markofthewise | Sokka the 22nd

[Time to do some pen pushing! Sokka is back at the smithy, on the couch, working through several filters, as well as adjusting the work schedule after discovering that Winry had apparently been kidnapped by the Malnosso. Just another thing to do.]

[Filtered 50% to Longshot]

We should talk.

[Filtered 100% to Caesar Silverberg, Lilly Pendragon, Jacques, and Viki.]

I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.

[Filtered 100% against all known villains]

(if you're on this list, as the B3, Major, Lesser, or Personal, you're out!)

Attention White Lotus members! If you recall, Toph announced the formation of the group about a month ago to try and put together a loosely affiliated group of members who could be called upon in times of trouble. All of you should already have the tiles that Toph gave you. If you could just answer back with your name so we know who is in the group, that would be great.

[And added as an afterthought, since he has the filter open still]

To anyone who is Winry's friend, she was taken by the Malnosso from the smithy an hour ago.

I'm at the smithy. No one else is there right now.

[Longshot doesn't reply to that, but ten minutes later he'll be showing up at the smithy]

[Sokka is still doing journal stuff at this point, so he doesn't notice Longshot show up.]

[S'cool man. He'll just look over things in your shop until you finish or notice he's there. He's not really in a rush]

[Well he'll notice you eventually and hop up off the couch.]

Ah. There you are. Why don't you have a seat?

[Yeah, no. But he's not gonna be a complete ass - he'll walk over near the couch and lean against the wall. He feels more comfortable standing.]

[Fine. Be that way! Anyway, there's one thing he wants to address first. Ironically, thanks to the Ember Island Players, he thinks he has this part worked out in his head.]

You met Zuko in Ba Sing Se, right? Under a different name.

[This again? Not exactly a secret anymore, though he's not sure how much Katara told you. He nods.]

[Right. Well, that's all the confirmation he needed. There's a more serious matter at hand.]

The day the dam broke. You did it. You're the one who ignited the blast jelly. [Not even a question. He already know this is true. He may not have seen it with his eyes, but Longshot was the only archer ~~in the Earth Kingdom~~ in Jet's group.]

[Not sure where you're going with this, Sokka. He doesn't nod to this one, but he doesn't do anything that would indicate he's denying it either.]

[He stands up so he can look Longshot in the eye.]

I'm sure the Fire Nation must have hurt you to make you do something like that. And maybe you did reform. But if you decide that's not the case and you even try to touch Zuko, you'll have to do it through me first, got it?

[Longshot's starting to get just a little tired of having to tell you guys that he's not going to hurt him. And if he did, it would be because he's Lee. There's a short twitch of his fingers at the name that might give away his irritation.]

[Not looking away though. He gets the message]

[He flops back on the couch, seemingly relieved to have that over with.]

But I doubt that's going to be a problem. But anyway, you should come visit more.
