03 [Video]

[There are two things immediately noticeable about Yue when the video comes on. The first is that she's wearing her hair down, instead of the usual Water Tribe braids and hair loopies. The second is that she looks nervous. ... More than usual, anyway.]

I was wondering. [Um.]

We all have duties that need tending to back in our own worlds, yes? But... if we can't really return to those lives, even if we went home. Um. [Almost absently, she starts touching the betrothal necklace around her neck.]

It wouldn't be abandoning those duties if you tried to pursue your own life here... would it?

[This was only slightly prompted by her earlier conversation with Steph. Really, it's been something Yue has been worrying about for a while now. She knows if she goes home, it'll be to become the new Moon Spirit. So, really, trying to make a life for herself and just acting as Yue instead of Princess Yue shouldn't be so bad.

Of course, that hasn't stopped her from feeling guilty about it, either.]

[Sokka's watched the video and spent some time thinking about it. He saw the way her hair was down, and he couldn't lie that his heart skipped a little beat when she touched her betrothal necklace. Not sure if it was jealousy or not. Hahn didn't deserve her.]

I think that you should...that you should go with what your heart tells you. I mean we're stuck here for the time being, things are different here. I don't think it's really abandonment.

[Sokka scratches his chin and his brow creases.]

That makes sense, right? I mean...The war is still going on back home and yeah it's hard being here and not being able to help but...I can't do anything about that.

[Going with what her heart tells her to do would certainly make things easier, at any rate.]

It makes sense. [It made sense in regards to accepting this place as a second chance, and it should be the same in this case. She sighs.]

I don't know. There isn't much I can do, but a part of me feels like I'm still somehow doing something wrong. [And she hates that she feels this way.]

You aren't. Well, I don't think you are. I mean...here there's the moon, and you weren't brought here as a spirit, so it can't be because you haven't become the moon. And...we're on a turtle swimming about so...there's no Water Tribe.

[He shrugs and goes quiet for a moment. He was meant to be going somewhere with this, but...well he sorta lost it.]

There isn't any commitments here?

No, I suppose not. [She laughs a little weakly.]

I suppose I'm so used to always having to do things for other people. Wanting to do something for myself just feels strange.

[Sokka grins, now this he can really help with!]

Then I'll be here for you until it feels natural!

[No, she's not blushing at all. That's just his imagination. Totally.]

I'm glad. Hopefully it won't take too long for everything to feel more natural.

[Her blush is totally contagious. So he grins more to try and cover up.]

A day, week or year, not going to go anywhere. You deserve to be happy and feel it.

[O-oh.]

Thank you. I... think you deserve to be happy, too. We both do.

Alright, so we'll both work on being happy and feeling as okay here as we can.

[Okay, that gets some more sincere laughter from her.]

I think I like that plan.

Great! Then it's settled!

We'll just take it easy and one step at a time.

Maybe we could start by doing an activity together? [Nope she will never let that go. It's too cute.]

[The dorky grin fades into a pout.]

That wasn't my finest moment.

[Sokka may be pouting, but Yue's still grinning.]

I liked it.

[Tiny peak of a smile.]

Really?

Of course!

It was... interesting, for a first impression. [But a good kind of interesting!]

[Oh good! That's a relief to know. Sokka smiles and shifts a little.]

Then let's go! [He's eager :|]

[That's okay, she can handle eager.]

Good! Where should I meet you?

I can meet you outside your suite?

All right, I'll see you there! [AND off goes the video. Whenever Sokka arrives, she'll be waiting right outside her suite.]

[Sokka may have taken a few minutes after the video ended because he had to check his hair and make sure his clothes looked okay. Today he'd put on his Water Tribe clothes that he'd kept and then left. He ran to Yue's suite and came to a slow stop with a grin. He'd brought his boomerang since he didn't trust this place at all after everything that had gone on.]

Hey! Sorry had to [He pauses and tries to think of something cool to say.] Clean...up. [...smooth.]

[Very smooth.]

That's all right. [She grins and reaches to grasp Sokka's hand.]

Ready?

[He smiles when they hold hands and he nods. He'd tried to think of activities that would be fun for them to do. He doesn't know what to do with girls...shopping was an activity, right?]

Ready when you are.

[Anything is good for Yue, really, as lot as it helps to take her mind off things.]

It'll be nice to do something, for a change. Especially after everything else that's happened. [Because seriously, staying inside except for work is no fun.]

[Sokka's good at distracting people and begins to walk closer into the city. He'll buy her something nice.]

Alright then, we'll go shopping and have some fun.
