[Since Katara is dragging him around to help rescue people, Sokka splits off to check up on one of his closest friends and the house that happens to be, well, lacking in skilled fighters. Sokka manages to cut down the weak enemies relatively easy and nearly goes for the bird until he recognizes it as Fenimore's. A cursory scan around the area finds Fenimore herself in the water. The way she's sitting there is not good and he starts to wade into the water himself.]
[That, at least, gets her to move. For a moment, her head slips a little lower still, as a sort of facepalm without the palm. When he gets back, she lifts and turns her head just enough that her eyes are visible so that she can give him a look that is about one step removed from a glare.
She nearly says nothing happened, but changes her mind at the last second. Her eyes dart down to the left.] I don't want to talk about it.
[He frowns. Fenimore has always been a hard nut to get to open up, but he'd though by now that for this kind of thing they could, well, talk about things.]
[She twists to face him, her arms unwrapping from her legs and her hands palm-up with curved fingers in a gesture of angry questioning of his reasons. Sort of щ(ﾟДﾟщ)]
Do you have to know everything about me? Maybe I just want to sit and...and... [brood] not have to think about...about stupid things!
[She recognizes that he's just asking her about it because he wants to help her by getting her to talk about it. But it feels better to yell at someone about it rather than having to deal with her real feelings about it.]
[She's upset, so he's going to let that pass. He'd never sought out to know everything about her. It just... happened.]
Weren't you thinking about them anyway?
[He doubts she was sitting down in the water, head bowed, and ignoring surrounding monsters so she could think about her next trip to the grocery store, after all.]
I was trying not to think about anything until you came along.
[She hadn't done too badly at it, actually; thinking about nothing was something she picked up in her dungeon days. But she hadn't been completely successful.
She returns her arms to around her knees and stops looking at him, but she doesn't turn away from him entirely.] What do you care, anyway?
Fenimore?

Is something wrong?

[She's probably not very convincing, though.]

You're sitting in the water letting your pet do all the fighting. Aren't you worried about your hair getting all glowy?

Hold that thought.
[He walks away, finds himself a nice large stone by the water, and then plops it in the water next to her. NOW he can sit down.]
Okay... What happened?
