[She wasn't trying to!]

Sheena! I didn't know if you were up or not.

But no. Not really. What about you though?

Sometimes I get up early, I guess. [Sheena shrugs. There is still hot water in the kettle on the stove; she steps over to a cabinet and gets down Suki's usual mug, in case she wants any.]

I feel like I've gotta ask you something.

[Suki will happily take the cup and make a cup of tea for herself.]

What's up?

[Sheena takes the time to look Suki in the eye, very serious.]

You're back with Sokka, right?

Um... yes. [Blushing.] Is there something wrong with that?

No, not if you're both okay with it and...y'know, you think everything's better. [He caused Suki a lot of pain and if they break it off again in the near future, it'd be even worse.]

I don't think everything is better, but I think it's getting better. It's, uh, a work in progress.

He really hurt you, and even if he didn't mean to or know what he was doing, doesn't it...don't you worry about what might happen?

[It's relevant in a whole lot of ways but the most important one now is that Suki doesn't end up in the state she was the first time.]

[Now with tea, Suki takes a seat, watching the steam.]

Of course I'm worried. I'm scared about what might happen, but I still want to try. I love him, even if I can't say that to him, I do. [She rubbed the back of her neck.] I don't know. I just want to be with him, and I can't see myself with anyone but him.

[Sheena sits down across from her with her own tea.]

You felt that way even when you hated him.

[And that's that.]

But you don't have to sneak in and out of the house, okay? You...uh, actually...I'm kinda worried you're doing it so you don't have to tell me you don't wanna stay anymore.

I guess. I hated him, but I still couldn't get over my feelings for him. And even you said it wasn't the real him.

[She laughed.] I didn't mean to sneak in. I just didn't want to wake you up. I promise, there is no sneaking in. And I'm only out of the house to give you and Zelos space. I'd figure you'd want it to talk with him about, you know, the past and stuff.

I think it might count as sneaking in if you stay out all night. Besides, we don't need space to talk about that stuff. If he really wants me to talk...then I will.

[Fingernails drum against the sides of her mug.]

I guess...I'm kinda worried.

[Suki sighed.] You really shouldn't wait for him. Sheena, what have you told him?

[Now Suki is worried too.]

Oh- no. Not about him, but, uh, yeah, I guess I'm worried about that too. But- I meant that...I'm worried you wanna move out but don't wanna tell me.

No! Of course not!

I wanted to give you space to reconnect, get to know him again, tell him about your past here.

Actually, I was pretty surprised that he wanted to know about it at all. But I mean it, I don't really need space. If we end up needing to talk in private or something...you shouldn't feel like you can't be here, this is your house too.

So he knows about your relationship before this?

I am sorry though. I didn't mean to leave that impression. It's just that I know how difficult that talk can be.

He knows...some of it. The last time he was here, and I told him everything- he apologized for abandoning me here and hurting me. Even though he wasn't in control of that stuff, and I couldn't make him understand that it wasn't his fault. I don't want that to happen all over again.

I know. I mean, I know how you must've felt, but I know how he feels too. I know how hard it is being the let down.

Well, I don't know how he'll handle it, but I know I didn't handle it well.

But he's not a let down! Not the last time and not this time either! [If she can't get Suki to understand, she'll have one hell of a time asking for belief from Zelos.] He's just him. I'm not asking him to go back to something he doesn't remember and wasn't really part of.

I know he isn't, but... I know I felt like one when I couldn't remember this place. Then again, I don't know him very well, so he might not care like I did. [He was a little weird.]

He'll care. In different ways. Maybe I don't do a great job of convincing him that I mean it. That I just-

[This was not supposed to end in her throat closing like this.]

I'm not...who I used to be and it doesn't matter whether he is.

That's a good thought. I just want to make sure you're honest with him. I don't want you going through the same pain I or Sokka went through.

It's probably too late for that. But maybe it doesn't have to go on as long as it did last time.

I am here to help you, you know. Well... I'll try to be. [No more giving them space.]
