047 [Action]

[From mid-morning to noon, Okita is at the fountain in town, watching all the crazy people wandering around and launching little sailboats across the water. Occasionally his pig will pop his head up, crush one of the boats, and drag it under the water again. Looks like someone is playing pretend at being a sea monster. Come say hello?Hahaha. I'

[Yeah okay, Sokka is just staring at this whole display. Not impressed.]

So what are you two supposed to be?

[ahappylie]

Hm? We're just playing.

[Saizou puts his hooves on the edge of the fountain, peering up at Sokka.]

And hello, Sokka-kun.

[markofthewise]

So... not experimented on then. That's good.

[Sokka just stares down at the pig. Man, he'd sure look good with biscuits and gravy.]

[ahappylie]

No, not experimented on.

[Souji slips his shoe off and stands up, smacking Sokka lightly on the head.]

Don't look at Saizou like that.

[markofthewise]

Hey! [Wow, that was uncalled for. He shoots a glare at Souji.] I was just looking, that's all!

[ahappylie]

[Ignoring that glare because don't look at his pet like he's food. 8( Also, he sits down on the edge of the fountain to put his shoe back on.]

Yes and he doesn't like being looked at like he's meat.

[markofthewise]

Well technically he is meat. It's a fact of life.

[ahappylie]

No, he's a pet. You wouldn't go eating a dog, would you?

[markofthewise]

Probably. I mean, only if there wasn't better options.

[ahappylie]

....You are so weird sometimes, Sokka-kun.

[markofthewise]

Well excuse me for not growing up where you can just run down the street and buy a pound of beef.

[ahappylie]

We can't exactly do that either, Sokka-kun.

[It was illegal to eat beef until just before he was born anyway.]

I guess I'm just not used to eating animals yet. [He looks down at Saizou and the pig grunts, paddling off.] Other than fish and fowl, I mean.

[markofthewise]

Are you saying you've been here for, what, two years? And you haven't had bacon? Sausages? Pork? Ham? Nothing?

[But WHY.]

[ahappylie]

[He points to Saizou who is staring up at them confused.]

I own a pig for a pet, Sokka-kun. I try not to eat anything made from them.

[markofthewise]

I own a bird. I eat chicken all the time. I've never felt guilty about it.

[Hawks and chickens are TOTALLY THE SAME.]

[ahappylie]

You own a chicken? [This is news to him.]
