It feels a little weird to come of age so far from home. Hey, if anyone's listening- do birthdays make you feel awkward here, or is it just another year for you?

I'm not sure whether or not it's something to celebrate, but... still, it can be exciting, right?


[Contrary to the usual tradition of most people, Suki is in the Avatar kitchen today, trying to... make herself a cake. Or rather, a cake she can share with the family at dinner. She wants to know how to cook for her man, after all, and now that she's had a couple of cooking sessions with more experienced bakers, she thought it would be fun to try.

...Someone KATARA HALP should probably supervise, though, before she does something irreversibly unpleasant.]

[Secret? What secrets! Nobody is keeping secrets. He just keeps smiling]

Oh yeah, it's got its own sheath and everything. It'll go great with your shield... and fans... and uniform. Yeah.

[blessedbyfarore]

Me either! Although my clothes were next to me, actually... when I came back in November, though, they weren't. And it had been snowing.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Come on, you have other talents that I don't. And cooking is something you can easily learn by following directions.

[kyoshi]

When you came back? Did you get to go home?

[Action]

[kyoshi]

[...Uh. Wow, Sokka. That smile is not fooling anyone. Still, she's... going to indulge him a little more. Maybe. He'd better fess up before too long, though. Was he trying to surprise her...?]

I guess that means I'd better start practicing with it more often.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

That's true for everyone, though- you can work with metal like Sokka; that's not something I can see myself ever doing. [Grabbing a couple of plates, Suki goes about serving up the pie. ...Yep, smells even more tasty once the insides are visible, too.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Oh, right. Yeah. Hey, since you don't have your Kyoshi Warriors, we could train together. I've got really good with the sword since I've been here. [Which she probably was able to see during the draft.]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

[Shrug.] I don't think so. If we don't eat it all today, I'm sure that the boys will finish it off tomorrow.

[Besides, the flour's already out and your cake might require backup.] I'm not much of a baker, but I'm sure we can figure it out.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You're good at fighting and protecting people, right? That's not something I would be doing.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi goes quiet for a moment at that reminder that she's stuck here in Luceti for who knows how long. Then she gives a small, polite laugh.] I suppose there's a lot to keep people busy. [Not all of it good.]

[voice]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Sokka will at least have something special in mind, right?

[He better, anyway. But yep]

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... sometimes when you come back from kidnappings and stuff, you wear that stuff... [And from deaths, too.]

[ action ]

[kyoshi]

The boys do have pretty big appetites. I hope they like it, in that case. [Suki goes back to mixing, peering at the recipe.] Well... I guess since it's already doubled I'd better keep it up.

[voice]

[kyoshi]

Just enough, I think. It's kind of nice to live peacefully sometimes, even though the experiments are really disruptive.

[kyoshi]

Oh, I see... I wonder if they just have a neverending supply of white clothes in their bases?

[Action]

[kyoshi]

Yeah. Though, about that... [She's quiet for a moment, then speaks up again.] Do you think it might be a good idea to try and start up another group of Warriors here?

[voice]

[kyoshi]

Knowing him, he's probably planned something out. But I don't want to put any pressure on him or anything! I'd be happy to just have them home for dinner.

[Action] 1/2

[markofthewise]

[Oh, that catches him off guard and makes him forget about his own fail.]

Kyoshi Warriors? Here...?

[Action]

[kyoshi]

Sounds like you don't really like fighting, then. [Hmmm... maybe she should scratch Winry off her list of potentials.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Actually, that could be a good thing. And Sokka can probably find her recruits. A lot of them.]

That's a great idea! I bet there's a lot of girls around here who would like to learn someone! I mean, I know you don't usually teach outsiders... but it's not like anyone from home has to know.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

[All his ladies.]

If I made an exception for you, I think I can make an exception here, too. Especially considering the kind of situation we're in. We need all the warriors we can get.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

... yeah. They don't care if they take fighters or not for their drafts...

[And it's only a matter of time before someone he really cares about, like Fenimore or Winry, get drafted. And then what?]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link pauses a little, suddenly picturing rows and rows of white clothing, then laughs.] Maybe! I think they should make winter versions, too.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine once said my hands are for healing. I like to think he's right.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

[Ah, right. The experiments.] Do those happen...often?
