Sokka the 52nd - [Action/Voice]

Hard to believe it's December here again. Looks like the snow is letting up from the snowstorm yesterday. [It was snowing... just like, a year ago.]

[Filtered to Winry]

Hey, I've got something for you. Drop by my house later, okay?

[Today is his one year anniversary in Luceti. It's not exactly something to be happy about, as far as he's concerned. The only bright spot is him dwelling on the future he heard about from his 'future sister'. It's nice knowing that, eventually, he will get back home and have the kind of life he's been looking forward to. On the other hand, he can't help but wonder at the future painted by Xion. He never found out what his future was like for her... but he had a feeling he was in it. And the idea of being in Luceti after that long was just disturbing.

So it's with these thoughts that Sokka is busy hauling his canoes back to his house from the river bank, preparing them for winter storage where they won't get too damaged. Even though he could take them out for ice fishing, there's no point in damaging them. Once he's finished up with that, he decides to just take a walk around town. He's mostly taking note of how much has changed... or hasn't. In particular, he stops in front of House 2 and watches it a bit. He knows someone lives there. But he wonders if the walls are still purple from when he painted them. He thinks back to the party he had there with Toph. Some of the first people he ever talked to were gone now. Nash, Mayoi... and a lot more since he first arrived. After making some other stops at places that used to be important to him, mostly due to their old occupants, he heads on home.

... or at least that was the plan. He detours into the woods, to go hunting again after a month of not doing so. It's late in the season and there isn't much game to be had, but this is what he would be doing if he was home, in the South Pole, where he belonged. So he'll be taking his dinner under the tree canopy, slowly cooking a rabbit he brought down. Sure, Katara is probably making something tastier for dinner, but this... this feels more right. He'll make it back home before Zuko and the girls have time to start worrying.]

I might have...mentioned something when I was talking to Adell. [Something like "Sokka was a girl."] But he was affected at the time, too, so maybe he won't remember?
blessingone: (always thought that this could never be)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-16 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No. ...You know Adell?
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-16 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The-- [Oh yeah. Those guys Sokka mentioned.] So, you're a rogue, too?
blessingone: (like you could save me)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-17 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Then what's the poit of including what he leads? Unless you know him by keeping up with village politics.
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-17 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. And here I thought his only strong point was in fighting.
blessingone: (I'll be awful sometimes)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-18 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
So, if it involves strength, he's okay, is it?
blessingone: (all this feels strange and untrue)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-19 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Erp! She's guessing he's referring back to how she let that little secret slip.] A-ah, but he also seems to be good at keeping embarrassing secrets! So you don't have to worry about that!
blessingone: (I'm a sucker for a good lie)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-21 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[A--ahaha...she doesn't want to give the example of him keeping a secret that he caught her in the bath...twice...so time for a distraction tactic:]

So...so, those are yours? [She inclines her head towards the boats.]
blessingone: (did you doubt the curve of the earth)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-23 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
You named your boats? [She's not really seen that many before.]
blessingone: (did you doubt the curve of the earth)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-24 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...right. [But why would you? However, she doesn't want to appear ignorant so moving on.] I didn't know you could make boats.
