Sokka the 26th - [Action]

[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.]

I was feeling energetic before, now you're making me sleepy.

Well, I can't invite you to sleep over again, so don't go falling asleep up here.

Would it count as a sleepover if I slept on the roof?

[Sokka snorts a laugh at that.] Yeah, probably!

Oh yeah! Because I'd actually be over you. Hehe.

That's not exactly what I was thinking, but I guess that's true.

What were you thinking?

About how much it would hurt to roll off the roof in the middle of your sleep.

I don't think I roll around that much. I'd probably land on my feet anyway.

Better than on your head, I guess.

You'd be okay landing on your head.

What, because I have a hard head or something?

...

Yeah. Because it's filled with so much logic and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. [It doesn't bother him that much. He suffers such indignities all the time.]

What have you been up to lately? I don't think I've seen you since that morning you left.

Actually...not that much. I hardly know what to do with myself.

Well, have you thought about learning filial magic?

What's that?

[For a second he considers grumbling about reading the guide, but opts for showing off instead.]

It's what lets me do this. [And with a snap of his finger, he produces a tiny flame above his thumb.]

Woah! I didn't know you could firebend!

No, it's not firebending. It's filial magic. See? [He sends a weak gust of air her direction, possibly messing up her hair.]

Hey!

Maybe you're the next Avatar.

Oh, sorry. [He should be more careful with that one.]

But you can learn this stuff too. It takes awhile, but I bet you'd be good at it.

You think so?

[Oh, wow. She looks a lot different with her hair down. Like a whole different person. It's kind of distracting.]

Huh? Oh yeah, definitely. I could help, too.

I'd like that.
