Sokka the 73rd - [Action/Voice]

[The house was demolished. And apparently it didn't have the decency to start putting itself together again. Not to mention the whole town was soggy. Most of Sokka's stuff in his room had been damaged. Some of it was salvageable, much of it he had to just throw out. His important valuables were in the basement and though there was a few inches of water down there, his stuff was up high and out of reach. Still, another mess to clean. At least there were two waterbenders in the house to clean that up. For a lover of stuff, Sokka was pretty put out by it. He hadn't been able to sleep in his room because of it. In a way though, he couldn't be upset. It felt right. Like starting over.

And then there was the smithy. Or what was left of it. The whole thing was rubble now. He wasn't even sure if there was a point in trying to pick through it. Best to wait until the Malnosso fixed it, right? It was freeing up his schedule considerably, anyway. At least he was back to his normal practice schedule in the mornings. Even if two straight weeks of combat had left him... weary of it, to say the least. All the same. He found himself to be glad to be back in Luceti. Back in the library, studying his alchemy. Sure, he lost all his notes and would have to start over, but it would be easier since he already knew what needed to be done again. Still. There was so much to go over.]

A guy can't leave for a few weeks without the town getting demolished, huh? Anyway. So uh. A lot of stuff has happened this past week. If anyone wants to, you know, spare some of the good details? I'll be around. Interested. And if you want? I can tell you all about space. Which was pretty great.

[Very around. Like hanging out in the plaza around. No smithy kind of leaves him with no daytime hangout spot. Especially without Suki to spend time with. So besides his training and time at the library, he's very much a man with nothing to do. Evidenced by the fact he's sitting at a bench near the fountain, lazily sprawled out as he counts his one hundredth consecutive hit on a paddle ball. It's uncanny how good he actually is with it.]

General is kind of a general name.

So that's a no. [Head shake. JEEZ YURI...] He's the leader of the Third Party.

Oh! Then I've heard things about him, just not by the name "the General." [ HA. Not doing SO bad! ]

But... that's the only name he goes by!

Mostly I've just heard him referred to as "the leader of the third party."

Well, I suppose that's accurate. He was back. First time we've seen him in over a year.

What happened to him?

He killed a lot of people. [He beat Buffy.] But in the end, the Commandant got him.

That's one of our guys, right? [ All these names. :| ]

She's the leader of the Malnosso's military. She's talked to our village a few times in the past. Not often, though.

That was probably before I was here.

Yeah, probably. How long has it been again?

Since I got here? About half a year.

[My my, time flies doesn't it?]

Six months. I remember hitting six months myself. It was hard to believe I was still stuck here.

Six months doesn't really seem that long to me anymore.

Well it took us about ten months to save the world. So it didn't feel like a lot of progress at the time.

You saved the world?

[ The sudden realization that you kind of don't know much about the person you're talking to. That's a big thing to miss. ]

Well, we saved it from the country that wanted to conquer it and wipe anyone out that resisted. So, yeah, more or less.

You fought an entire country? With other people though, right? Not like one of those crazy superheroes who uses laserbeam eyes to take out an entire fleet.

Well in the end it was just the six of us. But none of us had eye lasers.

The six of you? [ Wait. ] That Aang guy was one right?

Yeah. It was me, him, my sister, Toph, Zuko and [a moment of hesitation] Suki.

Who's Suki? [ He hesitated before that name, there's something special about it. And Yuri has no problem asking once, though she'll back off if she has to ask more than once. ]

[Ahh. Should have seen that coming. He looks away.]

My fiancee.

[ Sokka mentioned that he was engaged or married, but Yuri never really got the name- or if she did, it wasn't something too important. If nothing else it was just a reason not to tease him in particular ways to her. Gotta respect another girl's man, after all. ]

You didn't say it with sparkles in your eyes and rosy cheeks though.

[ There's the pause- ~Sukiii~ sort of pause and the pause-something's wrong sort of pause. Yuri knows that distinction. ]
