Katsu was trying his damnedest to ignore Siku's teasing, but his ears still burned a brilliant red when he heard her taunting him. He knew doing that was a bad idea in front of her, but there was no way he could [i]not[/i] show Koinu his affection, he adored the little guy more than anything in this world. They had traveled all the way from home together, he was the one constant in the Avatar's life, how could he not love the Sabre Fox to pieces? Biting his tongue he went about gathering up a change of clothes for himself, which funnily enough comprised of all of the same outfit nearly; he'd actually bought his clothes, but because he was too impatient to try more things on he'd just bought a lot of what he knew worked. There was a little variation, like one black jacket instead of brown and some blue pants, but really it was all the same. Piling his clothing on the bed he placed his picture alongside them, wondering where his bag might be now.

"Hm? Oh yeah, thanks," the thief mumbled, accepting his backpack from Hiresh. Ugh, was he really having to thank an officer for helping him? It felt humiliating in a way, having to accept aid from someone who just as well might have locked him away before this afternoon. Stuffing his clothing and the framed picture into the bag he added in a few miscellaneous items as well, stuffing the worn piece to the brim before pulling the drawstring shut. With that out of the way he slung the bag over his shoulders, turning around and blinking confused seeing Koinu sitting before a mound of all of his toys. Heh... Suddenly indulging the young fox's need to play was catching up to him, he never had been able to tell his companion 'no'. Looking over at Siku when she pleaded on Koinu's behalf the thief couldn't help but smile, amused by how fallen for the Sabre Fox she had become. "Yeah yeah, we just need another bag is all," he replied, looking around the room and finding none. Instead of using a bag he grabbed the pillow off his bed, pulling the case off and tossing it to Siku to use, "Just put them in there, it's the only other thing I've got. And before you freak, it's clean."

That should be everything they needed, or rather everything he needed. Would Siku and Hiresh need to go grab anything as well? It was only fair, yet he was skeptical if they had the luxury of time to do so. It wasn't like these two couldn't come back to Republic City if they needed, he was the only one of the group whose head was on the proverbial pike. Putting a hand on his hip, Katsu gave his room one last look over before letting out a sigh of resignation, figuring this was the last time he'd be in here, at least for a while. "No use in putting it off, we should get going..." Off to Air Temple Island, home of the neat-freaks and the strictest benders in existence. Sheesh, it was hard to believe that Asha was one of them, she was almost out of place with her behaviors. Seeing that Koinu was more than aptly handled by Siku, the thief left the room first and headed down the stairs to the entrance, figuring his pet was more than okay with the Water Bender. 

Koinu's eyes shined excitably at seeing all of his toys being tucked away, tail wagging like a dog's as he bounced on the spot. How wonderful, he was going to get all of his things, not just his favorites! He could play all day long with his master now, and even with the nice smelly lady too! Watching as the items were placed away he turned his head when Katsu left the room, tilting it slightly as he wondered what was bothering him; the Fire Bender had mannerisms that Koinu had picked up on over the years, and whenever his master got sad his eyes would kind of close up and the corners of his mouth would just barely pull down. Yeah, he noticed it, nothing got past him! Before Koinu could go racing off to try and comfort Katsu however he found himself scooped up by the girl again, squirming slightly before glancing up at her. Did she know he was upset? Letting out a soft yip he reached up with his little paws, pushing on her shoulder as best he could to try prompting her along. Poor master, he needed some play to feel better!
