... is it strange to sometimes wish you could go home? Even if there's nothing there for you? [ nothing except death, in her case. this isn't hilariously morbid or anything, no. ]

I'm just not sure when or how things got so ... complicated. Is this just what life is like...?

[ Xion is outside today, somewhere a little more quiet. She's sitting on the railing of the bridge that passes over the river between houses 14 and 35, swinging her legs gently as she holds onto the rail with one hand and the journal with her other. It ... doesn't seem terribly safe, but then again, she's used to much higher places. Feel free to startle her from her contemplation. She could use it. ]

I wouldn't know. I stopped paying attention to them about five years ago. [Best decision of his life!] Maybe you could take lessons. Learn how to just let it all out.

[ oh lol. ] Sokka, you're terrible. [ grin ] Wouldn't that be really weird, though? It's hard to even imagine! I'm not, uh, very good at being mad. [ runs a hand up one of her arms, smiling sheepishly.

ps gonna start heading for the village also so Sokka better follow. ]

[WELL FINE, GAWD. He starts following behind her.]

You could practice on me. I'll even try to pay attention. [He's already starting to zone out. Thinking about Suuuukiiii.]

But I'd feel bad. [ just gives him a sideways crooked smile. ] But thank you for the offer. [ if he zones out enough she's so gonna ask.

and then she's gonna squee. ]

[He just shakes his head, looking unconcerned.]

If you say so. Offer's still open, anytime you need to practice yelling at someone.

[ she just sorta looks at him for a moment...

then raises her hands, curling her fingers into mock claws, and bears her teeth slightly as she goes "aaaaa?"

... yeah that totally worked. fierce, Xion. ]

[His response is completely deadpan, with absolutely no reaction at all.]

Not what I had in mind, Xion.

[ lets her hands drop, trying not to smile as she shrugs. ] I think that's the best I can do.

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

Well since that went so well, if someone does give you trouble, you just tell me or Sanji. We'll take care of it.

[ that actually makes her pause a little, and she looks at him thoughtfully. then she clasps her hands behind her back and shakes her head. ]

I know you would, but ... I need to start fighting my own battles. [ literally and figuratively. ]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Hey, I can respect that. [He keeps on walking, willing to let that be.]

Still. If you just happen to not feel like it, let me know.
