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.]

Well it's winter. Not much you can do about that, right? Still, he is kind of cute up there.

[The little bird yawns.] For now. He'd better get over this before he grows up.

[markofthewise]

... he's not already grown up? How big is he going to get?

[blessingone]

Um...if he's like the peepits back home, then.... [Yes, she is raising a hand to indicate something around her own height -- though, granted, she is pretty short.] About this tall, standing? Though they fly more often than not.

[markofthewise]

What? That little thing? [Jeez, he imagines Fenimore carting around a huge bird like that.] Are you sure you can handle a pet that big!?

[blessingone]

No, I'm not. They aren't exactly pet material. But...it's my Chris'mas present. I feel a bit responsible for it. [...Doesn't hurt that it's really cute like this.]

[markofthewise]

A present? From who? [Giving away giant birds seems like a pretty crappy present.]

[blessingone]

Did you see that big statue in the square in December? [The Malnosso are all about crappy presents.]

[markofthewise]

Oh! The one of Catherine! Yeah, I got power tools. Those were awesome. [Sokka LIKED his present.]

[blessingone]

[What the heck are...? Never mind.] Good for you. I got a bird.

[markofthewise]

Right. [He looks at the bird, considering.]

Maybe it wasn't supposed to be a pet.
