markofthewise | Sokka the 26th

[It's a busy couple of days at the smithy for Sokka. Aside from the huge playground order, which is keeping the place running all day long, he has a few other projects to work on. His own private supply of Batarangs (the boy has gotta have a hobby or twenty), Smoker's Jitte, and hey, he even finished off that saw he was supposed to finish a long time ago for Edward's client, the Medic. It's amazing how much work a guy can get done when he doesn't want to talk to Raphael, because he's a jerk, and Winry because of soap opera-esque brooding. Well, Edward, at least Sokka still has you, you freakish mountain of a teenage boy.

He'll be home later for awhile after work, but then he'll be heading to the roof of the house. Why? Because it's time he got rid of that spotlight with the Batman symbol on it before it causes any unwelcome attention. Or at least, he needs to get the metal bat piece on there off. Too bad it's welded there. All that work to pry it off might cause him to accidentally turn the thing on a few times and illuminate a certain emblem in the sky. Oops?

Naturally of course, feel free to get up in Sokka's business at any point in the day. He also has his journal open, so he'll certainly speak up if his name is mentioned.]

[He glances back at her. Well he can at least ease her concerns.]

Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a friend, that's all.

[...she's going to ask it anyway.] ...does this have anything to do with that cut?

[He takes a second ~~or 30 minutes~~ before he answers.]

Yeah. But it really was an accident.

...all right, Sokka. [She stands, fists clenched at her sides.] All right.

But you'd better not come home hurt again. Friends don't have too many of those kind of accidents.

[She'll pause to let it sink in what she means: This is the last time she's letting him get away with this, with whatever this incident is. This is a strange place, and when it comes down to it... he's her family.]

[He nods. He gets it. He definitely gets it.]

Thanks, Katara. [Because not having to keep deflecting it means a lot to him, actually.]

[She nods without looking at him.] I'm going for a walk. I won't be able to sleep with you taking apart that thing, anyway.

[It takes a lot of restraint on his part not to stop her. Paranoid about Katara being hurt? He is a little bit. But she can take care of herself, probably more than he can, as much as he'd hate to admit that.]

If I'm not done when you get back, just yell at me. I'll go to bed.

[She nods. And then jumps off the roof, slides down the small ice slide she'd created before, and lands on the ground in another crouch. It's good to be active when the moon's out. But she still can't believe he's - so - ugh.

She doesn't look up at him as she goes back into the house to change and grab her waterskin.]
