I'll be on my second birthday here soon. But I guess it's not been all bad. I've learned a ton of stuff. I'm a better hunter, warrior, smith, and everything.
[But what really sells it is how good things are with Suki now. Otherwise this would have a more depressed taint to it, due to this being the fourth year he's grown a year and his dad wasn't there for it.]
Yeah, but I figure I need something else to do between seasons anyway.
Exactly. Well I mean there's school and hanging out with your friends and stuff, but mostly it's all about hobbies. It's kind of a trade-off that way. We get all the free time in the world, they get to control us whenever they want.
Home was...weird up until recently. [That's about as vague as she can make it.] But I mean like...sometimes I think I'm the only one who's really okay with being here.
Well I'm probably happier here than I was at home. But until recently, home was in the middle of a war. I'd be happier now at home, because that's all in the past. [Okay so no, he can't really relate.]
Okay so yeah, that pretty much makes being stuck here suck more. I guess the only reason I'm happy to be here is because I can run my own business and get practice in before I go back, and the people I've met. Otherwise...I'd be completely okay heading back to Shibuya.
Oh, well yeah. I figure being here isn't too bad. Even better if I can take back all my awesome skills back with me. But I wouldn't want to stay here forever.

Do you think you're better at everything just because you've grown, or because you've had more time to practice everything, Sokka?

I guess a lot of both. It's not like we have anything to do but hobbies here, right?

I wouldn't exactly call it a fair trade off, but we don't get much of a choice.

It's actually pretty far from fair, but I'm trying to keep positive here.

Fair enough. So what about you? Changed for the better?

I like to think so. I'm a lot happier here than I was at home, is that weird?

...wait, did the war end before you came here? Or did somebody else tell you it was over?
