Sokka the 48th -- [Voice/Action]

[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.]

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.

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

[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.]

Maybe he doesn't.

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.

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

[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.

I think that might be your fault. She and I get along fine.

Yeah, probably. I ignored her all those times I was learning the other spirits. I dunno, maybe she's mad. Do Filial Spirits get mad?

Well Haruki explained it to me like this: You're basically asking for the Spirits' help.

If you think of it that way, they're beings right? So a Filial Spirit can either comply with or deny your request. And if they can do that, then yeah. I guess they can get mad.

Well it's not like I haven't tried to apologize or anything! I think she could cut me some slack just a little, you know.

Maybe you're just not her type.

[Unimpressed frown, then a rolling of the eyes.]

Maybe I should just give up. I could use all this... free time I'm stuck with to learn Faeren or something.

Which one is that?

That would be the Earth one. That and Sona, the water one, are the only ones I haven't learned.

They're all such odd names. The only once I've heard elsewhere is Nala.

Yeah, so have I! Well, recently. It was the name of a lion...

Lioness! Have you seen the Lion King recently?

Yup! Paru showed it to me. [... as he requested from her.]

Huh, Haruki and I just watched it. What did you think?

I thought it was okay. Moving drawings was definitely interesting, not like other movies I've seen. Couldn't stand the pig and the rat guy, though.

Why not?

... they reminded me of some certain Earth Kingdom nomads. Too much singing and completely and totally unhelpful.

What do you mean unhelpful? They saved Simba from dying!

And proceeded to teach him how to be useless growing up.
