[Recently, Moro brought a whole pile of firewood from the depths of the forest for the village to use, as needed.

Today, San can be seen carrying some of it away from the pile. She moves significantly smaller quantities at a time, of course. And she seems to be, essentially, taking it back into the forest. It also takes her much longer than Moro to

[Sokka was going to grab some more before it was all gone, but...]

Uh... aren't you doing the opposite of what Moro was doing?

[forestpride]

No. [shows what you know, Sokka.]

Bring some with you. [you have been conscripted.]

[markofthewise]

[He frowns. Okay, she probably has a good reason for it, but he's failing to see what. He picks up a small bundle. No sense putting himself out too much if he doesn't know why.]

Okay, why am I bringing wood again?

[forestpride]

For the human waiting house in the forest.

[markofthewise]

Oh! The New Feather stations. [Okay, yeah, he scoops some up.]

Good idea. I kinda had to make use of one of those myself not too long ago.

[forestpride]

You're not new.

[a beat]

You used it as a den? To mate?

[markofthewise]

Wh-what!? Why would you say that! I- we, it was cold and we were wet. So we needed a place to warm up, that's all!

[forestpride]

And did you take wood from the forest for your fire?

[markofthewise]

Yeah. I went back and cleaned up... added some more wood.

[Mostly cleaned up. A loooot.]

[forestpride]

This wood is better.

[markofthewise]

Really? Because... it looks pretty much like, you know, just wood.

[forestpride]

This wood is already dead, and usable.

[markofthewise]

So was the wood I used! Believe it or not, I've started fires. I know about these kind of things too.

[forestpride]

Fires that destroyed parts of the forest?

[markofthewise]

[...]

Yes. That's me, Sokka the guy who starts forest fires. It's kind of a secret hobby of mine. You've caught me.

[forestpride]

I don't know what you do in your world, aside from hunting badly.
