Gone fishing [Open]

[theregularguy.livejournal.com]

It was, all things considered, a pretty good day. Sokka had decided to take the day off and spend the day doing something he loved: fishing. He wasn't sure if there were actually any fish in the river that ran through the city now, but that wasn't really the point. The point was that he had a body of water and a stick with a piece of line that was baited with a worm. He was happy to sit beneath the artificial sun, hat pulled over his eyes and stick held easily in his hands as he idled the day away. True, he could have done this in the Sensoriums but that wouldn't be the same. Real water was just more satisfying. And maybe he'd go for a swim later.

All in all it was shaping up to be a pretty good day.

"...and get shoved into the water."

"Huh?" He sat up, eying Nura suspiciously.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Nura beamed like the cat who caught the canary. "Nothin. You just looked too serious."

"Look, lady. I don't even know who you are. But you show up, ask about Aang, call my sister your sister, insult me when I tell you why I won't talk about Aang and then vaguely threaten to throw me in the river. If you're gonna be this obtuse and strange, I think it'd be better if you left me alone." Sokka stared at Nura as if she were rather unhinged.

"Seriously."

"Who said that I'd push you into the river? Don't put words into my mouth, kid. All I've asked is that you tell me a little about Aang, and that can anything from his full name to his favorite hobby. Second. Yes. Katara is my little sister. She's the closest person I have to a sister on this ship. She's your sister by blood, fine. But I think you have some issues with her changing." Nura narrowed her eyes at him.

"How else am I supposed to take that? And I've told you I'm not going to talk about Aang. If you want to know about him, you can ask him yourself." Sokka let his rod drop to the riverbank and stood, stretching almost lazily.

"And she's my sister. I don't agree with everything she's done or what this place is doing to her, but she's still my sister. I love her and that's pretty much all there is to it, so I don't appreciate a stranger like you butting into my family and acting like you know all about what's happening with us. You're not my sister no matter what you think you are to Katara. My suggestion? Stay out of it. Aang and Katara can both take care of themselves without help from you."

"I'm trying to understand Katara better. You seem to think you know what's going on in my head. That's nice. Really kind of you to put more words in my mouth. Getting into Katara's situation with Aang would be wrong, not to mention, would betray Katara. Yes, I don't know everything about what is happening with your family, and I'm not going to butt in and do anything. That's your deal. And here, I'm dropping the Aang topic. Done." She stood up as well, annoyed.

"Oh, and by the way." She swooped down and snatched up the fishing rod and cast the line in. She lowered herself to ground and seated herself tailor style. "You're scaring the fish."

"Uh, whatever you say. I'm not the one going around asking about Aang." Sokka reached down to snatch back his fishing rod.

"And that's okay. I have. . .a thing to do. Yeah. Somewhere else."
