Sokka the 7th | [Action]

[markofthewise]

[You might notice something unusual today. The smithy now has smoke rising from it once again. If you go inside, you'll find Sokka inside, working on various items with one hand while holding a yellow book entitled "Smithing For Dummies" in the other. A few other books about smithing and metallurgy in general are scattered about as well.

If you caught Sokka earlier in the day, you would've seen him dragging a large amount of weapons back to the smithy, all of which he had previously purloined at the weapon shop when he arrived. He'll also be attempting to drag a few couches from the furniture shop towards the smithy too, so feel free to help him out.]

Already got an order, huh?

[markofthewise]

That's right. He even helped me move in the couch, so I think he'd be disappointed if both the couch, the smithy, and his special order didn't work out.

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

Like I said, one couch, one chair. That's my final offer. If you don't take it, I'm pretty sure you aren't the only blacksmith around here.

[She'll try to swipe that order out of his hands now.]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka manages to pull it back in time.] Wow, you're bossy and a thief. You're just like my sister. [He finally shrugs.] Okay, fine. It's a deal. I'll even let you stay on as an assistant.

[Oh, you're a cocky little boy. Elisa jerks a thumb at herself as she speaks, her voice tinged with amusement.] Hey, I'm technically your boss. If anything, you're my assistant.

[markofthewise]

I don't even see how that's fair. You just happened to run into this place first.

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

Finders, keepers.

[markofthewise]

Okay, okay. Fine. But if this Edward guy doesn't come back, I think we should give the place a better name.

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

Oh? And what do you suggest?

[markofthewise]

[He takes a few moments to think about it.]

The Slash & Crash! You get a sword to slash, or you got a couch to crash!

...

[Just. This face. But she's already denied him a lot of things, she might as well give him naming privileges. No matter how fail it may be.]

Okay, we'll go with that. But only if we're sure that Edward is gone.

[markofthewise]

Is there a way of knowing if he is?

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

If his things are gone, then that means he's gone back. If not, he's kidnapped.

I'm going to find out where he lives.

[markofthewise]

Huh. I didn't realize it was that easy. Anyways, I hope you find him. [Because he'd probably be a better boss than her.]

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

[You'll learn to love her, Sokka.]

Thanks, but don't get your hopes up.

[markofthewise]

[Well if he can learn to like Zuko...]

Sure thing. [He watches her expectantly... to leave. Anytime now.]

[poisonousbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck moving everything in. [With that, she turns and walks away, giving a little parting wave as she does so.]
