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.]

Action ; forever the latest
[ 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. ]

[He says with a bit of a quiver in his voice. He's heard from some people by now, and he's feeling like he's in a relatively better place regarding his issues. But he does still feel that uncomfortable fear running down his spine. And he does find himself subtly over slightly, away from Toph.]
Action ;
Is that still a problem? I was hoping we could hang out today.

R-right! [He gives a nervous laugh.] Yeah... Now I'm just - just a sitting monk!
So... How are you, Toph?
[Making conversation! It's a step.]
Action ;
Eh, could be better. Kinda bored, I guess. [ The house just seems so quiet. Sokka had such a presence. ]
Action ;
[It's either mope or help one of the mope-ees around casa de Avatar today.]
Action ;
I think it's the weather. It's getting way too cold out there and in here to do anything fun. [ Excuses, excuses. ]
