[angle_on_it]

[Sokka's been feeling down, despite the cheer brought on by all these holidays. He knows it's important to reconnect with his family and friends, but it hasn't been easy to find a way. Fortunately, Animus provides him the perfect excuse.]

[The familiar tents and igloos cropped up near the frozen lake early in the week, but Sokka's preparations take

[What's video? Suki just shows up wearing this. Well, a version of it. And she's walking up to Sokka, smiling.]

Hey there.

[angle_on_it]

Suki! Wow, ah... I see you dressed for the occasion. You look-- well, you look amazing. Like you'd fit right in back home. [He steps in a places a kiss on her cheek.] Are you sure you're warm enough? I could get you a coat...

[fanismighter]

Sokka. [You're making her blush.] I guess it's kinda cold right now. DId you bring an extra one?

[angle_on_it]

There's a whole tent full of stuff! [He takes her hand and pulls her through the snow and past the stew pot over the file. There are quite a few tents (and a couple igloos) around, but Sokka already knows where he's taking her.]

[He tugs her through the tent flaps and shows off the inside. All around them are different options for ceremonial garb, all differing slightly. Sokka picks a nearby coat, holding it up for her.] See? There's lots to choose from!

I'd like to come by, if I may. I have something I've been meaning to give you.

Hermione! [Can you see his grin?] I'd love nothing more. Actually, I've got a few things for you, too. If you come after dark, the stew will be ready.

[bookish_lioness]

[Yes she can, and she's grinning back.] A-... a few things? Really? Well... all right. I'll see who else I can bring along from the house.

Sounds perfect. Bring as many as you can manage -- bring them all if you can!

[courageousrider]

It sounds a little like Saturnalia.

[angle_on_it]

Really? What's Saturnalia celebrate?

[courageousrider]

[She grins slightly.] The winter solstice. We sort of have two.

[angle_on_it]

Ooooh, neat! What sort of things do you guys do to celebrate?

[feel_nevermore]

Happy Winter Solstice Celebration then, Sokka.

[angle_on_it]

Thanks, Raven, you too. Are you interested in some stewed seaprunes or maybe trying on a traditional Water Tribe outfit?

[feel_nevermore]

[Here Sokka, have Raven's 'You're kidding me, right?' look.] I... think I'll pass.

[angle_on_it]

Awwwww, c'mon, Raven. No strings attached, you know? Just a little celebration.

[coraltaijiya]

Anything to bring?

[angle_on_it]

Just you! Shouldn't be so hard, right?

[coraltaijiya]

You know you don't have to do this.

[angle_on_it]

I want to. It's a time for celebration, right?
