[ Action, Voice ] .025

[Today - hadn't been so bad. Twenty of them, maybe? It sure seemed like there were a lot less out here than they'd been led to expect, and that was only a good thing because she was tired. The weight of doing this every day was getting to her. Blood had dried in clumps in her hair, and she'd been too tired to bend it out. Now as she stood in ( Read more... )

[If there's one thing Sokka is good at, it's categorizing what things should remain on the battlefield and what should stay in his special room of amazing. So when Sokka finally answers the door, he does so while wearing a strange looking striped top hat that he saw on the television and decided to request. In the background something is on the television. It should sound suspiciously familiar... like a certain play.]

Hey. [It doesn't take long to read her. She's not doing so hot.] How's it going?

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 03:37:45 UTC

[She drops her gaze and gives him a quick, assessing look.]

Good. [Peering up at that hat now.] What is on your head?

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 03:42:25 UTC

It's a... hat. Thing. I saw it in a movie. There's this cat that wears it. A talking cat. It's kind of weird. Mine doesn't have little people in it. [He shrugs at the nonsensical nature of it.] It was entertaining, anyway.

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 03:52:28 UTC

A talking cat wearing a hat. With little people in it.

[She steps forward to reach up and put her hand on his forehead.] Hmm, you don't feel like you have a temperature.

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 03:57:06 UTC

Hey, I'm fine. It's just some of the people who make these movie things are a little crazy. Some of it's even worse than the play we saw. [He steps in further into his room, she can follow him if she wants. It's been a long day and standing in the doorway is the opposite of relaxing. Lying on his massive bed with his plate of sausages, however, is the definition of relaxation.]

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 04:31:36 UTC

[She follows him in and shuts the door behind her.] What play? I never saw any play.

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 04:33:47 UTC

[... oh yeah. It had been so long, he'd forgotten that she was from his past. Something like that, it didn't seem all that important in light of life in Luceti.]

Oh... well, remember how I told you we hid out on Ember Island for the days leading up to the comet? Well, there was a play there. About our travels with Aang. It was... pretty much terrible.

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 05:05:53 UTC

[And wouldn't you know it? She walks in right during the scene where 'she' and 'Zuko' have a 'touching moment' in the cave.]

That's not what happened! How did they even - know about us being there! We were the only two people in the cave!

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 05:09:40 UTC

[You know, Sokka always wondered about that part. He never did ask, what happens next is kind of distracting. Which is why he reaches for the remote to pause it.]

Maybe there were some Dai Li nearby? Or they made it up. [He turns to her.] So what did happen?

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 05:38:34 UTC

[She stares at the screen - not really ignoring his question but not wanting to answer it either. Talking about what happened in that cave.. even with everything she'd been through with Zuko here, it would still...]

His scar is on the wrong side. Did they get anything right in this play?

[She's indignant, and it's a cover because - she can't afford to miss him.]

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 05:41:37 UTC

[It's not that big of a deal and he drops the subject for now. Her question gets him thinking about the play. After a moment, he answers.]

They cast Toph as a huge muscular guy. She seemed to enjoy that. Otherwise? No, not really.

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 05:45:53 UTC

[That wins a startled laugh which fades into a small smile.] I'm sure she did.

[She turns to him.] So why are you watching this?

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 05:48:37 UTC

I'm not. [He lifts a pair of headphones he had been using before she knocked.] I'm just recording it on the journal... [He points to a table off beside the bed where he has the journal propped up near the television.] You know, just in case. It might be fun to make fun of later.

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 18:34:33 UTC

I thought we couldn't bring anything back with us?

[Action] markofthewise July 31 2010, 20:49:06 UTC

We can't. But anything our journals can store... pictures, voices, or whatever - it stays in the journal. Sort of a handy way of sneaking stuff back, you know?

[Action] markofthebrave July 31 2010, 22:23:04 UTC

...huh. [She peers at the TV with interest now.] And you can get images from home?

[She absently touches the bracelet on her arm.]
