Sokka the 57th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[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.]

Okay, fine! Fine. It's Suki. [Happy now?]

[NEVER. But darn. If it was Katara she'd probably be able to give more useful advice. >>] Given I have no idea what you did, I guess the best I can offer you is generic advice: you apologise and then you do your best to show them that kind of thing won't ever happen again. If that's possible.

[THIS IS WHY THEY CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.]

I'd do that, but... I can't exactly promise it won't happen again.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

...is this an experiment thing? [What, did you turn into an ex-girlfriend or something?]

[markofthewise]

Um. It might be. [At least on the surface.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Then I think that pretty much comes under the banner of "Luceti sucks and does horrible things to the minds and bodies of everyone every month, please don't hold it against me."

[markofthewise]

I... think it's more complicated than that.

[Maybe. Talking about it is making him think there's more to it now.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

...do you want to just tell me what it is? You're confusing me here.

[markofthewise]

I would but uh, it's private. Aaaand not really my place to say.

[If only you were a kindly old man who he could trust for no good reason other than you look like you're full of experience.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Understandable. In that case, the best I can do is wish you luck sorting it out.

[markofthewise]

Thanks.

[... and then he remembers.]

Oh yeah. Since I've kind of had a lot of free time lately, your collapsible staff is done.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Ah! Great. I'll come down and grab that tomorrow.

Take care, Sokka. Hope you work it out.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, thanks. Tomorrow, then.
