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.]

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.

[Only if she gets to buy something nice for him in return!]

Good. [And off they go!] I'm glad everything has finally calmed down, though.

Things were... hectic, for a while.

Yeah, same. I'm glad that you're okay as well. [Pause.] You are okay, right? No one hurt you, did they? [He'll break their...arms.

He walks along holding Yue's hand and when they start coming into the market area. So many things, Yue! So many!

He likes bags :|]

[Bags are always good.]

Well, I was hurt a little bit when we were all meant to be controlling the crowds, but I'm fine now.
