Sokka-kun, I am afraid your training will be put on hold temporarily. I will contact you when I am able to resume. It should only be a few days.

Ayumu-san. I do not wish to be disturbed.

... I'm not much in the mood for it anyway. Is something wrong?

It's nothing. But are you alright, Sokka-kun?

[ooc; No problem!]

Well... I kinda broke up with Suki. [It's probably been no secret during their training sessions Sokka has been trying especially hard to be emotionless.]

Because I was in love with--

[A dawning realization hits him. Why did he say was?]

A-actually, I think things might be okay.

[Thinking of Suki now... there's so many feelings there now. Remorse for what he did, certainly. But overcome by much stronger feelings. More so than the kind of that dominated a week ago.]

[Ayumu is pretty sure she knows what's going on, but if he's that determined she isn't going to try too hard to get at him. Yet.

She'll just be leaving trays with food at the door at regular intervals, and if said food also includes his favorites and additional treats, well, he can make of it what he wants to.]

[Usually the food remains untouched because he doesn't want to risk opening the door, but every so often the tray will return mostly empty. It's primarily out of guilt because he remembers that she too could disappear again and unlike the others, he would have no chance to see her again. Even so, he can't bring himself to face the others when he's not sure he can put on the happy face again.

Notably, however, the additional treats remain untouched and only that which is necessary to be eaten and cannot be preserved has been consumed.]

[Every untouched dish only makes her worry more, but... he's eating something, at least. Ayumu will simply keep leaving the trays outside his door, returning after a while to take them away whether touched or not, being careful to make it quite audible when she comes and goes. And even if he isn't eating them, the sweets still appear on the tray, something different each time.]

[The next time she comes by, she'll find Saizou sitting outside the door. The pig is sniffing at the untouched tray, but won't eat it because hey, even pigs know better.

However, as she gets closer the door will open slightly and Okita appears momentarily as he waits for the pig to come back inside.]
