Where: The Forge
Rating: PG
Summary: After a very successful Solstice Celebration, Sokka finds out that Bon has left Adstringendum. He doesn't take it too well (and who's surprised,) so he spends some extra time at the forge to mope in the quiet.
Bon's departure had been... unexpected. In fact, it had taken the wind out of Sokka's sails pretty efficiently, even over top of the joy he'd gained from a very successful Winter Solstice Celebration. Sure, the tribesman had been forced to deal with hard losses before, but Bon? Bon had been special -- Bon had been different.
Of all the people the young Water Tribe warrior had met, Bon had been the first to step up and really show Sokka that people could be closer than friends. More a brother, the fighter had done so much for Sokka in the few too-short months they'd shared company. Granted, there had been times where personal problems had kept them apart, but when it really mattered, both boys had been there for each other in the truest fashion.
It made it hard for Sokka to move on. He withdrew from his normal duties, instead focusing solely on the forge for a few days. Despite the want a desire, however, Sokka wasn't able to bring himself to do much more than mope and sleep... which was exactly what he was doing in the middle of the day, curled up in a dirty old cot near the stove. Considering how hard Sokka had been working lately, it was out-of-character to find him sleeping instead of working, but since no one tended to visit the forge all that often, he didn't think it mattered.
