... is it strange to sometimes wish you could go home? Even if there's nothing there for you? [ nothing except death, in her case. this isn't hilariously morbid or anything, no. ]

I'm just not sure when or how things got so ... complicated. Is this just what life is like...?

[ Xion is outside ( Read more... )

lifeline: ask the audience, the world is big and scary and confusing, somber not sad, growing up is hard, sigh, i'm okay really, hiding from my bff's, thoughts, insecurity what insecurity

[There's a spring in Sokka's step today. Yeah, sure, Edward was dead - but he'd be back. He managed to cheery Winry up, despite her near death experience. But Suki and Aang were in Luceti! Two of his favorite people he hadn't seen in forever. Life was good and- wait, what's that off to his left?

... it's Xion. And she doesn't look happy. This must be what karma is like. The happier Sokka is, the more miserable his friends are? Well, he can't ignore that. He ends up walking along the bridge, leaning up against the railing next to her.]

Hey.

[Action] poppetry August 29 2010, 20:39:18 UTC

[ she blinks at him, a little surprised, before giving him a fleeting smile. ] Hi, Sokka. What brings you out here?

[Action] markofthewise August 29 2010, 20:54:21 UTC

Just making my rounds. [He smiles in return, but it's hardly forced. In fact, he's trying to keep from being too happy.] What about you?

[Action] poppetry August 29 2010, 21:07:51 UTC

... I guess I just wanted someplace quiet to think. A lot's happened, lately.

[Action] markofthewise August 29 2010, 21:10:41 UTC

[He nods at that.]

There really has. It's nice to think maybe it's all over for now.

[Action] poppetry August 29 2010, 21:15:14 UTC

... you know, that's what I kept thinking before. After I came back... but then everything happened with Sanji. Then I thought after that was over... but then the whole village went into chaos. [ her expression tightens almost imperceptibly, but her eyes are downcast. ] I thought it would end after that... but it just got worse and worse.

[ she looks so disheartened. ] I'm starting to worry it might never get better. What would I do if that happened...?

[He folds his arms in front of him on the railing, setting his sights on the drifting water.]

Even if it doesn't... you just don't give up. Even when things are bad here, there's still plenty of good things that happen here.

[Action] poppetry August 29 2010, 22:11:42 UTC

... that's what everyone said before I died. Don't give up. Keep trying. [ she brushes her hair back behind her ear. ] ... I know there are good things that happen. I'm just tired, Sokka. I wish for once that things actually would be okay. I'd like to rest, even for just a little while.

[He gives her a sullen look, that managing to knock the wind out of wherever he was going with all of that.]

I don't know, Xion. Things have been hard for everyone.

[Action] poppetry August 30 2010, 01:18:30 UTC

... I know. [ she shuts her eyes momentarily, trying to tamp down the bitterness that's been creeping up on her ever since Riku said that about the Keyblade. ] I'm sorry.

[He looks up at her and decides he can't say anything that will fix this, but he can at least solve things Team Avatar way. With a hug. So he starts to climb on the railing next to her. Once he's on, he leans over for a side hug and...]

[Aaaand starts to lose his balance.]

Gaaah!

[Action] markofthewise August 30 2010, 01:22:33 UTC

[... and splash, he falls in the river below. After some flailing in the water he finally surfaces and starts treading water.]

[Action] poppetry August 30 2010, 01:54:25 UTC

[ LDJKFAHLSDIHGADJ ] Sokka!

[ oh my god you loser what did you even just do. concerned, Xion leans waaaaaaaaaay out ....

and loses her own balance.

and promptly shrieks and falls in right beside him.

and has her own moment of flailing before she surfaces, trying to cough and laugh at the same time without much success. ]

Not again!

[Action] markofthewise August 30 2010, 01:57:43 UTC

[He's just glad she didn't fall ON him. He sputters about before realizing she's in the water too.]

Xion! Are you okay?

[Action] poppetry August 30 2010, 02:17:46 UTC

[ she's just laughing. ] I'm fine! I know how to swim.

[ she even briefly dunks her head, resurfacing so that the water pushes her hair out of her face. ]

Now I'm going to have to walk home soaking wet. Thanks, Sokka. [ jeez. that sounds more like the old Xion. ]
