markofthewise | Sokka the 60th

[Today? Sokka is at the smithy. Honestly, are we really surprised by this? Seriously, this is kind of his thing. He is waiting for Winry, though. He wants her input on a project.]

It's been two weeks since the equinox. And we're finally getting a break from all the rain. Funny how the new season just kind of Springs up on you like that, am I right?

[Oh Sokka, you are hi-lar-ious. He wipes a tear from his eye even, pleased that he managed to let such a well-seasoned joke be released into the wild. Oh, speaking of wild.]

No but seriously, now that it's getting that time of year, how many people out here hunt and fish? I know, I know. Boo hoo, the talking animals. I've heard it. But is there anyone here besides me who still does that kind of thing?

[Also, lately Sokka is keeping a new little trinket in one of his pockets. It's something he intends to give to someone at the right time. After the small blunder of forgetting to bring it on Suki's birthday, he's keeping it all the time on him now. So even as he's walking away from home, he'll often put his hand in his pocket to make sure it's still there. He probably won't show it to just anyone, though.]

[FFFFFFFF]

That would be interesting to see. A sword with the owner's name on it! Usually it's branded with the smith's name.

Well... yeah. But it would be kind of weird having my name on my master's sword.

But you would be the one to make it - or rather, repair it. Wouldn't you want people to know it's your handiwork?

... well, it wasn't my sword to begin with. Someone else made it.

[He thinks]

I suppose that's true. Then maybe I should have you make me one and then I can carry that as my second.

I could do that! [Even just making a second sword would be an honor.] Is there anything special for it you want?

Mm...Well, I never received my short sword when I searched the stores here, so I've been carrying only my long katana. A sword with a blade about two feet to two and a half feet would be ideal.

[He smiles.]

But I can wait, Sokka-kun. I wouldn't want to impose.

No no, I'll make it my next project. I just have to finish one up for this uh, mermaid girl, and then I can do that. [Honestly the smithy doesn't keep him that busy.]

....Alright.

It will be an honor to carry a sword made by your hands.

And an honor to have you honored to err... carry a sword... made by hands.

[That kind of got away from him, whoops.]

[Sorry, he can't help but laugh at that. Sokka, your mastery of words is an amazing thing.]

Having trouble there?

[Funny how he can go from tripping over words to slinging haikus out of nowhere, isn't it?]

Uh, no. No trouble. I mean, I just meant that it would be great to make it for you, Master Souji. I mean it.

[It is. Maybe he has too much genius in one body. Sometimes he has to trip up or the world will explode.]

I'm so lucky that you'd think that. Thank you, Sokka-kun.

... well let's not get all sentimental about it.

[This isn't supposed to be a touching moment!]

[Ffff, sorry. He's getting weird in his old age. ...since sadly yeah, this is old for him. B( LIFE.]

Haha, right right. Never mind then~

I'll be sure to let you know once I've got something to show you... and see you tomorrow morning.

Alright. Bright and early~

... oh! By the way. I met uh, Miss Ayumu. Did I mention that before? I didn't know you had a giant bird thing.

....Oh! Ayumu-san? You didn't no. But I'm glad you two met. She's very kind and I owe her a great deal for taking care of us.

...
[pffffffffffffffffft, brb, trying not to die laughing.]

Yes. W-we do. Her name is Tammy.

Yeah, she seemed okay. [Very dutiful anyway...] So where did you get Tammy?

She was probably upset with me for not helping, wasn't she. [He doesn't sound the slightest bit remorseful.]

And~ She just showed up one day at our house. Her original owners were here, so when she came back, we kept her.

Well, I told her we still had training to do. I think that got you off the hook.

[Whether that was true or not, well...]

Who are her original owners?

Thank you, Sokka-kun~

[Excellent. No wonder he didn't get scolded as much.]

I don't know. Tammy just kept preening Yamazaki-san's head so we kept her.

Huh... you know, I bet there's a lot of meat on a bird that size. And she probably tastes like chicken.

[He might be kidding. Somewhat.]

Oh, there most definitely is and she probably does.

But she also talks and can kick you through a wall. [Herp derp, he sounds so happy when he says that.]
