Sokka the 82nd - [Action]
When Sokka woke up in the smithy, he was, to say the least, concerned. He had apparently died and gone to weapon heaven. And then of course, there was some horrible saber-toothed moose lion on the floor next to him. Feeling rather panicked, Sokka scooped up his boomerang (and the awesome looking sword next to it) and snuck out of the smithy without waking it up. Upon examining the boomerang, he noted it was strange how it had a few extra notches and scratches to it, like it had seen some rough times. That worried him.
The town proved even more mind blowing. It was huge. Buildings raising up beyond what he could imagine and there were so many people and houses. And not a single inch of snow. In fact, he felt rather hot and he immediately had to shed his parka. He felt lost and confused and was worried about where the rest of his tribe was. Where was Katara? Or Gran-Gran? He needed to find them. And thus he began to explore town, from one shop and house to another. Sneakily.
At some point, Momo comes landing on his shoulder. A nice lemur. A nice delicious lemur. Sokka easily catches it (since it doesn't resist).
"Mmm. Hello meat. You're just in time for lunch!"
And so with lemur in tow, Sokka made a short stop in the woods, making ready to start a fire and cook a lemur. It would be wise to stop him. Otherwise, he'll be searching the town for people from his tribe and you know, a reason for why he has wings now.

....What are you doing?
action;
[Because hiding behind the building is totally not suspicious.]
action;
[He looked to the side and found an escape route, then looked back at the stranger.]
Are you lost like everyone else?
action;
[SOOO LOST. I WANT MY GRAN GAN.]
action;
It isn't nice to lie to children. It'll give you bad karma that will follow you like that black shadow.
[He points over Sokka's shoulder, even if he's lying too, he says it with the straightest face ever. Whatevers.]

[Clothing store. He looks up at the window and then points to a place across the street.]
What is that.
action;
Um. It's somebody's house.
action;
It's alright to tell people you're lost. Otherwise, you'll end up looking dumb when they know more than you.

[He's nine, of course he doesn't.]
But I do know that's the library. I was there the other day.
If you're new here, it's okay to say so. I'm new, even if I'm only staying another few days before I get given away again.
action;
I knew it was a library. I was just making sure you weren't gullible.
action;
[HOW ABOUT THAT ONE, SOKKA? IS HE A SMART ALEC NOW?]
action;
[Though he's decided this kid is awful now and he hates him. Though something occurs to him belatedly.]
Wait, what did you mean about 'given away'?
action;
I'm being given away. My family gave me to someone else and now they gave me to this place. The people I live with say they're giving me away in a few days, too.

action;
My sisters had to. I was a burden and they married. No one wants to take a child with them into marriage.
[All said matter-of-factly because hey, it's stuff that happens.]
Re: action;
action;
He looks down. That's what families are supposed to do, he supposes. It isn't what his family did, though. And this stranger mentioned a father, but no mother. His mother must be gone, too.]
It isn't ridiculous. Maybe your family is different [better], but mine didn't want me so I was given away.
[It hurts to think about. Other families would keep their sons, keep them and take care of them and be a family. His... His just gave him to a family to make it easier on them, to broker a marriage. He was just collateral to a better deal. He bites his bottom lip.]
I'm sorry. ...about your mother.
action;
... that was a long time ago.
action;
...That's what we tell ourselves.
Please don't think ill of my family. They did what they had to do considering what I am, no one would want me around.
[He looks down and then back up after a moment, the thoughts of his home and his condition slipping away for now.]
If you're not going anywhere, I can follow someone else. I don't want to be a bother.
action;
You can keep following me. I'm going to find my way back home. If you want, you can come with me.
