Sokka the 61st - [Action/Voice]

[When Sokka opens the journal, he does it with a very specific purpose and yeah, maybe it's New Feather season and the aftermath of some dumb experiment, but he has some news that he's been sitting on for awhile. News that only two or three people outside of the Avatar house are even aware of. So today, around lunch period at school, Sokka heads around the building, facing the playground, to make an announcement he'd been putting off for a bit. Not because he didn't want to make it, but it was hard to do it with people being all ragey with the Malnosso. Maybe a few days of New Feathers will have cooled them off?]

Hey everyone. So... this is actually a few weeks late, but uh, that experiment kind of got in the way and New Feathers showing up and... anyway. Forget all that.

If you guys happen to see Suki around town, say hi to her for me. After all, she's the future Missus Thunderaxe. [He allows that to sink in a bit.] Because, you know, we're engaged now. Just saying. Nice pretty necklace and everything. One of my best works, if I do say so myself.

[Yeah, yeah. He's feeling good about that, okay. Like, solid. Whatever that means. Anyway, he decided that tonight he is making dinner. That means he's going to the grocery and stocking up on steaks. He wants to make steak burgers, because he's heard about them (somewhere) and they sounded awesome. From Luceti he had decided he liked steak and he liked hamburgers, so a combination? Gotta be a winner. Nevermind that he's just getting regular old steaks and plans to just put those on a hamburger bun. He'll realize the bones are gonna be a problem later on.

He'll make his customary appearance at the smithy to help New Feathers with weapons. He'll also be around school during the appropriate times for that. In the evening, after his dinner fiasco, he'll be down by the river, on the southern end of town, making some modifications to see if he can't make it sea worthy. Like adding a sail. He's pretty unsatisfied with the results though. Looks like he may need to just make a new boat from scratch. Which necessitates another voice post in the evening. But only after excluding a certain pirate. No offense, Jack, but he wants his own boat.]


[Filtered from Jack Sparrow]

So... ship building. Anyone want to help make one? A big one. Not huge, just... sea worthy with a nice strong sail. And good for bringing in lots of fish, too. Any help would be good. Just materials would go a long way.

[Sure enough, within the hour Suki returns home with muffins! And some sweet pastries. And some red bean to fill them with. She's feeling self-indulgent today.

Either way she'll head for the kitchen first to drop them off, then if he's not there, wander around the house looking for him.]
kyoshi: (ilu but that is retarded.)

[She lifts a brow at him, giving his arm a little mock-punch.] I did not. We have a full house, you know! [Though she's taking her share of the pastries after dinner and devouring them.]
kyoshi: (I'm having some serious doubts.)

[What is this flinching. Someone needs more training.]

You think they won't be home?

[S-such an active household.]
kyoshi: (i just like him for his body.)

[....]

Well, I suppose if you don't feel like sharing, I could keep it a secret. [And she just... quietly helps herself to a sweet bun. You know. Level the playing field and all.]
kyoshi: (trying to get on my bad side)

...You want to fight me?

[The same day he announces their engagement? Really, Sokka? That's some tact.]
kyoshi: (HEY. BOOBS. THIS WAY.)

Then why would you say you could beat me? You think you're obviously stronger than me now? That we need to fake it to call it a draw?

[Sheesh, he gets a few swordsmanship lessons and he thinks he's got an edge over eleven years of hardcore training?]
kyoshi: (I'm having some serious doubts.)

[Freakysibs, you jerks. And the rest of us have to work for our skills!]

So what about now? What do you think?
kyoshi: (...excuse me?)

[....Hmmm. Well as long as he's not trying to imply that he'll mop the floor with her or something.]

I'm sure you could.
kyoshi: (and I'll take to wondering)

[Step carefully, Sokka. You'll have to be on her good side next week.]

Well, alright. When do you want to do it?
kyoshi: (uh... huh.)

In other words, whenever Toph remembers your promise and harasses you about it enough. [Apparently they're not so eager to do this as they try to let on.]
kyoshi: (neutral is probably the best bet.)

[personal profile] kyoshi 2011-05-16 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Is something bothering you? [And now she's thinking he doesn't want to.]
kyoshi: (hmm.... not so sure about that.)

[Action]

[personal profile] kyoshi 2011-05-17 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're right- it probably would help us work together better. We were pretty lucky in the last draft, but not understanding each others' techniques could be really dangerous.
kyoshi: (mwaha I got you.)

[She can't help but giggle a bit at that.] You forget it sometimes too, huh?

[She keeps touching her neck to remind herself.]
