Sokka the 35th - [Action/Written]

[markofthewise]

[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.

[Katara brings her knees up to her chest and easily loops her arms around them.]

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.

...

That's a big responsibility to go back to.

So is being the Avatar. [She looks straight ahead. So is being the next chief of their tribe.]

[She has nothing really to say to that. The look on Katara's face is enough for Nami to make a soft sound of agreement, nothing more.

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.]

[Katara just... goes with it, leaning against Nami and closing her eyes. She's tired. Luceti sucks.]

[It really does.

She'll just lean her head on top of Katara's, then.

She's sorry, kiddo.]
