markofthewise | Sokka the 57th

[Sokka has some messages to knock out of the way. He doesn't bother with a filter for the first one, mainly because he feels like being somewhat of a jerk and making light of Haruhi's ridiculous relationship with her 'minions'. In spite of that, Sokka's tone is pretty flat. There's no excitement here and it's pretty obvious through the message something is bothering him.]

Hey Haruhi, feel free to send Naoki over. He can do his thing now. [Oh wait...] Uh, after Leon takes a look over it, I guess.

[Wonder Woman // Locked]

Uh, hey Diana. Can I ask a favor?

[This last one he almost backs out of doing. But it's been a few days now and things haven't changed. Maybe this will help.]

[Filtered from Housemates (and Haruhi as an afterthought)]

So... hypothetically speaking, how do you make up it up to someone you really care about for something that really hurt them when what you did... there was nothing you could do about it?

[With things so awkward at home with Suki, Sokka has been spending less time there. It's hard to spend time with your girlfriend when she's still upset with you, but being polite about it. So this leaves him working at the smithy for longer hours, actually doing homework at the library, and once more taking part in his neverending quest to find a hat that really says Sokka to him. Through all this, he is accompanied by a certain cheeky lemur hanging around on top of his head, shoulder, or getting into things he shouldn't.

He will, at least, drag himself home for dinner. Delicious, awkward dinner.]

Of course I haven't! And I don't plan on it either.

[Although this does solidify his convictions that brushing other people off about this whole thing is the way to go. He shouldn't have asked for advice.]

[At least he's showing that much sense. Mihai is willing to hold out hope.]

Just how old are the two of you? I'm going to guess that you haven't been...overly intimate, since there wouldn't be an issue otherwise.

Sixteen, going on seventeen soon. She's fifteen, nearing sixteen.

[That might sound young, but Sokka has been a man by his tribe's standards for nearly two years now.]

[Well that's all well and good for your tribe, but according to the Mihai standard, you're both closer to babies.]

I can only guess that she's embarrassed, especially if it's nothing she's shown you herself. You don't really have much choice besides giving her time.

That, and keeping quiet about it. Especially if you did anything while you were...her. [For the record? This is not a conversation Mihai wants to be having.]

That's the thing, I didn't! I mean, besides usual things. Like, you know, eating and working and stuff like that.

[And other... day-to-day stuff.]

But uh, yeah. Keeping it quiet.

[You know you love it, Mihai. You're going to be adopted as the new, thinner Uncle Iroh.]

Good. [The day to day stuff is necessary, but Mihai's just going to assume on that.] Then it might be okay to tell her that, but wait until she's ready to talk to you. It'd be even better if she asked, although she might not.

[Mihai is not nearly so wise as that. But he does have hope for Sokka, considering that most of the guys he knows would already have the girl shooting at them. If he doesn't end up playing giant meatshield, he's good.]

So, she only finds out what she wants to find out? I see where you're going there.

[If there was a clearer shot on the journal, you'd see the the bobbing head and knowing smile.]

...It sounds suspicious when you put it like that.

What I meant was don't try and bring it up to rush the process. If it looks like she's ready to hear it, that's one thing. But too soon and she won't listen.

Oh, right. I didn't mean it like that. Anyway, I can handle all that.
