[JUNK. It's everywhere and getting shoved and pushed aside as Rita digs through it, muttering.]

Those...cursed coins from a week ago reminded me...Can't believe I forgot...Argh, where the hell is it?

[The camera moves around, coming into focus on not only the study but a pile of books and papers that get tossed on the floor. Whatever, they're not hers.]

Ugh! This is what happens when you put stuff away instead of leaving it out somewhere in plain sight! ...Oh yeah, so anyway...Did anyone ever find out if those lame curse tokens actually worked? I had one somewhere...Oh, whatever. This is a waste of time on something that's useless, anyway!

[It's not like it would do any good if she didn't realize she was cursed, after all. After one final sigh, Rita decides she's had enough and starts to leave when a pile of research catches her eye. It's Leon's, left untouched for a while. After eyeing it thoughtfully for a second...Rita kicks it all onto the floor.]

Whoops. Not here, either.

[The sincerity in her voice is lacking, to put it mildly. And with that, the video ends.]

[ooc: Yep, she did that on purpose. Although she knows it's pretty likely Leon's left again, she figured if anything would make him pop out from hiding somewhere, that'd be it.]

Even if it's not my house, you're still making an unnecessary mess. You just kicked a pile of research notes. What if the owner doesn't want them touched?

Like it matters. He's not even in the City anymore.

He's not?

So, you feel it's okay to kick his things like that? [Because she keeps Aang's room always tidy.]

Sure. I mean, it's not like he's here to care about it.

[Not that his being here would've stopped her.]

The person's memory stays with you even if he left. Don't you care about that? [sappy tsundere is sappy.]

What, you want me leave his stuff sitting around forever just because of his memory? What's the point of that? [This tsundere just tsuns!]

It keeps your memory of that person alive. You don't understand that, do you? [Rita needs more dere, then!]

I-it's not like I don't understand--why would you leave something like that when nobody's going to be using it? [Does Katara have some to spare?]

Because it makes you remember that person even he's not here anymore! [Oh, she as lots! She'll gladly give Rita some. For now, she'll tsun too.]

What're you getting all worked up for? Who needs a bunch of junk just to remember someone? [Looks like they could both use some dere-time!]

Obviously, you don't. Because you don't understand their value. And they're not junk! It's like saying the person who owns them is a junk too. [Yeah, lots and lots of it.]

That's not what I said! The stuff is junk, because you don't need it! It's not like your memories are just gonna go away. [If only they were into tea.]

But you don't have to treat them and call them junk! [Katara likes tea.;;]

Look, junk is junk! You can't pretend it's something special just because it belonged to someone you knew. You have your brain to remember them! [Oh, then teatime should be had.]

You don't need to pretend because they are something special! You also have your heart to remember! [Most definitely! Not where Zuko works, though.]

Heart, brain--the way you're talking about it, it means the same thing, doesn't it? And I don't know about you, but my memory's not so bad that I need objects to jog it. [Does Iroh do house calls?]

I'm not saying your memory's faltering. What I mean is that at some point, you value things a person left to remember them by. Some sort of a keepsake. [He should! Make sure Zuko's not the one delivering them lol.]
