked a perfect day to arrive. He's a bit more banged up than he first appeared in his network post, a dark bruise on his face, and a bit of a limp to his stride, but he seems to otherwise be in good spirits, looking to chat and indulge in the bounty of food. It's been a while since he's had a good hot meal like this.]

Mmm? [Poe arches a brow with an amused look, seeing a bit of the General in her as she fixes him under that expression.]

Careful as they come, I told you. [He teases, but he doesn't resist the tug, coming along after her. The over familiar touch doesn't seem to bother him at all.] Did you really make all this? It's amazing.

It's more than alright. It's been a while since I've been able to eat like this.

[He looks a little unsure as she kneels, glancing about but trying to keep still for her, watching the water and the glow that follows with a curious smile.]

Nowhere serious. [Poe dismisses, shaking his head.]

I've been living off rations the past few years, trust me, this is everything I've been dreaming of. Things get settled, and I'll return the favour some day, make you some food from Yavin 4.

[He shivers at the touch, instinctively starting to flinch back, but he settles in place soon enough.]

Completely. [And he definitely doesn't flinch at the very suggestion of it, gritting his teeth at the flare of pain that brings.]

Yeah. Haven't been back in a while. But that's home. It's one of the moons of Yavin Prime.

[He pauses to think for a moment.]

Never heard of a place called Earth before. But the poles of most worlds are usually pretty cold, from my experience.

[He shrugs a shoulder, but gives a faint nod.]

...We could that if you wanted.
