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.

Join the Kyoshi Warriors? I... maybe? I'm not sure if she'd even want to.

[She just seems to perfect. Why would she want to be a crazed sweaty warrior woman?]

[herotypical]

[ crazed sweaty warrior women are awesome, that's why. ]

You won't know for sure until you ask.

[kyoshi]

That's true, too. [Just... gotta muster up the courage and do that. Yeah.

...Oh boy.]

I just don't want her to feel like some kind of third wheel.

[herotypical]

The best way to do that? Include her in things. If she's reasonable, then it'll work out.

[kyoshi]

I hope she is. I really don't know her well enough to judge. She seems nice, though, and Sokka wouldn't- [Love her-] ...She wouldn't be... her friend if she wasn't.

[Delicate, oh so delicate.]

[herotypical]

..Hold onto that, Suki. It can't be easy -- it isn't easy. But if you can hold onto that fairness and remember that the guy you care for wouldn't have also cared for someone else fair and friendly? Then you two can make the best of it.

[kyoshi]

I'm going to try. Even if we can't be friends, if we're going to share a home here, I want to at least get along as well as we can. [She pauses, then looks up, offering a little smile.] Thanks, Buffy. This did help.

[herotypical]

[ she attempts to inject a little humour: ] Good to know my guidance counselor skills haven't gone and up and died on me.

[kyoshi]

Guidance counselor? [The downside of, you know. Not really going to school during childhood.]

[herotypical]

Y-yeah. I worked at a school and students would come to me with -- problems or worries or concerns and I'd help them with that.

[ it didn't last long. ]

[kyoshi]

Sounds like a good job for you. [OR LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW?]
