Sokka the 35th - [Action/Written]
[It had been an unusually quiet day at the Walton Avatar house. Last night they had all exchanged their good nights. This morning they had all had breakfast together. But when dinner came around, one of their number was conspicuously absent. Electing himself to go yell at their time-dislocated buddy to come and eat. He didn't suspect anything, after all. Roku's staff was sitting off in a corner from when he came in earlier. But when Sokka knocked on the door and received no answer, he proceeded to push the door open...
And saw a sight he had seen before. An empty room. Back to the way it was when they first moved in, save for the paint on the walls. With a sigh, Sokka steps aside so Katara can see. This... this isn't going to be easy.
Hours later, Sokka will leave a message on the journals about it, opting to stick with writing to make things easier.]
Hey everyone. It looks like Roku lucked out and went home. Since he didn't get a chance to say it himself, thanks to everyone who was there for his birthday and stuff. You don't have to worry about him, though. He's got a big important future and is going to live to be an old man with kids. He'll even have statues in his honor. So yeah.Still gonna miss him though.

...way back when I first got here, the only one of my crew here was Luffy. He got sent home a week later.
[Action]
She moves forward then, the first step a little jerky, to go and sit next to Nami on the bed. There's a long silence where she doesn't say 'I'm sorry' or 'That must have been so hard.']
I'm never going to see him again. He's already forgotten all about us - and gone back to a world without war. He grows up, and gets married to the girl he loves his whole life... and then he's betrayed by his best friend, and left to die in the middle of a volcano. Sozin starts the war... and nothing we could do, even though we met him would change it.
He knew about it, and he still made Sozin a birthday present while he was here. [She trails off, shakes her head, her throat tight.]
[Action]
But most times, they don't. And she won't hold out what could turn into an empty promise. Instead, Nami just sits by Katara comfortably and looks down at her hands.]
It must have hurt him to find that out.
[Action]
[She sighs and shakes her head.] Anyway, that's what set him off so he burned our house, that one time.

[Action]
...oh well. At least Azula is gone, right?]
Does Zuko make a habit of upsetting people to that extent?
[Action]
Zuko... always means what he says. And doesn't always say what he means very well. He's doesn't explain things very well, and he doesn't have much patience when things don't go the way he thinks they should. But he's getting better. He has to. [A bit quietly:] He's the Fire Lord now.
[Action]
That's a big responsibility to go back to.
[Action]
[Action]
But after a moment, she reaches up to wrap her arm gently around Katara's shoulders, pulling the other girl closer in a one-armed hug.]
[Action]
[Action]
She'll just lean her head on top of Katara's, then.
She's sorry, kiddo.]
