[Action] 021

[fallenambitions]

[It's sometime late into the afternoon, when the sun isn't at its highest. Alexei has gone out of the house and can be found pacing around the barracks. A lot has been on his mind lately and he wanted to find something to do to distract himself. Hiding Staying in the house can only stay interesting for so long...walking clears the mind, right?

[At the barracks? Well, that is where Katara is today. Practicing.

But not her waterbending. No. She's working through some issues, and bending is too destructive and not violent enough. So for almost the first time since she's started training, Katara is attacking a practice dummy with her knife - and not holding anything back.

Pity the dummy. It is now full of holes.]

[fallenambitions]

[Pity? He doesn't pity inanimate objects. He'll watch her do her training routine for now, since she seems to be focused with what she's doing and it's probably not a good idea to interrupt.]

[markofthebrave]

[She's getting better at her awareness of her surroundings, and when she notices that someone has entered the barracks she groans. She didn't want company right now. She executes one more strike on the dummy and turns to see who it is.

Oh. Have a nod.]

Alexei.

[fallenambitions]

Greetings. Didn't know you fought with a weapon as well.

[At the moment, Sokka is the only one in the weapon shop. In fact, he's back in the smithy working on a sword, working the metal with a hammer. He's loud enough that even an old man like Alexei should be able to hear him.]

[fallenambitions]

[Heey, he doesn't have a hearing prob-...well ok, he never listens. He notices that only Sokka was in the shop when he wanders inside. It's...not a problem, but they haven't exactly had any pleasant exchanges. If he had the option, he would ask someone else working at the weapon shop. Ah well]

Greetings, Sokka.

/pretend his face isn't insane

[The moment Sokka hears Alexei's voice from behind him, he freezes. Unfortunately the momentum of his hammer doesn't and slips out of his hand just as he is pulling his arm back. As a result, the hammer will go flying behind him as a result.

Wait, isn't that where Alexei is?]

[fallenambitions]

[He reacts in time and sidesteps out of the hammer's projected path....Can't say whatever was behind him won't break.]

Have someone not from Avatar...

[Outside the smithy in the square Stitch is hanging out with his icecream and water bottles. And the water balloons. He saw Alexei go into the smithy, and when Alexei exits the smithy he'll be greeted by a few well thrown balloons filled with water breaking over him. It is after all, a hot day, and Alexei must therefore need cooling down yes? Especially after being in that hot smithy.]

Fff Sup Stitch

[fallenambitions]

[Oi, oi! What's with the balloons!? First a hammer and now water balloons!? He's beginning to wonder, if today was a good day to go for a walk. Well, Stitch was able to get one direct hit in, but he avoids the rest of them. Now he's soaked on one side of his body...wonderful. This is not a very happy look, Stitch.]

Did you throw those balloons?

[i_like_fluffy]

[Stitch not like scary face Alexei. See this look? This look is full on innocence and seriousness.] Alexei looked hot. Stitch cool Alexei down.

[fallenambitions]

Next time, ask before you decide throwing balloons filled with water is a good idea. Otherwise you'll find yourself in a very bad situation. [His voice might have sound a little harsh...he's been in a bad mood.]
