[Tap tap.] This thing on?

Right, uh, a few things. First off, Toph, I got that thing ready. Took me longer than I thought it would, but I've got it at the smithy. Meet me there!

Zuko, if you decide to cook anything, watch the countertop! I don't want you crushing our new house guest.

So Winry, would you like to have Firebender A? I'd give you Firebender 1 instead, but I'm kind of partial to that one. In any case, I think my days as a Firebender are over. That really gets redundant when you say it so much. No wonder Azula was so crazy.

Let's see, am I missing anything... Wait! People can hear me still! Err... hey everyone. Sokka here. Don't mind me, I'm just... hanging out and doing my thing, that's all. Life goes on. But uh, in case you guys were wondering, it's less than a month until my birthday. Something to think about. I know I'm forgetting something here...

OH! RIGHT! Emil, I have your order done. Paru, how many of those prop swords did you need? I've got like, five of them, is that enough? Uh, Nash, the prototype on yours kind of uh... went to pieces. So I'm starting over, but I'm gonna get it right this time! Honest!

[...]

Oh, I guess I'm done here. So uh... yeah. That's it. [...] How do you turn this thing off... [Finally there's the sound of the book just closing.]

... not what you were looking for, huh?

N-no, that's not it at all! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... it's perfect. Thank you.

Ah, well great! Well this is the part where I demand payment.

Except, you know, no one has money. So yeah.

[He's still running his fingers over the hilt, a faraway look on his face.]

Huh? Oh, um... I guess I could cook something for you...

I certainly won't shy away from a well cooked meal. Can you cook for three? With lots of meat?

Okay, but who are the other two people?

Zuko and Toph. We all live together. They like meat too.

Would stew work? That has a lot of meat, and it's perfect for this kind of weather.

Hey, that'd work out just great.

Okay, then I can make that. Just let me know when you want it so I can go get all of the ingredients for it. Oh, um, you probably want some kind of beef stew, right?

Beef stew is great. Perhaps... a tuesday would be good. It could be our [wait for it] Stewsday! Aha! AHA! Haaaa... classic.

... that almost sounds like a joke Tenebrae would make.

A fellow lover of comedy?

Um, something like that.

Maybe you should try cracking a joke here and there. Lighten the mood a little.

I don't think I'm very good at jokes... usually people just look at me funny when I try to make one.

Go ahead and try.

Right now?

Yup. Right now.

U-um...

Take your time.

... why did the chicken cross the road?

[Loooong pause.]

... did you mean Komodo Chicken?

What?

Nevermind, keep going.
