[Not even meat what the hell, Shiro. Still, it's food and if Sokka turned down a meal you know something is drastically wrong with him. His left arm is still bandaged up into a sling, but hey, he still has one hand to eat with and that's what matters.]
Well, I've been better, but I'm pretty sure I've been worse, too. See? It's all bandaged up and healing.
I do see. At least it looks like you aren't in pain. [Unless Sokka is quiznaking high right now.] Tell me what happened?
[Always ready to lend an ear! And his hands this time, preparing some bread with jam for Sokka to eat so his arm can rest. Take it, he isn't going to feed you too.]
There are people with healing powers, you should ask.
[He winces when he hears that. Stupid dumb planet, hurting all the people he cares about.]
Sorry, buddy. Those Vizieri were tough and merciless, it was hard to survive those fights without at least a bruise. [He looks down at his metal hand, frowning, but then he shakes his head once and looks at Sokka again.] At least nobody from your crew was taken?
There are many "guys", Sokka, you should see at least one. Why haven't you already?
[That may've been a little too intense. Silly people, keeping their wounds when they could be healed in an instant! Tsk.]
But I'm glad everyone go out okay. Good job out there, buddy. [He puts an arm around Sokka's shoulders, bringing him closer for a half-hug or a comforting nudge. Whatever. At the questions, he sighs.] The Blameless got boarded, but we're fine. We fought them off.
You're using the tone again. And I've been busy, making sure my crew is set and okay.
[Not the ENTIRE reason, but a good sized part of it. He laughs at the action, aww, you're okay, Shiro. Even with THE TONE.]
Oh man, really? How many? None of them came near the Blue Fish, thankfully, but we had our door locks reinstalled pretty much as soon as we could get power to 'em. Glad you guys got through it ok.
If that tone is "worrying about a friend" then yes, I am. I understand checking on your crew, but after that you need to check yourself, too. [Today in another exciting episode of Shiro is a hypocritical fuck...
But hey, at least Sokka is laughing. Success? He thinks? (Are you laughing at him, Sokka...)]
I don't know. [He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.] Tons of them. It was messy and they kept coming, I wasn't exactly counting them.

[So maybe kind of high but hot cactus-juice high. He'll just take the proffered food in case Shiro does try to feed him. ]
I got surrounded. One of them jumped me from behind and stuck a spear in my arm.

Nah, we all got out okay and that's what matters. I can live with a battle wound or two if it keeps them safe. Not the first time, won't be the last.
[He noticed that look, buddy.] ...How about you?

[The answer there is BOTH YES AND NO. And yes, he's gonna call you out because he already knows what the answer is.]
That sucks. But you guys are all okay, right? How about your ship? Need any help with it?
[Here he is. Not resting. ]
no subject
[...what. It's a valid answer! And speaking of Captains being Captains...]
We're fine, Sokka. I want you to concentrate on you and your arm. See a healer. The ships are being worked on, and my order can wait.
[The birthday gift is already late anyway.]
no subject
Okay, okay. I'll go get healed right now, will that make you happy and make you stop making that face?
no subject
Yes, seeing a friend not hurt wold make me very happy. And I bet your crew will be relieved, too.
no subject
OKay, okay. I get it. You can quit with the heart-string tugging, I'll get it looked at.
no subject
[But here, Sokka, have another slice of bread with weird yet delicious jam.]
But thanks for listening. Do you want me to send you my order through text later, then?
no subject
Yeah, sure, I can get work on it once I've been healed.
