[SO. Sokka. Walking around as a kid today? Walking around as a kid is prone to attract the attention of one princess who was just on a walk with her friend (or well, maybe they were out of a late lunch but the circumstances aren't terribly important) because a kid going into the Smithy is prone to attracting one's attention.

A glance from him to Silvie and then back to him and Charlotte scurries on over towards the kid because when is she not too forward]

Excuse me!

[Sylvia just gives Charlotte her look that is equivalent to a shrug, then follows. This is her friend, who can't keep to herself. This, simply put, is a regular day for her. The kid going into a Smithy doesn't strike her as particularly odd -- it's the kid's business where he goes.

But if Charlotte wants to investigate, then so be it.]

[He comes to a halt, twitches a bit, and turns back to the originator of the voice. Oh spirits. Charlotte. He can't imagine this ending well at all.]

... yes?

Are you looking for something?

[After all, both her and Silvie are taller, so they might reach it! Or that's a god excuse she makes to herself when she bends a bit to get to his level]

[ . . . There's something familiar about this child.

She still doesn't say anything, though she may or may not be giving Sokka a mildly strange look.]

[Oh great. Now she's kneeling down to his level. How much more degrading do you get? He pinches the bridge of his nose and tries not to look at anything on her that's too distracting.]

No. I'm just going to the smithy. That's it.

Oh, so you're just browsing?

[...At all the weapon things. Weird]

[Browsing is a possibility, she thinks, though Sylvia pipes up to offer her own guess.]

He could be running an errand.

[Charlotte asked if he needed anything and he said no. What if someone else needed something and had him do it? Then she gives Charlotte's suggestion a nod.]

Or he's browsing.

[He glances up at Sylvia and wonders why she's putting words in his mouth. It's not like he's some stuttering, nervous kid.]

No, I'm here because I have work to do.

...Are you sure? I don't think Sokka would hire someone as small as you...

[With a little frown]

[Well. Errand is sort of like work. At the mention of Sokka, she gives him another odd look. This kid looks like Sokka. Kind of. Sort of?]

Do you think he's related?

["Someone as small as you". He huffs at that, then takes a step back from the both of them.]

I'm not related. I am Sokka!

[...Oh.

She blinks, processing this. Silvie, you got something to add? Charlotte even stands properly now]

[ . . . Oh.

If Charle is wordless, then Sylvia is mute. She rests a hand on her hip. Okay, fine. She'll comment.]

. . . It would explain the resemblance.

southernsprout March 19 2011, 22:11:49 UTC
... yes. Yes it would.

[Idly he wonders if maybe he'd better off just pretending to actually be a kid.]

[...Okay now for the dramatic point]

But you're still too small to use all the same tools, right?
