Sokka... I don't think it's good to keep watching them that long.

[Sokka is waiting at the forge, as promised. He's got the fire going (which is his only source of heat right now,) but he's waiting outside in the snow, bare arms exposed so he can enjoy the crisp air.]

[She approaches the building a bit hesitantly, and pauses when she spots Sokka waiting outside.]

Sokka? I'm not late, am I?

[offline] angle_on_it November 2 2011, 05:42:13 UTC

No, you're just in time. [But he still isn't moving inside.] I'm sorry if I upset you earlier.

[She takes a few tentative steps closer, but finds herself looking off to the side.]

I don't know what to say lately.

[offline] angle_on_it November 2 2011, 06:18:16 UTC

That makes two of us. All I can manage are apologies anymore. [He sighs.] Want to go in?

[offline] buntails November 2 2011, 06:33:12 UTC

[She spares him yet another apology by a quick nod. She even finds a real, pleasant smile.]

Let's go in. It'll be nice and warm.

[offline] angle_on_it November 2 2011, 23:27:42 UTC

Warm enough, at least. [Sokka turns and waits by the door for her. Inside, he's got the strawberry (sorry, Usagi, there's no plain) milk heating slowly by the fire.] If it's too late for you to stay, you can always take your drink home with you.

[Hey, plain would be boring, right? Usagi shakes her head.]

I want to stay. [Her eyes look for a chair; always lazy, this one.]

[There isn't a lot of comfort to be had at the forge, unfortunately. Sokka takes his stool and sets it down for Usagi.] I can open the furnace if you're still cold. It doesn't bother me, but I know other people don't like it.

[offline] buntails November 3 2011, 01:17:49 UTC

[She shakes her head again, determined to go along with whatever Sokka normally does here.]

It's fine like this.

[offline] angle_on_it November 3 2011, 01:22:30 UTC

Okay.

[Augh. So awkward. This isn't normal for them and it bothers Sokka. He frowns, glad his back's turned as he starts adding bits of chocolate to the warming milk.]

I'm really sorry if I've upset you, Usa... It was never my intention.

[offline] buntails November 3 2011, 01:28:21 UTC

[It's a accumulation of strangeness, and some that doesn't have anything to do with him but that he makes her worry about her fears repeating.]

It's alright. Do you feel a little better?

[offline] angle_on_it November 3 2011, 01:50:14 UTC

I'm not sure what I feel anymore. It's all relative, right? Some days are better than others, but in retrospect, they're all bearable.

[offline] buntails November 3 2011, 02:00:41 UTC

You've had a lot of things happening lately.

[offline] angle_on_it November 3 2011, 06:31:52 UTC

Doesn't everyone? [Seems like it never ends in Adstringendum... probably because it doesn't.] I only have one cup, so I hope you don't mind drinking alone.
