Sokka the 78th - [Action/Written]

[markofthewise]

[After ditching Ed in the tunnels, Sokka has had some thinking to do. He's lost Suki and now he's lost Edward. His relationship with other people has seemed strained too. When it comes down to it, he doesn't particularly feel bad about this, but he is worried about ending up alone. Being alone is bad. But then, so is the life he had before. Well, if the journals are good for one thing, it's for sorting out dilemmas without giving yourself away. So he heads to the journal, disguises his handwriting, and asks:]

[Written (Disguised)]

If you were changed in a way that made you happier, but pushed other people away, would it be worth staying that way? I mean, it's not worth it to make yourself miserable just for the sake of other people, right? That'd be ridiculous.

[Yeah. Totally ridiculous. That was stupid of him to even ask. He stares at the page, shakes his head, and pushes it away. Later he'll reply to it, but for now, he decides to do work instead of wallowing in pointless contemplation.

For people who might want Sokka in person, he's up to his usual routine.]

Depends on what you want, doesn't it? I'd rather be happy being me.

[There's probably some irony there considering the whole Robin thing, but Anon doesn't have to know that.]

But I guess if they're really your friends, they'll accept you no matter what.

They should. But I doubt they will.

Really? How do you know they hate it so much?

[written]

[markofthewise]

Because I know them. It's not difficult to predict their reactions.

That's harsh. [Both the fact that his friends might not be understanding and the fact that he knows they won't be.] Don't think they'll ever get over it?

Not until they put me back to the way they think is best.
