Book 16: Drained [Voice/Action]

[Voice]

[It had been easy enough to assume that Sokka had still been kidnapped - that he'd be back any day. It was worrying, but there was still the assurance of his eventual return. Except that eventually, his room was checked. And found empty. There wasn't even a sign of Foo Foo Cuddlypoops. It was hard to believe - when Aang had first gotten to Luceti, he had gotten used to Sokka being the man with the answers. And also a beard. He was like a big figure of the town. And now he was gone. Katara wasn't in a state to announce it herself, so Aang eventually did it. Making it quick and to the point.]

Hi everyone. This is Aang. I'm sorry to tell you all this, but Sokka has gone back home. I know we're all gonna miss him. I already do. But at least at home... the last time I saw him there, he was happy.

[Action]

[Aang spends some time over by the statue of Sokka's head located House 56, studying the image of his best friend. He tries to meditate and tries to imagine the inspiring words that Sokka would usually say. Because he's still afraid of being around other people. And right now, the people dear to him may need him more than ever.]

[She doesn't want company. Not Aang. Not someone who knew Sokka but knew nothing of her, really, or of what he was to her or what it meant to stick with him even when he lost the part of himself that cared about other people.

But her fear makes her need it, almost.]

I don't know.

Hmm. [She doesn't know what to think about that. On one hand, she understands it and would probably feel similarly if she, y'know, could go home without dying. On the other hand, it was the things that happened to him here that made him into the Sokka she knew -- though she doesn't know if it's selfish to think like that.

But it's not really the time to debate something like that, especially since she doesn't know what she'd debate. So, instead:]


Do you know what he's going to be up to, when he gets back? I think he said that a war had just ended, or was about to end, or something like that, but I never asked him what he was going to do after that. Does he go on to be a smith like he was here?

[Aang's concern almost makes his heart break. He's learned to be okay when people went home, over the years and the relentless number of heartbreaks, he's just learned to go numb when he hears of another one. But he can't tell that to a boy who is made for giving hope to the world.

It isn't right to put that on him.

Thank you - I'll be fine.

[ She physically shrinks back when she hears his reply, and it takes a while before she can manage to respond to him, though she sounds a good deal more timid than she did before. ]

Then you don't get to see them anymore... that's why it hurts so much. You're alone now.

[It's nice to hear about something silly in Sokka's future like the party and picture, and she smiles a little despite the situation. It's also good to hear that he's helping to deal with the after-effects of the war, but the last part startles her.]

A councilman? He's going to be a -- a politician?

[Given enough time to consider it, it won't seem so strange. But it's not what she would have guessed.]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

I just think I should be doing something more worthwhile. I feel like I'm not contributing.

Hey, Twinkletoes.

[ Toph and Aang hadn't seen much of each other these last weeks. With his fear of being around people and her fear of being left alone, it made hanging out a little hard. But this time, when she decides she's going to track Aang down and spend a second with him, she knows it's not because of some silly fear. Eventually she finds him, and she plops down next to him without really thinking about whether or not he'd like that. He could always escape, but she'd like to see him try. ]

...If you don't mind telling me about him, I'd be happy to hear it.

A story to tell...

Ummmmmmm, let's see. [ She has to think about this. ] Well, once he told us about a cool battle he had on his ship!! He fought a huuuuuuuge sea monster.

[ sure he did ]

Well, yeah! Uncle Bumi's the best captain ever!! He said he made friends with it after the battle and it became his pet!!

But then it ran away when he left the door open...

[ this is a legit and believable tale ]

[ Toph senses that subtle shift a little too keenly and frowns. ]

Is that still a problem? I was hoping we could hang out today.

[personal profile] seismicity 2013-12-06 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. I mean, at least you aren't running away really fast, anymore. [ Did he do that? Toph isn't actually sure. But she's just kidding, really. ]
