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.]

[Oh!] Really? What did she say?

She's obviously upset, but she is worried that she hurt your feelings by being so. She still cares about you, just let her sort out her feelings about this.

Yeah, that's what I've been hearing... [But this is from Suki, so. That's helpful.]

... when did you two talk?

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

About four days ago?

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

[... oh.]

Right after it happened.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Really? I'm...

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

It's fine. I mean, these things happen, right?

[He assumes so. Kind of makes him wish he had his dad around to spell out the ups and downs of being in love.]

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Right. You two are strong, I'm sure you'll make it through this.

[markofthewise]

Thanks, Winry. [It may not be obvious, but it does help. The power of belief makes him feel better, even if he wouldn't admit it.]

Hey, no need to thank me. We're friends, it comes with the package.

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I know.

Sorry I've uh, not been doing a whole lot lately. Edward isn't a big fan of me working on stuff while I'm like this.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's all right, I've seen your overly sharpened swords.

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

I think Edward melts them down.

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's all that can be done with them after you've had them.

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Hey, they're not completely > unsalvageable!

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

And what would you have done to them?

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

I'd figure something out!

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You don't sound too sure.

[markofthewise]

Bummed out guy over here, remember?

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Hey, Bummed Out Guy, anything I can do to cheer you up?

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Nothing's exactly coming to mind.

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Can I ask you a favor, then?

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Sure, lay it one me.

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Promise to me you'll be the first one to show me the ocean when it gets warmer?

[Voice | Filtered]

[markofthewise]

[... heh. He knows how much it must mean that of all people, she wants him to be the one to take her there.]

Of course. It'll be our special completely non-romantic date.
