[These days, he can't help but assume that, if Anton is in with being a little bit covertly humorous, it certainly stands to reason that a skeleton might be covertly humorous to boot. So oddly enough Sokka isn't going to be puzzling over that one for that half hour.

[When the two of them finally do meet up, Sokka can't help but be just amused at Skulduggery's greeting. Or perhaps it's not the greeting itself and more that Sokka is... just perfectly comfortable with it. A skeleton figure tipping his hat and commenting on the weather? That he's okay with that is just... hilarious. And he's going to laugh.]

Well, it's better than last month, so I guess I can't complain. [That's a lie; Sokka totally could.]

Fine bit of drama we're having on the Shell to boot.

[He'll let it hang for a moment, letting the pleasantries subside slightly before getting to the point.]

And it's part of that which I've had success on. I had an... encounter. With the guy harassing kedan and stealing things from them.
