Sokka the 48th -- [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[After being sent home in his own bed, Sokka had slept in a bit, finally had some real food and then went to see Suki. By now, he figures he should check to see how things went. Thus, he has a message to leave.]

Well that was a lousy week. How's everyone else doing? Did I miss anything?

Oh and uh. I think I might have to take the week off from the smithy. Maybe longer. That goes for training too.

[... yeah, that should do. He'll hang around town acting just a bit odd. For instance, very gently and very slowly opening the doors to shops. He doesn't bother going to the smithy. He's mainly just trying to stave off boredom due to the fact he really can't do much of anything now. Stupid Malnosso.]

Well... I don't think of it that way. But I figure they owe me for that anyway. I didn't go fight so I could get meteor rock, but I might as well get something, right?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I don't get it. Isn't that the same?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Um, not really. One is me demanding stuff because I think they're jerks. The other is me getting stuff because I'm doing stuff for them out of the kindness of my heart.

Reward doesn't necessarily mean out of the kindness of your heart, Sokka. Bounties work like that too.

[Oh Winry... why.]

Sokka Thunderaxe... Bounty Hunter.

Yeah... it has a nice ring to it. [Oh wait, noticing Winry now.]

I'd help with your project, but.. unless it involves bending steel with my bare hands, I can't do much right now.

I'm not sure the client would want you working on it either way.

[action]

[markofthewise]

What? Why not? Who's the client?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'll give you three guesses.

[action]

[markofthewise]

[Frown. If she doesn't want to fess up to it and the client doesn't want Sokka working on it...]

Why does Haruki need something with special metal?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

He's really close to that fire spirit. He wanted me to make him something that so, if he ever had to fight, would help protect him from the fire.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Well he's not the only one buddies with Eferin! I mean, the spirit isn't an exclusive club or anything. Why are you wasting awesome metal like that on him?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

One, moron, because he asked. And two - well it should be obvious why!

[action]

[markofthewise]

Still seems like a waste.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And I suppose you have a better use for it?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Okay, offhand? Flame resistant metal. [He puts a hand in the air, to help visualize imagining it.]

Forget Eferin - because, come on, you can't even use him outside the village anyway. You create two sets of Mercurius grieves, hooked up to a flamethrower. Now only can you spew dangeorus fire faster and deadlier than Eferin or even a firebender, but with the greaves you would have just as much versatility in directing the stream.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And I'd want to create a weapon of destruction over a piece of armor that would protect my boyfriend, why?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Practicality. Even if you gave it to Haruki anyway, at least he'd be able to use it [... in a draft. But he catches himself before saying that.] anywhere he wants.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Well he didn't order a fancy flame thrower, he ordered a gauntlet. And I only provide the best.

[action]

[markofthewise]

[A sigh.]

Fine, fine. I didn't know he had a problem with people attacking him anyway. [Although with that attitude, it'd be a wonder if he didn't.]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Maybe he doesn't.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Maybe. [Considering it though.] It's a wonder I don't see him come to school with a black eye now and then, though. He must have picked up some filial healing magic too.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

He has, but he's not the best at it.

[action]

[markofthewise]

[Just leaning up against the wall now, since he can't help.]

I can't get Nala to listen to me at all. I've tried.
