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.]

Karma is my arch enemy.

So that explains all the wrinkles between your eyebrows.

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

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

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

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

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

Has anyone told you that you're extremely negative?

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.

Let me get this in my room, and then you can show off.

[He waits outside. He'd rather show off OUTSIDE where houses might not accidentally collapse.]

Alright, I'm ready.

Okay, follow me.

[Sokka will just lead her a good ways behind the house, into the woods until they're too far away to cause arm to any of the houses.]

Okay. I'm going to knock a tree over.

I don't think that's a good idea...

Why not? I need some wood later, so it won't go to waste.

Why not... break a rock instead?

... a rock? Well. Okay, I guess I could do that.

[He goes to find a nice big one.]

Rocks are a lot harder anyway, right? Unless you're afraid you'll hurt yourself?

Actually, yes, I am. I nearly broke my hand trying to punch through a wall. It doesn't ALWAYS work.

[Okay, here's a nice big rock. Taking his lessons into account, he decides to not crush it. In fact, he just... picks it up. Over his head. Despite it being twice his size.]

[He's not going to press his luck. He ends up tossing it a good dozen feet away with a nice big thud.]

... so yeah.

And you say that's nothing to be bragging about?

... I wasn't trying to throw it that far.
