Well... now that the draft is over, I think it's a good time to do this. Because of all the fighting we have do while we're here, either by choice or by force, it's a good idea to have some understanding of combat in case of an emergency. From what I heard about this last battle, even the people who took refuge weren't able to stay out of the fight. We can't really afford to take chances like that anymore, and I'd like to do something about that- so I have a proposal for the girls of Luceti.
First of all, I'm Suki. I know I look young, but where I'm from, I lead a group of girls known as the Kyoshi Warriors. We're well-trained in combat, and the focus of our style is a mix of defense, stealth, and using our opponent's strength against them. Girls are often smaller and not as strong as men, and it's very important to never view that as a weakness.
None of my warriors are here right now, but I want to start the group here anyway. There's no age limit, no experience needed, you just have to be willing to listen and learn. If you'd like to join, or ask me questions, please, let me know, okay? And if you don't want to get involved in my group, Buffy runs a fighting school as well, and I'm sure there's plenty of great teachers willing to help there, too.
I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt if it can be avoided, so... I hope you'll all think about it.

sob I have never had so much trouble with a tag before
I think... you'd be a great teacher. Someone out there will really put what you know to good use. But our styles are so different, I don't want to confuse the girls with too many tactics. Maybe just... give it some time? Let me teach them what I know, so they can at least get started.
I am sorry :(
Hey, it's alright, really. This is your thing, I'm good with that. Don't worry about me, the last thing that's going to happen around here is me getting bored, believe me.
yeah I bet it was on purpose
[Since they're engaged and all, and this is a big part of her life... it's more because he doesn't seem to want to be part of it, but instead just temporary outside help.
And that means he never really understood the Kyoshi Warriors after all.]
The result is good though!
... are you saying what I think you're saying?
no subject
[Good grief, should she be more worried now? Was that request terribly offensive? It's not like she'd banish him from practices.]
no subject
Well... I mean, it's not like I don't appreciate the offer and everything, but... the Kyoshi Warrior thing was kind of a one time thing, you know? I mean... it's great for you guys, but...
[He'd pretty much never live it down if he was caught in the uniform. And when it comes down to it, that's his main reservation there.]
no subject
So that's that, then.]
You don't have to be involved. It's... not your style, I get it.
[And strangely, she doesn't feel disappointed or anything. A little sad that he doesn't understand, but... well, why was the Kyoshi Warrior group started in the first place? Why was it made into a group only for girls?
It's okay to not involve him. It would be like her trying to work at the smithy.]
no subject
[Relieved as he is to have this behind them, he can't help but feel like... he's let her down. He also knows that a simple apology won't fix it, nor would showing up the next day in uniform, because it'd be pretty obvious he wasn't doing that for the right reasons.
So... there's nothing to do by leave it at that. He'll do the part he committed to and from there, be hands off.]
So... I've uh, met some of the people who signed up. I mean... in case you want to know anything about them.
no subject
[Because teasing totally helps lighten the mood, right?]
no subject
Even if Sokka made an amazing girl.]It's- hey, it's not gossip! I meant, you know, an evaluation or something!
[He's fought at least one of them! Jeez...]
no subject
Alright, tell me what you know.

[Unlike some people, she is a wonderful teacher. Ohoho.
even if he's still stronger]no subject
[... just most of them.]
no subject
[Besides the fact that she's wearing his necklace and all.
...Well, he is living with his ex still. 8|;;]
no subject
[YEAH that should win him some points.]
no subject
You're lucky you made the right choice, in that case.
no subject
[He could even logically explain why she was the best choice, but that would probably get him hit.]
no subject
Good answer.
no subject
Looks like Sokka knows what he's going to be doing for a little bit longer now.]
