Sokka the 30th - [Written]

[markofthewise]

[This has been brewing in his mind since yesterday. He decides to finally act on it. Katara, Toph, Zuko, Aang... they all had masters to learn their styles from. Sokka? He had fifteen years of pretending he was a warrior and a mere three days under a real master. Well, this was Luceti. He had nothing but time here. So after he's home for the night and dinner is done, he puts together the following filter]

[Filtered 100% against the Straw Hats, his friends (and anyone from his world), and your usual villainous suspects.]

I'm looking for someone with experience willing to teach fighting. I don't have any special powers, so if your style involves lifting ridiculously huge swords or shooting fire from your hands, forget it. I want someone who can fight for real. I'd prefer fighting with my own sword, but I'll try other styles. I can't offer much in return... but I can try to work out something in exchange.

[And Okita double steps back, letting the sword swing barely miss him before he brings his sword up and aims a downward swing at Sokka's head.

[Sokka quickly spins back around, bringing up his sword to defend himself from the blow.]

[Their swords hit and Okita jumps back, taking a further three steps back as he brings his sword up again in a defensive position. After a moment, he lowers the wooden sword and inspects the 'blade.']

Good. Now, what exactly did you wish to work on with me? Before we take our run, that is.

[Sokka does the same. Once Souji lowers his blade, he does as well.]

I can handle one opponent. I want to be able to fight several.

Then I will call others to help. The best way to learn that is to experience it.

How is your endurance?

Pretty good, I guess? I usually stay active all day long.

And after taking your run yesterday?
