[Voice / Action] backdated to the 13th

[kyoshi]

[Locked from Sokka]

Hey everyone, just a head's up that Sokka and I will be unavailable for a few days. We should be back sometime next week, so don't worry.

And if you see him first, do me a favour and don't tell him! But you can wish him a happy anniversary, if you want.

Kyoshi Warriors, if you could check in and let me know you're alright, I'd appreciate it, especially after that last experiment. I'd like to make sure we still have a full roster of members. This Sunday's practice is cancelled since I'll be out of the village, but don't slack off on your training, okay?

Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Kyoshi Warriors of Luceti are a group of girls learning self-defense and stealth combat techniques. If anyone is interested in joining or finding out more about the group, I'd be happy to answer any questions!

[With that, Suki makes herself busy with some packing. She'll make a round to all of her housemates first to let them know she and Sokka will be AWOL, then it's off to the smithy, backpack in hand, to ninja-kidnap her unsuspecting fiance.]

[markofthewise]

Hey, I had ideas for tonight. I was thinking a romantic dinner on top of one of the buildings. Sure, it would be a lot of stairs and pretty tiring, but we would have had a great view!

[But the view from the mountains is way better, so.]

[kyoshi]

You can save them for a date night, how about that?

[Her expression - on top of the response - makes for a pretty clear message that she is very much down with that idea.]

[markofthewise]

I could, but I'm pretty sure I ruined the surprise and we can basically never do it now.

[Or this is his secret way of making it an option again!!]

[kyoshi]

It doesn't have to be a surprise for it to be an acceptable date. [Don't you be denying her a moonlight dinner for two now that you've mentioned it, buster! She'll tell everyone how stingy you are.]

[markofthewise]

No, I'm pretty sure there's a rule about that. If you know it's coming, it's not very romantic.

[kyoshi]

What? That's the silliest rule I've ever heard of.

[markofthewise]

Well I don't make the rules. I'm just doomed to have to surprise you with romantic stuff.

[kyoshi]

Hm... well, if you insist. You'll just have to come up with something better next time.

[markofthewise]

Well I have several ideas, but I can't discuss them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use them.

[kyoshi]

In that case, I won't pry- I like your surprises.

[markofthewise]

Good. Because I'd hate for you to surpry too much.

[kyoshi]

...'Surpry'? Really?

[Oh, Sokka.]

[markofthewise]

Hey, you put it out there to take. They can't all be winners. [But hey, at least the Rec Center is just ahead.]

[kyoshi]

[Facepalm... okay, she'll give him that. In Sokka's mind every word is fair game for a pun.

Whatever, that's her husband-to-be. With a patient smile she gives his hand a tug and picks up the pace, eager to get there. They have an anniversary to celebrate, after all.]

[markofthewise]

[Okay okay! We're going. At the teleporter. Though Sokka gets distracted by all the stuff in the Rec Center.]

... we really should try out the TV here sometime.

[kyoshi]

I watched it once! It was neat. I think it would be easy to get hooked on it though.

[markofthewise]

You think so? Because I could get one from the Malnosso.

[kyoshi]

What, with missions? I don't know if that's worth the risk, Sokka.

[markofthewise]

I've got points saved up! Besides, all they ever do is send me to that stupid farm. The only risk is dying of boredom.

[kyoshi]

Don't you want to save them for something important, though? Some of what they offered might come in handy one day.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, yeah. I know. Besides, we'd have to completely rearrange everything to make room for it. [And he likes the Avatar House the way it is!]

Okay, back to the romantic getaway. [He steps up to the teleporter and opens it up.] After you.

[kyoshi]

Right, right. [Smiling at him - what a gentlemanly gesture! - she gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and steps in, tugging him along with her. She's ready to have some fun.]

[markofthewise]

[Aww, that's sweet. Grinning, he climbs in with her and starts to pull it close. It's a little cramped though, so he has to move in pretty close to her.]

I should... really talk to Leon about making this bigger. [Okay he awkwardly reaches out to close the door and turn it on.]

[kyoshi]

Oh, I don't know. [She winds her arms around him, sidling up.] I think it's k-

[ZOOM TELEPORTED]

-ind of cozy.

Sokka always looks so crazy there

[markofthewise]

[Here, have a forehead smooch. It's a little too cramped for anything else.]

You do have a point. Too bad the ride is so short, huh?
