Of course you can. But did something happen?

I'll tell you about it later. Do I need to bring my sleeping bag? Or anything else?

[buntails]

We'll talk over some good food. Maybe you better bring the sleeping bag; we've been arguing over blankets.

[Text | Same Filter] Open to an offline here?

[angle_on_it]

I'll bring my sleeping bad /and/ a couple blankets. See you soon.

[Text | Same Filter] bring it! <3

[buntails]

I'll get everything ready.

[Sokka arrives at Usagi's door, bundled and packed, arms full of blankets. He knocks, less than enthusiastic about life right now, but he puts a smile on well before anyone can answer the door.]

[Usagi's smile is softer than her usual boisterousness, but no less genuine. She's just concerned for Sokka. (Is it selfish to be glad, too, glad that he turned to her and knew she would help him?)]

Come in. I don't know what happened, but you can definitely stay here until things are alright back at your house again.

Thanks. [Sokka takes a step inside and closes the door behind him. He offers over the blankets.] I don't think it'll be more than a couple days, but I really appreciate it, Usa. A lot.

Don't worry! It's fine for as long as you need. [She takes the blankets, but leads the way to a part of the temple that should be far enough to give everyone privacy. He'll be the one to use them.]

Have you been okay? [As soon as they stop, he drops his pack and kneels to unravel his sleeping bag. He's listening, don't worry!]

[buntails]

[So much more than ok; things feel right again. Chibiusa is here, Ami is here, the senshi are a group again rather than a lonely pair.]

Mm. It's been busy here at the temple again. With Rei-chan and Ami-chan and Chibiusa. Castiel, too.

Sounds like a full house. Are you sure you've got room? [It's kind of a stupid question, considering he's in a big empty space, but he feels he needs to ask anyway.]

[offline]

[buntails]

It's fine! We all lived here with a few other friends from home before. Just make sure to get a bath early.

[angle_on_it]

What's early? I don't want to be coming and going when you guys are sleeping. Are there common hours where everyone's awake?

[offline]

[buntails]

Everyone seems to stay up late lately; but you can go to sleep whenever you want! And get up, too. We won't make you.

I'm a bit of night owl by design. [He flattens out his bedroll and stands, brushing his hands off and loosing himself from his coat. At least he's not sick with a cold anymore, right?]

[Sokka tosses his coat down and looks back to Usagi.] Do you-- would you mind if we sat somewhere and talked? If I'm keeping you from something, it can wait, but... [He shrugs.]
