[Well, there it stands in all its glory. Sokka has the journal camera facing away from him, showing off his new boat, that looks like this (or like this when full mast), sitting out in the water. For a lack of other vessels, two canoes are hoisted and secured on either side, those being the Aila and Maza respectively. On both sides of the ship is painted something like this (only less lazy and technically saying '海洋精神' but this is Luceti okay). After getting a good view of the waves crashing on it, Sokka turns the journal back around to himself.]

So there it is, The Ocean Spirit, it's finally finished. All thanks to Brave Vesperia and other people. So... yeah, thanks everyone. Good job. We'll have its maiden voyage soon. Speaking of which - Hey Toph, you mind coming out here and making a dock? It would be... well, a lot more convenient.

Anybody who wants to come out and check it out, just use the teleporter in the barracks. I'll be out here on the beach for awhile.

[END transmission. He'll be there for most of the day, until the evening when he heads home for the usual dinner time.]

Oh, I don't know -- as long as we don't get a blizzard like a couple of years ago, I think almost anyone could handle it. [Then again, her own winters were about the same as Luceti's, if a little warmer, so she assumes everyone can handle that much.] Unless you mean most people aren't able to handle them without a shirt. But I think that would be normal.

Well, yeah, I meant the whole wearing no shirt in the winter thing.

Oh. Then. ...I don't think anyone would want to handle it.

[He nods at that and finally turns back around.]

So... is it weird? I mean, since you've been here so long. [He knows that every time someone from home shows up, it is for him. Being older than Zuko is something fun to joke about, yet it's also something really weird.]

...Maybe a little, but I don't really know them that well. Well, I guess I know Walter pretty well, but I've known him longer here than back home. Even if I guess he's younger now that he's ba --

[...Wait a second.] ...I'm going to be as old as Walter tomorrow. [Technically, she already is, but she has been keeping to her birth date rather than how much time has passed. Still. That is weird.]

It's your birthday tomorrow? [Her... other one. He hadn't remembered this one.]

[She shakes her head, not looking at anything in particular.] Yeah. I'll be seventeen. [Oh geez. Then she looks back towards him.] Though I guess you'd already have figured that out.

[Since they're practically the same age. Easy enough to remember.]

Although you should have been seventeen for months. [When he turned seventeen. He's been keeping track. Sort of. Just now.]

Yeah. I lost almost half a year and I had to go through winter almost twice in a row because of this place! [Not something she's particularly happy about. She's okay with winter, but she thinks it's entirely too long even with just one of them.]

I completely lost summer and fall to winter when I got here. But honestly, it didn't bother me that much. I mean, honestly, Luceti winters? Mild compared to home. But I've told you that before.

Yeah, I know. But this is more winter than I want. [She sighs.] It's way too long without a real swim.

So, remind me never to take you home, then. Unless you like swimming around icebergs.

I'll remember that if you ever find a way you could. I don't think I'd want to ever visit somewhere like that from how you describe it.

[And then they made small talk forever!]
