Katara nodded and returned his grin before turning back to the task at hand. The water around her swelled and rippled, churning violently around her arms and up to her shoulders as she headed into the next room. It was smaller than Angel's, and snake-free, so it only took a few seconds for her to accomplish her task. She covered a few more rooms in equally quick succession.
Then she reached the laundry room.
She wasn't thinking when she opened the door. If she were, she would have realized that there was a direct water-line leading into the small room and that the door had been shut all day. Meaning, when she did open it and stepped inside, she suddenly found herself virtually ankle-deep in snakes... and went completely still, eyes wide with terror.
