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.]

[.............]

What, really?

[Oh Sokka, if only you had brained before speaking.]

YES really, you idiot!

[ SHE'S PACKED WITH FEMININE WILES. ]

Hey, hey! Easy!

[He's so glad there's a journal between them.]

I mean, it's obvious now that I think about it. Makes perfect sense. I just thought Jet only recruited guys. Or something.

You're full of crap, you know that? [ Remind her never to give him advice again :| ]

And he recruited people who wanted the same things he did.

Okay, okay!

[He sighs.]

I'm sorry. [He even means it. Sokka has mad apology skillz.]

[ That takes natural talent. She is willing to make a concession on grounds of sincerity this time. ]

Fine.

[Okay then! Much better. He'll just have to try and see her in a feminine light now. Somehow. Hm.]

So... any luck finding Jet yet?

[ Pause. ] No.

[ The fact's been surprising her less and less lately. ]

... I'm sorry.

[He really means it too. Jet may have been a jackass, but that doesn't change the fact about what him being sent home means. He feels doubly worse that he got her hopes up about him being around, when he wasn't.]

Not like you're the one who keeps people holed up in this place or gets rid of them. [ Sounding so totally and obviously aloof. ]

If I was, I'd be a lot better at it than they are.

[Okay, so it's not very funny, but what else is he going to say?]

A hogmonkey could do better than they are.

Maybe a hogmonkey is exactly who's in charge.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it. It would make the fact that nothing makes sense make more sense.

Although it wouldn't explain why they have blue, red, purple, green, and other colors for skin.

[ ...

she cannot tell if he's joking or not. Because what is that even. ]

[... oh, guess he should keep talking.]

Oh right. You haven't see any of the Malnosso, have you?

I didn't make any plans to do it, either. [ ...though she wouldn't be against it if it were on her terms. ]

Good idea. If you're lucky, you won't have to.

Not until I'm meeting them on the way out. [ Which she likes to daydream about with a lot of agonized screams on their part. ]

Uh yeah, fair enough. [Bad time to say "It's not that easy."]

[ Very bad time. If she knew he was being tactful, she'd be impressed with it. ]

Well, don't get yourself beat up by any girls trying to make up for something.

Sure, thanks.
