Hey Captain! I've got something to show you.

[Filtered 80% to Housemates, Winry, Hugo, Caesar, Yellow, Paru, and... Gold.]

[This seems like a nice, ridiculous number of people to invite. For three canoes. Despite Yellow's suggestion, he doesn't include Red. He barely knows the guy, after all. Gold... well, he doesn't seem so bad.]

So some of you may have heard I was planning a little fishing trip soon. Not just going down the lake for the day, though! A few days camping under the stars, eating what we catch, living like real men! And uh, women! Just real living! It'll be great, trust me. There's even beach party opportunities, if you know what I mean. If all goes well, we leave this Sunday. So who's in?

So uh.. I hope you guys don't mind if I miss training for a few days. I'll be taking some friends of mine on a big fishing trip for a few days. Unwind! Enjoy nature! That sort of thing. I'll try to keep up my practice on my own, but it would take a few hours to go meeting you guys back in the village, given where we're going.

Hey, Edward. You okay with watching the smithy next week? I won't be around to run it. Oh and for everyone else, does anyone know any good creepy ghost stories for campfire situations? The creepier, the better!

[Once Sokka has made his messages sent out, he decides to enjoy the day off he scheduled himself from the smithy. So aside from attending school that day (and noting a specific lack of his sister, he decides to hang out on his roof practicing with a new flute he found. As it turns out, he's not very good with it just yet. Feel free to tell him to stop polluting the air with those horrible sounds. Hours later in the evening, he'll be off in the woods, deciding to enjoy some hunting. Anyone out in the woods at the time might find him skulking through the woods in his Water Tribe armor complete with wolf helmet. Because... he just likes an excuse to wear it.]

Now you are playing notes, and not noise. [That just may be humor coming through in his tone, but he's always so reserved and deadpan, it's hard to tell.]

[Unfortunately Sokka has no way of knowing how to take that.]

... so... I should stay?

[Action]

[chaincutter]

... If you wish. It... is your house.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Thanks your Majesticness. I might go inside to play anyway, though.

[Well, Sigmund should probably be getting off of this roof and back to his mother and little girl anyway. Time to carefully pick his way to the edge while avoiding repaired patches. Oh, but one more thing before he goes.] I am usually just called [Lord] Sigmund.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Right. Of course. Sigmund. [Sokka will just have to give up that name. Sigmund isn't all that bad, after all. Unlike Haruki, of course.] Thanks for the lesson.

[Action]

[chaincutter]

You're welcome. [And the edge of this roof is what, 10' high? 11'? Hopping off like it's nothing.]

[Gawd. First Jet, then Ty Lee, now you. Why do you all have to make it look so easy?]

[Action]

[chaincutter]

[Because he's awesome like that, a fact that Ed will surely inform Sokka of repeatedly, every day, for the rest of their acquaintance. Safely on the ground once more, he glances back and raises his hand in farewell before heading on home.]
