... just ask him out on a date already.

[Come on. Everyone knows hypothetical is code for 'THERE IS A BOY I LIKE'.]

[ written ]

[repudiationist]

It's not like that. [ because it's obviously not, okay? geez, Sokka, stop trying to see through obvious things!! ]

I just want to repay him for what he did for me, that's all.

[VOICE because he has no pen]

[markofthewise]

Right. Of course. Just like how people wear star fires in the winter because they look pretty.

[ written because she has too many emotions ]

[repudiationist]

So, are you going to offer actual advice or just pretend like this is some sort of romantic situation when it's nothing like that at all?

Can't a girl want to repay a guy without something more being sought behind it?

[ then this shall be how it is for all time ]

[markofthewise]

Sure, fine, if that's what you want to claim it is. If that's the case, I don't know, make him dinner or something.

[repudiationist]

At least that's a good and useful suggestion. In that case, the problem would be that I can't cook at all though, and I doubt he'd enjoy a thoroughly burned meal.

[markofthewise]

... okay. So cooking is out. What are you good at?

[repudiationist]

Nothing that would help me make a good gift for him.

[markofthewise]

Well that does kind of make it hard. So uh. What does he like?

[repudiationist]

I guess that's the easy part. He seems like the type of guy who would like pretty much anything at all, just because it's a gift.

[markofthewise]

So get him a lunch box then.

[repudiationist]

Wasn't the problem with this whole thing to start with that I felt something simple couldn't repay them?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but if you can't do anything special, just settle for something small. And then find other small things to go with it! Besides. We guys like to have somewhere to keep our lunch.

[repudiationist]

Yeah, you probably would be the expert as a guy, huh? So it's true that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?

[markofthewise]

Well I do have nearly eighteen years of experience of being one. I'm pretty good at it so far. And generally the way to make me happy is for my stomach to be full.

[repudiationist]

Eighteen years, yeah, I see, we seriously do have a real expert right here. Probably a golden medal winner in the manly olympics.

[ deadpan is much harder to convey through writing, but hey. ]

Guess in that case I should learn to cook, if all guys are like that.
