[Video] oo1

[Sokka's face is scrunched up and his tongue is just poking out of his mouth as he jabs at a few things and then pulls back with a grin.]

There! It...is set up, right?

I'm not going to just be talking to some...what is this thing called again?

[He squints and gives another jab before shrugging.]

Anyway, I know there's other people around, so hi! Hello! I'm Sokka, just some guy currently hoping that he's doing this ri--[And the video and all sound cut off as Sokka touches something that clearly makes it end recording.]

And now we don't have to wait to see each other. [Yue gives his hand a gentle squeeze in return and starts to walk. She isn't sure where they're going, but there isn't really a goal destination here, right?]

[Sokka's still a mixed bundle of nerves and total happiness with a mixture of mind blown. He's freely holding Yue's hand and they're walking along together. He likes this. He likes it a lot and he links their fingers together. Okay, Sokka is totally now a hand holder and he is fine with this.

The area around them was great and reminded him of the Northern Tribe, but he'd seen a little of it and was interested in seeing some more and with Yue it would be fun.]

I don't know if this sounds weird or not but before coming here, I'd always talk to you.

[Not necessarily weird, but certainly confusing. She's the moon in the time Sokka is from, isn't she?]

You did?

[Sokka's face may have just gotten a little redder, but he nods and looks to her.]

Didn't matter what kind of night it was, if I could I'd say hello. Sometimes tell you how things are going even though you could see it, it's always better when someone tells you the story.

Oh.

I'm sure I appreciated hearing your stories, even if I couldn't actually tell you. [Yue may not be the moon yet, but she knows she'd always enjoy talking to Sokka... although it would probably be a very one-sided conversation.]

I like to think you did. But here we can actually have conversations. I'll try to keep them a little more uh...interesting.

Oh hey, so will we get something to eat?

[She smiles. Whatever conversation Sokka would have in mind, Yue is fairly certain that he'd find some way to make it interesting.]

Oh... yes, that would be nice. [Right, that was part of the reason why they went walking in the first place.]

[He smiles and leads her on to go and find somewhere that they could eat and try out the food here. It was kind of like back home with how places looked, so maybe it would be similar.

They go a little further in to the market area and he looks for stalls.]

See anything that grabs your eye, I'll get it, k?

All right. [It isn't very long before she picks something out - she's getting pretty hungry, after all.]

It have to say, it's... comforting that this place is similar to the Northern Water Tribe. [Not similar enough for it to really feel like home, but it's better than being stuck in a completely foreign environment.]

Yeah it makes it kind of easier I guess. Bet they have similar kinds of food as well. Might be asking a bit much but hey, you never know, right?

[It's better than it resembling the Southern Tribe which is...kind of barren. At least it's not as jarring if it had been a different sector.]

They do, actually! Not the same, but it's similar. The other day Asami took me out to get food around here - a lot of it seemed like what we had back home.

[Oh, yeah. She's forgetting something, isn't she?]

... Do you know Asami?

Really? Oh man that is such a relief. I mean trying things is great and everything, but sometimes I just really crave some of the home comforts.

[He taps his lip and hums, trying to think.]

Yeah, before coming to meet you we spoke. Future girl, right?

[Yue nods.]

Yes, that's her! I met her shortly after I arrived.

It's... still a bit odd to think about what happens in the future, but at least the Fire Nation is no longer in control.

She seems pretty cool. Kinda hides a lot about the future though.

[That sure is a pout.]

Apparently we're all famous! I'm kinda hoping there's a statue of me somewhere looking amazing. Maybe holding my sword or boomerang. OH! Or both! Like crossed over and looking all serious!

[Yeah, that gets her to laugh a little. Your enthusiasm is infectious, Sokka.]

I'm sure any statue of you would look amazing. [~~Except he doesn't get one sob forever.~~]

[He grins and it's really great to hear her laugh.]

Aw that's sweet, thanks Yue. [Aw god the heartache!]

[The laugh dies down, but she's still smiling.]

... It's good to have you here, Sokka. [She's said it before, but still. She means it just as much. Even if Asami is from her world, it's good to have someone here that she actually knows.]

[He ducks his head some and his cheeks ache but are also taking on some colour as watches his feet. Yue was amazing and he was so happy she was here, physically here.]

Same. I'm really glad that you're here as well, Yue.

[... This is nice. All of it. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, Yue's glad she can spend time with Sokka like this. It's certainly more than what they'd be able to do together back home.]

Maybe this place won't be so bad after all.

Yeah? I think I can get used to it.

[He doesn't bite his lip this time instead he just gives Yue's hand a little squeeze and stops at a stall.]

Hey look! They have dried seaweed!

They do. [That's nice! Something else that reminds her of home, just a little bit.]

I wonder if I could do something with it. [...] Although I've never cooked with seaweed before. Or cooked.

[Oh right, Princess. Sokka grins and leads her to the store.]

I'll show you. I'm not amazing at it, but I can make an okay broth for seaweed noodles and fish.

[She follows behind Sokka, still holding his hand.]

Oh, that could be nice! I've always wanted to learn how. [Even if it doesn't end up very good, trying to learn would still be an experience.]

We can do that instead of going somewhere then? Unless you want to go somewhere I mean. I'm okay with whichever, but I'm gonna get some of the seaweed anyway.

[He's maybe blabbing a little bit but he smiles at the stall owner and purchases some seaweed.]

Maybe we could give it a try? And if it doesn't work out, we can always go back out again. [With someone who's never cooked before, something turning out badly is always a risk.]
