She agreed to help Katara's spirit, so she was looking around the Cooper farm for her brother, and give him a message.

"Hey Sokka? You around here anywhere?"

Comments

Yes. Yes he is. Well -- not the one the Katara saw, but that's always a risk you run by shouting 'Sokka' without clarifying which.

"...whah?"

The boy who sticks his head out of the bunker looks a lot like Katara, except that he's dressed in red silks instead of blue leathers.

Also, Katara did not look like she'd just crawled out of bed.

"...soffamfmy name?"

[gbdaughter]

Well, Maria was still learning who's who around, and so forgot to account for multiple Sokkas.

"Oh, are you Sokka? Katara's brother?"

[lemur_sitter]

"Ye--" Sokka starts to say, and then she says Katara's brother and he's wide awake and not smiling any more.

"... I'm Sokka."

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS SISTER. HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT NAME. WHO EVEN ARE YOU. Nope, definitely not smiling.

[gbdaughter]

Maria's the daughter of a shrink so she's picked up some psychology knowledge herself. She took a step back, and held her hands up.

"Take it easy, I'm a friend. I'm just trying to help her out. People call me Maria."

[notanoptimist]

There's another person answering to that name after a while, though this one comes out of an earth bunker and is wearing funny goggles.

"Yeah? I'm Sokka-- uh, a Sokka."

[gbdaughter]

By now, Maria was blinking after meeting another and realizing it was a different Sokka then the one Katara scared away.

"...How many Sokkas are there around here? Were you the one Katara scared away?"

[notanoptimist]

With the first question, Sokka's grinning. "Two here. Another one somewhere else."

With the second one, he's-- well, he's definitely not smiling. It's more along the lines of shock and alarm. "...what?"

She was real?

[gbdaughter]

"Katara? Your sister who's now a ghost? She says she's sorry for scaring you away."
