[ action ] while they let us have these

[markofthebrave]

[Yeah, well. Katara is home already like a sensible Water Tribe person. And has been giving increasingly worried glances at the windows. Hopefully he was smart enough to stay at the smithy. She knows he's got a store of food there. But he'd let her know that, right? Her journal is open.

She's not going to distract him if he's walking home or otherwise stupid, but... yeah, she's going to go and do something if he doesn't get home or she doesn't hear from him soon.]

[ action ] for now, anyway

[markofthewise]

[By the time he realized he should have stayed in the smithy, it was too late to pen a message. But he could navigate this. He'd walked through worse before. And he was younger and scrawnier then. This? This he could do. Even with bags of food in his arms.

But it takes far longer than it should and he stops at the wrong house more than once before he finally makes it. When he does, he's ready to go find somewhere to collapse. Crazy, crazy, CRAZY weather.]

I think. I think maybe everyone off fighting are the lucky ones.

[She is so not happy with you. You worried her!]

What were you doing out there?

[He's going to brush off all that snow before he starts getting rid of these extra layers.]

Walking. It picked up a lot faster than I thought it would.

[sokkafangirl]

...It's hard to believe it's really been that long for any of us. No wonder people start to think they won't go home at all...

[It's a depressing realization.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Seriously. I mean, at this point, I have to remind myself that wings aren't normal.

[Voice]

[sokkafangirl]

I wonder if that's why it's so common to forget this place when people get sent home. I mean, if this became normal, our real lives would seem pretty strange.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah it would get pretty weird if all of a sudden I turned around and said, "Guys you won't believe what I've been up to for the last two years!"

[Voice]

[sea_king_bait]

I... could make you some extra food, if you need it, Sokka-chin.

[A lot of her friends are going to this draft. She's no fighter, but if she can help out, in any way, she'll do it gladly.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

It's not so much the making food. It's the having the food so it can be made.

[Not that he doesn't appreciate the offer.]

[Voice]

[sea_king_bait]

Oh! Well that makes things easier, then. The cooking is the hardest part!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, it's definitely the part I don't usually do. But if you're planning on making food for me, you're probably going to get stranded at my place.

[voice]

[gardenerofgaia]

They've been around since I've been here, but they're pretty recent for Luceti... I hope there'll come a time again when the Malnosso don't take drafts.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

I think the more optimistic approach would be 'come a time without the Malnosso'.

[voice]

[gardenerofgaia]

Without the Third Party, too. So we could be really free here and not have any bullies around!

[voice]

[markofthewise]

[... he would classify them as quite a few pegs higher than 'bully' on the evil meter.]

Well. Yeah, them too. That goes without saying.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

What about a consultation?

[... okay so he felts awkward but oh well]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

A consultation?

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Yeah, about something I want to know about improving.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Okay... what is it? [Because this sounds. Odd.]
