Sokka the 63rd - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[With things returning to some semblance of normality in Luceti, things are still... awkward at home for Sokka. After revealing Yue's fate to her, he hasn't really known how to touch on that issue with her. It's not easy telling your first love that you had to move on because she basically died. It wasn't fair to her. But there was no way of fixing

[ since giles' death, buffy has been hiding out at jack's place by the ocean. but even someone in mourning needs clean clothes and so she had stolen back to the village to collect a few things.

it's on her walk back to the barracks -- and the transporter housed therein -- that she comes across sokka. and a dragon.

well.

at first she only offers a slow, half-hearted wave. but then she remembers how she had mentioned to jack that she needed to figure out what was happening with sokka and suki's little delayed to-do. so her steps slow and she hitches her duffel bag higher on her shoulder. ]

H-hey.

[He's just now pulling in a fish when Buffy arrives. He's in the process of removing the hook when he hears her. In surprise he ends up letting it slip out of his hands and it starts to flop around. Before it can get back to the water though, Toothless moves in and chomps it down in one bite.

... and then stares suspiciously at Buffy.]

Easy, dragon. That's Buffy. She's a friend. My friend. So... let's not bother her, okay?

[He turns his attention to Buffy, after stepping in front of Toothless.]

Er, hey. What brings you out here?

[slaying]

I'm -- I'm headed to the beach. Jack's got a...[ she trails off, just unsure of how to tackle that whole sentence.

so instead she stares back at the dragon. she has met him before, of course. once. during the last experiment. but she doesn't know the name. ] Who's your friend?

[Jack? Well... whatever, he can ask about that later.]

This is Toothless. But don't be fooled by his name. He does, in fact, have teeth. Lots of them. He belongs to Hiccup, from the smithy. I was asked to feed him, so... here I am. Feeding him.

[He gestures vaguely to the fishing pole and bait, which Momo is partaking of due to the distraction.]

[Sokka turns back to her, frowning but otherwise not moving. He is, however, laying up against a convenient moss-covered boulder he moved to be near the water.]

Shush! I am awake. [He rolls his eyes a bit and turns back to the water.]

You'll scare the fish away.

[markofthewise]

[He gives a casual glance over at the dragon, who is keeping an eye on Toph but not being very threatening at the moment.]

Just a dragon. I'm borrowing him.

I could use more spatulas.

[There's a small dent in her large one, leftover damage from clobbering Ryoga. But well, it was made by a legendary smith and she can't just trust it to anyone but a specialist.]

voice

[markofthewise]

... spatulas?

[What.]

Spatulas?

voice

[cutefiancee]

Of course spatulas. You've seen me cook, haven't you? I use them to fight with.

voice

[markofthewise]

But they're spatulas!

I guess we'll have to put someone on security watch for the boat.

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Do we have anyone who can do that?

[rending_drop]

Well... I'd ask Yuri to do it, but... I don't think he'd be up to that right now.

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Do you think Yuri could take Jack anyway? I've fought Jack. He's a tricky fighter.

[He's also fought Yuri, but they were both girls at the time, and it was a spar. They did not, in fact, duel on top of spinning logs.]

Um... I know it didn't work out last time, but do you think you could help me in getting a balanced sword for me?

[Of all the recruits, Charlotte is the one he's most skeptical about. Then again, she was pretty proficient in another life, so...]

Yeah, sure. Anything in particular you want? Otherwise it's probably best to use the same thing as Suki. It will be easier to learn that way.

[Filtered]

[hazelrink]

Mmhm, that would probably be best for now. [...] I'ver never seen her sword though, I think. What type is it?

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

It's a katana. It looks like... well, actually, a lot of people use them around here. It's kind of similar to my own, though curved.
