Nine
[It's moving day.
It took her a while to think about it, and another while to really decide, but after more than enough talking to herself on the matter, Raven is moving out of building two and into an empty room in Leon's house. Maybe they aren't family anymore; it doesn't matter, Raven is sick of living so completely alone, with an empty floor and emptiness all above her, too.
Maybe she isn't so thrilled to have Sokka and Ikki's noisy house as close neighbors...but maybe she's also kind of glad for it. For the closeness of people she canpretend to teeter on the edge of trusting. Kyle will also be closer to Soren and she thinks that'll do her good.
She didn't think to warn Leon of any of this beyond a short message this morning, so at least the first part of her day involves a long walk carrying a few packed boxes. Kyle follows along behind, half-carrying a drawstring bag of things - it's not a very heavy bag, she's just being lackluster about it. It is a distance to house 59 and Raven keeps turning around to offer encouragement.]
You like Leon. It'll be okay. [Never mind all of her own private apprehension. As she passes through the plaza she looks at Slash 'n' Crash with a sigh, wondering if they found her note about being busy with moving and coming to work late.
Once Leon's sorted out her moving issues, though, she walks through the smithy door looking...content. Maybe smiling. Depends on who's in there.]

He hurries to look over the rooms. Which one would she want? Should he find out where she was so he could help?
He settles on trying to quickly make sure the house is presentable.]

When she reaches Leon's and shifts everything to one arm to knock on the door, it's already heading toward lunch time.]
no subject
Raven! Hey-- I-- Er. [Okay, think, idiot. He steps out of the way and gestures her inside.] It's nice to see you.
no subject
I messed up, didn't I? [It is slowly crushing her even without confirmation of the mistake.] I can go back.

Raven! Hello! ...Do you live around here now?

Here. Ish. I just meant...you look like you're moving.
[Her green eyes flick to the stuff the other is carrying as if in explanation.]
no subject
[Which she knows is near Sokka's; she hasn't put it together that Asami also lives there and just how near they are all going to be.]

The airbender's attention is already there, and she's cheerful if confused. ]
Hey, Raven! What're you up to?
action;
Moving. To Leon's house.
action;
Leon? [ For once, Ikki looks puzzled. She's never met him. ] Where's he live at? How'd you meet him? Is he a friend?

Where to?
no subject
[It isn't even full. She's just sulking. Most of the stuff inside, in fact, is the food Raven had in the kitchen specifically for Kyle, to keep it all separate and in one place.]

Oh, is this for me? What is it?
[Don't mind him just accepting one of the boxes off the top to start opening it.]
no subject
[Too late, is what it is. He has the box and once open he will see...a bunch of her stuff packed sort of haphazardly, because she doesn't have a whole lot to begin with. On the very top is a diary and a drawing signed by Ikki.]
no subject
[Sokka pulls out the picture and frowns at it. This is kind of... well...]
It's um. An interesting art style. Very... unique? I'm sure she'll love it.
[He doesn't have the heart to tell her that she has the art skills of a seven year old. The diary he just assumes is empty, though.]
