02. Gone Fishin' [action]

[angle_on_it]

[It probably hasn't escaped the attention of any familiar residents, that Sokka's already found himself feeling a little less useful than usual. Sure, he's pretty good at settling down amidst all the craziness, but that doesn't mean he's particularly comfortable with his level of usefulness. Or, in this case, uselessness.]

[He's been thinking a lot

[She's a bit toned-down today, still quiet and thoughtful after Ami leaving. Nonetheless, there's a pleasant smile.]

Maybe the fish are biting in another place.

[angle_on_it]

You think so? This was the first place I tried, but... [But he's not really interested in looking at other spots right now.]

How are you?

[Video]

[buntails]

Maybe later. [She picks up that reluctance.]

I'm alright. It's been a quiet time lately. The Animus won't do anything for a little while still.

[angle_on_it]

That's a good thing, from what I've heard. You don't exactly seem pleased, though.

[Bubbles is flying around the safe area, looking at things and adventuring.]

[She sees a familiar face over there! Why, it's Sokka! She zips over and lands beside him.]

Hi Sokka! Whatcha doing? Is this a game? Can I play?

Oh, hey, Bubbles, sure you can try. It's fishing. You know, catching fish with a hook and line. [Sokka scootches over for his new BFF and pats the rock next to him.] Have you ever tried it?

[hardcorecute]

[She plops down happily next to Sokka.] Professor took us fishing once. There were worms and the worms were sad and that made me sad. Are you using worms, Sokka?

[Offline]

[angle_on_it]

Minnows. [Aaaaand, hopefully Bubbles won't know what those are. Or the fact that they're just as alive when he uses them as worms would be.] Who's Professor?

I can just bend some fish out of the water, if you want.

[Katara is on her bed with the kitten, which is a place she admittedly spends most of her time lately.]

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

What fun is that? I'm not exactly out here because we're starving. I'm just... bored. [Sorry, Katara, someone's gotta say it.] And this is better than finding trouble, right? [Because she'd only have more reason to worry, then.]

[Video]

[kyasdaughter]

I just thought you might have wanted help is all. I could always make soup for dinner if you bring something home.

[She does fidget slightly, though.]

If you're that bored, you could always go exploring. Inside the city, I mean. Don't go to the Wastes.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

I might check it out. T-the city, I mean. [Although, he's got that distinct mischievous look on his face because, oh man, how can he ignore a place called the Wastes?]

...what's in the Wastes?

[reckless_equine]

Try using better bait, a spear, or even a net.

[angle_on_it]

I don't have any of that handy, and it's a bit of a walk just for that, but thanks for the suggestion.

[reckless_equine]

You're welcome.

[Shrugs, still acting a bit on Katara's 'be nice or else' threat.]

[angle_on_it]

[Sokka is completely oblivious to this, I'm afraid.] Do you know any place that sells nets? I could make my own, but it's a lot easier to pay someone who's already an expert in those sorts of things.

[Action!]

[angle_on_it]

Ahh--what?! [Surprised Sokka is surprised! To the point where he actually startles himself right into the water. When he resurfaces, his voice is even and low in timbre.] Hey, Aang... I didn't see you there. [He's totally not annoyed because he really should expect this by now!]

[Action!]

[angle_on_it]

It's all right, don't worry about it. [He craaaawls back up onto the rock and tries to shake off a bit of the excess water.] Out for a leisurely flight?
