It was hilarious.

[ katara's voice is emphatic and a little relieved. yes, she is definitely trying to butter him up with the mental image of zuko waterbending. ]

I think it's weird, too, but I feel alright about it. Do you know what kind of disaster it was when I tried to firebend? I ended up taping oven mitts to my hands, Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

He probably got himself soaked and then sulked all day about how [Zuko impression go: ] nothing in this world goes right for him!!!! And you just waved your glove oven hands at him like a puppet the-

...

NO WAIT, I'M STILL MAD, STOP THAT!

[kyasdaughter]

You know, you're pretty close.

[ but she's wincing over here a little. ]

Sokka, I spent a year there. A year without you, sometimes doing things that were way more dangerous than 'lending my powers to a guy for a few days.' You're going to have to trust me to make my own decisions sometimes.

[alwayscomeback]

Hey, I trust your decisions plenty. Just not the really crazy ones. Not the ones where you can get yourself hurt.

Never turn my back, remember?

[kyasdaughter]

We're in space with a hundred people who are all practically strangers. Most decisions could get us hurt.

But we have to trust each other.

[alwayscomeback]

Not like this.

[He gives a sigh, the anger shifting into something more tired. ]

I know. I do trust you, Katara. I just- [he can't lose her, too] I just want you to be safe, ok?

[kyasdaughter]

I promise I'm going to be safe.

[ at least she's apologetic now instead of aggressive. ]

Which is why I want the people here to look out for me and you. It just might mean looking out for them, first.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka gives a long suffering UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH. But at least he seems to be...mostly accepting that this is a thing. ]

Just once could you maybe not care about everyone in the universe?

[kyasdaughter]

Don't be so dramatic. That's Aang, not me.

[ but the smile she shoots him is grateful. ]

Thanks, Sokka. I'll let you know if I run into any trouble.

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know, he's rubbing off on you.

You make sure you do.
