To everyone who was asking yesterday, Katara is just fine now. So... yeah, thanks Ginko. We owe you one.

[With that settled, Sokka moves on to the next order of business.]

Master Souji, sorry I missed our lesson yesterday. [The previous message should explain why he missed it.]

[And then because Sokka is feeling a lot better in spite of a crappy day yesterday (because he bounces back so fast), he decides to start preparing for the future. Which means he needs a filter.]

[Filtered from Shirley and Sanji 100%]

So hey, I kind of have a date I need to prepare for. Anyone got any good ideas about what exactly I should do? I know there's typical stuff like a dinner or flowers and stuff like that. But that's kind of amateur stuff, isn't it? I want to go all out! Sure, Luceti is kind of a boring place at times, but I want to really nail this one good. [Of course Sokka means the actual date (which is merely a practice one), not the person he's dating. Feel free to get that wrong, though.]

I really don't think I need to worry about marrying her.

Yeah, you are young for that aren't you. Still my point is you need to treat this as a serious matter. If you don't take the date seriously then you'll come off as a bad person to her.

Hey, hey. I'll have you know I'm old enough to get married. If I was from my sister tribe, I would already have a betrothed by now.

... but yeah. I'll take it serious. [As serious as a fake date can be.]

Really? That doesn't sound too different from how my world was back in older days. Arranged marriages and all.

Good. Nobody likes to be treated badly on a date!

Not like that anymore? It's not like that in our tribe now. Although it might have been once, I guess.

I wonder if she knows about all this stuff.

I know some traditional families still do arranged marriages, but not as much as before.

Unless she comes from a world like yours, I'm sure she will.

Yeah, well- HEY! [Don't be dissing his world!]

Sorry, I stuttered! [because it will always be the best excuse.]

Sure you did.

I bit my tongue. Sorry about that.

Uh huh. Bit your tongue and made fun of my entire world. [He doesn't seem insulted though. Amused, perhaps?]

I didn't mean to make fun of it. I apologize if it came out that way. You can make fun of my strange world if you want.

I think I'll save that for another time when I have a really good one.

I'll be patient then!

Good luck on the date. Make sure not to mess up.

Sure thing. I'll even let you know how it goes.
