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.]

Why not... break a rock instead?

[action]

[markofthewise]

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

[He goes to find a nice big one.]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

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

[action]

[markofthewise]

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.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

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

[action]

[markofthewise]

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

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So? You were able to lift it easily! Anyone your size shouldn't be able to do that!

[action]

[markofthewise]

Only because of the Malnosso. It's not like I'll be able to do this from a month from now. Why brag about something that won't last?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Because its no good if you can't have a little fun with it.

[action]

[markofthewise]

... wait. You are saying I should go live it up, bragging to everyone about being stupid strong now?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Well you just got back from - and you're all - I don't like seeing you mope around all upset, shut up!

[action]

[markofthewise]

Would you be happier if I moped in silence?

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'd be happier if you didn't mope at all.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Fine. [Puts on a smile.] See? I'm happy now.

[action]

[markofthewise]

So more like... this?

[Big grin.]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No! Try again! More like this.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Or like THIS!?

[This may be a terrifyingly huge smile.]

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Almost. Do your best not to look like a loon next time, okay?

[action]

[markofthewise]

I'll keep that in mind.

[action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's an improvement from before though.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Right. So smiling and bragging. I'll keep that in mind.
