Sokka the 24th - [Action]

[Today Sokka has excused himself from work, because really, Edward is a frigging beast and he's not too happy about the new couch just yet, so hanging out here with nothing to do is kind of pointless. So today he's working hard on one of his other, more important projects. Namely, building a few more canoes, now that he's determined the prototype to be perfectly safe. So Sokka is over beside House 56 (facing House 57 and the road to the barracks), sawing the wood for the second canoe in his 'fleet'.

If you're one of the people who agreed to help him, feel free to already be there doing so. Or if you just happen to be out and about in this obscure part of Luceti, feel free to gawk.]

She'd probably hit you if you asked her upon arrival. [He... doesn't mind too much. Aila is like a sister to him, sure, but it wasn't like Sokka wasn't a decent guy.]

Are you sure? [He looks at it thoughtfully. It would be a nice reminder of home. Sort of.]

Suki? [He looks at Sokka curiously.] A girlfriend too?

[He shakes his head.] My friends, I guess. [He pauses.] My mom too.

... [He slows down for a moment in his work, before resuming his previous pace.] I never really met him. [There was no resentment though, or anything really. It was hard to dislike a person you don't even know the face of.]

... What [were?] are they like?

[He inspects his work for a moment, thinking.] My mom is our village chief. Well, I'm supposed to be the chief soon, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet. [He hands it over to Sokka.] She's tough, tougher than most women I see. I've got big shoes to fill in.

It's not as easy as it looks, I'd give it that.

Should I make more?

[Okay then, will start working on the second one as soon as he takes that one off your hands.] Well, I won't be chief now-- [At least he hopes not. He still has a lot to learn.] --but she wants to train me into becoming a good one.

[Rebuilding?] Did something happen?

[... He stops sawing for a moment.] I see. [It reminds him of what happened to Karaya before.]

[He nods at that.] You know about it?
