[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.]

It's done? Can I come by to pick it up right now?

Sure thing! I'm there right now.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[And off he goes.]

Really? But you seemed so excited to be a... a "firebender."

[And Sokka is in the shop, just reclining on the couch, chewing on some beef jerky.]

Yeah, uh, that was the experiment talking. I'm over that now.

[Poking his head in now.]

Um, hello?

I'll take it off your hands. Anytime you want me to pick it up?

[Sokka hops up when he hears Emil.]

Oh, finally made it. How's it going?

It's at the smithy, so anytime during the day is good. In fact, I'm there right now.

I missed that experiment, if that's what you mean.

Well.. no, actually it wasn't. How did you miss it?

It didn't affect me for some reason. Maybe the Malnosso finally got tired of experimenting on me.

I guess that's lucky, then.

[Pinged, given she's worried about a tiny friend of hers.]

How's Miya?

She hasn't woke up yet...

Yeah. Anyway, I'm glad it's over now.

Well anyways, you're here for the knife, so... [Sokka heads to the back of the store and comes back after a few minutes with a knife in a small wooden sleeve. If Emil inspects it, he'll see that it's a pretty good knife. Naturally it won't be just like the old one he had, but it's a pretty decent approximation with only a few flaws in the design. Practicality wise though, it's good sturdy knife that's definitely going to cut through things.]

So, what do you think?

Ah, really? That's a shame. I almost wish I had the real thing, to show you how it should work.

It...

[It's not an exact replica, no, but it's close enough. Emil could care less about how sturdy it is or isn't; that's not what he wanted it for. He's never actually going to use it. It just gives him something to remember Richter by, since the original knife disappeared with its owner.

He turns it over in his hands a few times, running his fingers over the flame design silently.]

Is she getting any better?

That's not a good sign. I hope she's just exhausted.

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

It's so hard to tell. She's just so small...

Maybe I should try smaller springs...
