markofthewise | Sokka the 33rd

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.]

Well, then, if it's too difficult for you, it's too difficult for you.

Hey, hey. I've got it this time. Hitsugaya. See?

Not that hard, is it?

Well we've only talked once before now. And I had other 'customers'.

Could have just asked my name again, instead of mangling it beyond recognition.

I thought I had it at first. I kind of lost it halfway through.

Yeah, figured that out.

Anyway, I'll tell Katara you were worried.

... I wasn't worried. I didn't know she'd been infected.

Fine, fine. I will tell her you weren't concerned, then.

[Bristling.] Tell her... [Oh, damn. Now what to say?] Tell her to watch herself while those damned mushi are around.

Sure. I think she's already figured that part out, but I'll let her know.

If anyone hasn't figured it out by now, they might deserve the infection. [Except, you know, he just told Sokka to tell Katara to keep her eyes open. And it wasn't like Hitsugaya was trying to get infected by mushi or anything. Shut up, Sokka. He's just trying to find something say without saying Watch your sister's back.]

Hey. That mushi stuff is nasty. Unless your name is Yuber, nobody deserves to get infected by them. [And it's not like that needs to be said.]

[Yuber, he doesn't know, but he'll just gloss over that one.] Figured out how nasty it was, thanks. [That's why he was asking after Katara in the first place.]

Good. [That last comment of yours earned you FIVE BILLION NEGATIVE BROWNIE POINTS.]

[Yeah, well, you're not doing so great yourself, Sokka. Excuse him; he's bristling over that comment because, damn it, it was not fun to freeze, okay?] Hardly good.

I meant good that you know they're nasty, so you don't go messing with them. [It was not fun to think his sister's eyes were going to be EATEN. Okay, you've got him beat there. Fine.]

First-hand experience. [And... enough of that. That was the single most disturbing thing he's been through in Luceti. And that includes a kidnapping and the Tease.] At least Ginko seems to know what he's doing.

[... ouch.] Sorry. I guess Ginko fixed you up?

[Shrug. He thought he changed the subject. Damn it.] Told me what to do. It's working.

Ginko knows his stuff, it turns out. [Sokka had his doubts before.]

Seems like. Seen a few things over the journals. [Mostly because his lieutenant is watching him like a hawk and won't let him outside. Where there is sunlight. And warmth. But also mushi.]
