Sokka the 14th - [Sneaky Action]

[markofthewise]

[Early Valentine's morning before the sun is even up, Sokka will be sneaking about through town leaving some presents on the doorsteps of a select group of people. Under the mistaken belief he has to get all the girls he knows something for this very, very tedious holiday, Sokka has gone out on deliveries. He'll be knocking on the doors of the

[After picking up the basket of chocolates, Winry makes her way to Sokka's house. She'll be demanding an explanation for this. She's kind of hot-headed, so this time she by-passes embarrassed and goes straight to angry. Well, not angry. Just kind of upset and really confused. She bangs on the door.] Sokka!

[Ah! That will be the sound of someone happy, right? Having no time to simply finish his much needed breakfast, Sokka will head over to the door and answer it. His bowl of cereal in hand and his mouth still stuffed, he'll greet her with something sounding like:] Woorry?

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

Explain this. [Winry holds the card Sokka made between her index and middle fingers up to his face. She doesn't sound too amused, because if this is a joke then she'll probably want to hurt him. If not, then she's got no clue what the hell's going on.]

Action

[Sokka stares at it for a second, then it becomes entirely clear. He takes the card and turns it towards her and gestures to the drawing.] You can't tell? That's you! See how I gave you the automail arm shooting electricity? [Jeez, everyone is a critic. Is his art really that bad?]

Action [1/2]

[crytearsofjoy]

Well that's very nice and all, but you see you've got the port all wrong-- [And she's about to go on about his inaccuracy when she remembers what she came for.]

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

No, Sokka! I meant what's up with the basket of chocolates?!

Action

[markofthewise]

[Uh uh, she isn't happy. Who knew she was so picky?] You don't like chocolates!? I should have gone for beef jerky...

Action

[wings_thatwait]

[She face palms, thinking that maybe Sokka didn't exactly understand what this holiday was about. Almost like how she had no idea what Christmas was when everyone started talking about that. No, Sokka. I like chocolate. But why'd you give them to me?

Action

[markofthewise]

Well that's easy! Holiday obligations! Do you know how many of those baskets I had to fill up? Frankly, I'm kind of glad we never had to worry about this back in the South Pole.

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

But-- you're only supposed to make one. For someone special.

Action

[markofthewise]

[That does seem to make a lot more sense. He thinks about that for just a bit.] Is that why you were mad?

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

I thought you were trying to pull off a stupid joke.

Action

[markofthewise]

[Oh...] I may like my comedy, but I wouldn't joke about that.

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

[Aw, now she feels bad. It was just a misunderstanding. Winry feels the card between her fingers and smiles.] Thanks for the candy.

Action

[markofthewise]

Hey, think nothing of it! But uh, would you like to come inside? It's cold out there. [He takes another bite of that cereal he's been carrying the whole time.]

Action

[crytearsofjoy]

[With a heavy sigh she blows the bangs out of her eyes and shrugs. She had nothing else better to do.] Sure.
