In the engineering room...
Paige will probably be upset that he snuck out without alerting her, but Sokka woke at dawn and stays up. Now? He's obsessively checking over the plans for the balloon, darting outside to check the baskets before popping back in. There's something heavy in his pocket that he reaches in to finger now and then, and his neck is bare, the bone necklace absent.
But he's there at dawn. And when he's memorized the plans, it's time to sharpen both the boomerang and the knife.
