19. Belated Celebration [video/offline] [backdated]

[angle_on_it]

[Sokka's been feeling down, despite the cheer brought on by all these holidays. He knows it's important to reconnect with his family and friends, but it hasn't been easy to find a way. Fortunately, Animus provides him the perfect excuse.]

[The familiar tents and igloos cropped up near the frozen lake early in the week, but Sokka's preparations take

I'd like to come by, if I may. I have something I've been meaning to give you.

Hermione! [Can you see his grin?] I'd love nothing more. Actually, I've got a few things for you, too. If you come after dark, the stew will be ready.

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

[Yes she can, and she's grinning back.] A-... a few things? Really? Well... all right. I'll see who else I can bring along from the house.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

Sounds perfect. Bring as many as you can manage -- bring them all if you can!

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

[She laughs a bit at that.] I'll certainly try.

[angle_on_it]

Great! I mean, uh... [Nope, he can't contain his enthusiasm.] That's great! See you soon, Hermione! [He really wants to share this place with Hermione because, oh man, he knows it's probably going to be totally different than anything she's expecting.]

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

[His enthusiasm should not be so endearing, really.] Is there anything I should bring with me?

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

Nope! I've taken care of everything else -- everything I could think of, at least.

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

Are you sure? I can always bring something in last-minute.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

[He laughs.] If it'll make you feel better, Hermione, you can bring anything you want.

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

I'd rather bring in something you need, but if you leave that option open to me, there's no telling what I might bring along.

[Video] First tag I've done in days... -_-'

[angle_on_it]

I'm pretty sure there isn't anything you can bring that I wouldn't like. [A pause and a smile.] See you soon?

[Video] Baww. ;_;'

[bookish_lioness]

I'll be testing that theory soon enough. I'll see you there, Sokka.

[offline?] Hope this is okay!

[angle_on_it]

[Of course, Sokka is busy-busy with all of his preparations. He's actually dressed in a warrior's uniform (sans wolf helmet) and he's buzzing through the center of the little camp with an arm full of other clothes, all blue and white, probably ceremonial.]

[offline] works for me!

[bookish_lioness]

[Hermione doesn't know what to expect, and so she dresses in jeans and a sweater, though she makes sure that both are blue, as she'd noticed that Sokka and Katara almost always dressed in that color (though bundled up in her coat, it's hard to tell what she's wearing). When she catches sight of Sokka, she smiles and waves, calling out his name.]

Sokka! Happy Solstice! The others should be coming by later on, unless I've been lied to.

[offline] Huzzah!

[angle_on_it]

Hermione, hey! [The young man closes the distance and gives Granger a big hug.] Happy Solstice to you, too! Thanks for coming. I'm sure the others aren't too far behind. [In fact, he's already chatted with Ginny a bit.]
