Sokka the 59th - [Action/Written]
[Today a not-so-unfamiliar face returns to Luceti. He is by no means happy about being here, stuck as he in a pair of New Feather pants. His old stuff? Doesn't quite fit. After all, it was clothes for a seventeen year old, not a nine year old. Maybe this 'little kid' would be happier about this if not for the fact he wasn't a mere four foot six just a week ago. He wears the indignant face of someone not at all content about being so short. He is not a happy little kid.
After waking up behind one of the stores, he goes to the clothing store first to put something on, going to the oft-neglected kid's section of the store. As it turns out, there's not many little boys in Luceti. At least not his current age. Refusing to wear girl clothing, he opts for an oversized tunic and pair of shorts that he secures with a belt. It looks even more ridiculous than the alternative. After that, he'll be on his way to House 56. After letting his housemates know he is home (and finding out about a new arrival), he decides that a mallynapping isn't going to stop him, so he heads to the smithy later to try and get work done. He may drop in on school for at least one class today, because he's trying his best to pretend this is all normal.
At some point in the day he leaves a written message, cautious to keep away from the view screen.]
Sokka here. I'm back from another kidnapping. So if you need anything at the smithy or anything, let me know. I'll get it done.
((ooc: Action him up at any point. Multiple timelines are fine here. And yeah, it's Sokka in a nine year old body, but his normal Sokka mind. He only looks cute. Replies will come from

Re: action
It is rather difficult, yes. Then how about we focus on that, hm? I'll try to remember what I can from when I was your size.
Re: action
You were training when you were my- I mean, this age? [Sokka would LIKE to think he was training back then, but honestly it wasn't much and it did little to prepare him for real combat.]
Re: action
Yes. I had my first match when I was much younger, but I started training formally when I was nine.
action
I think that's how old I am right now. It's kind of hard to tell, you know?
action
Well...
[Okita hunkers down a bit more and compares his height to Sokka's height with his hands.]
I was a bit smaller when I was nine, but it seems you're about the right height.
action
I think you're about a foot taller than me right now.
action
Okita laughs and straightens up again, dusting his lap off.]
I never did grow much. Well, if anything, we know what to work on now, hm?
action
Yeah... I might need to get something a little smaller. I mean, I could probably use my regular sword... [But not really] But it would be too long and unbalanced for me right now.
action
Daggers.
[He measures out about a foot and a half with his hands.]
About this length. Or short swords. Those should work well.
action
[Maybe grab one from the smithy before he gets in a fight with Winry and Edward carries him out of the smithy.]
Uh, but... you might need to take it a little easy on me. Because... no armor my size.
action
I will try, but you know me. If you'd rather we can use bamboo practice swords.
action
That might be for the best.
action

action
Of course! Bright and early, hm?
action
Seeya later! [And with that he's off.]
