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.]

[Or maybe it felt like three weeks because he spent three days in a tiny cell. :|]

Frankly I'm surprised you didn't come back earlier. After getting sick of the company.

We did fight a lot, but that's nothing new.

I did have a little break from him when he ran back into town to resupply. It was then I realized I'd rather have the company. Being in a cave alone is kind of creepy.

You stayed in the cave while- wait, he left you alone out there!? [Haruki, how dare you!]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Well, what if something had happened?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Bear attack. Or you fell tripping - like just now. Snake bite. Mountain lions. Or Yuber, even!

[action]

You say that if I'm stupid enough to incite the wrath of wild animals, and for the last one how would Haruki's being there make it any different?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Inciting the wrath of wild animals doesn't require stupidity, Winry. Even the most experienced hunter can end up in a bad situation. Having Haruki around would mean that he could get help for you. Or the other way around.

Waiting in a cave for fourty-five minutes without causing trouble isn't very hard, Sokka. The closest thing to wildlife I saw in there while waiting were some bats. Maybe if I looked under a rock I could have found a reptile, bugs or an amphibian.

And it's not like we didn't bring our journals.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Well at least nothing happened anyway.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Come on, Sokka. Am I really the type of person to come back battered and bruised? I wouldn't let something like that happen. I've got work to do!

[action]

[markofthewise]

See! With that kind of attitude, that's just tempting karma.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's called optimism, and either way karma and I are real good friends.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Karma is my arch enemy.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So that explains all the wrinkles between your eyebrows.

[action]

[markofthewise]

You and everyone else don't realize how good you have it, when the world isn't out to ruin everything for you.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

But it's not like you don't have things to make up for it.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Well yeah. Suki. [That's how it all balances out, as far as he's concerned.]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

A great relationship with a great person. I guess a person couldn't ask for more, right?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Sure you could. But then that karma thing shows up again.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Has anyone told you that you're extremely negative?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Yes. Yes they have. I prefer to think of it as practical.

[He, however, has not.]

Okay, here we are. Drop off your stuff, then I'll show you what I mean.
