19 - [voice] More Discedo hate
[Have some bitter sarcasm. Lots of it, actually.]
Great. Just what we needed: more sickness and curses. Isn't Discedo such a nice place?
[sigh]
Anyway... Yuuri, I promised you I'd help you out with swordsmanship. When do you want to do that?
And, Sokka, I'm sick of eating canned slop. Let's go hunting. You like meat, right?
[Private to Toph and Sokka || Locked from Aang]
...Aang doesn't remember me. Sokka, he said you talked to him, but I don't want to... freak him out or anything.
Um... What do you guys think? Toph, you probably... get how he feels. All this stupid time-shifting is so frustrating!

[voice :: locked]
...it's probably still best to wait then.
[voice :: locked]
[voice :: locked]
Alright.
It's good that you have a backup plan.
[voice :: locked]
[ And now, he unlocks the conversation again. ]
So cow or wolf? I'm finding that the wolves are a bit stringy, but they keep longer than the beef.
[voice]
Hmm... I didn't even know there were cows around here. The meat should keep well enough in the snow, so I think we should treat ourselves to some beef.
It might be good to get something that will last longer though, and I'm getting a group of several people together, so how about we split up and get both?
You'll be getting the cows.[voice]
They're...larger than what you may be thinking, and are oddly colored. But they taste the same. I got lucky once and surprised one, but I think the snow has been making them move further into the woods.
I agree, we might as well while the snow is still around to act as a freezer. To keep the other monsters from scavenging though, we'll have to bury it well so they don't steal it.
[voice]
And yes, good point. The monsters don't come too close to the buildings usually though, so it should be safe if we keep it nearby.
[voice]
I'm...not very sure how large either of those are.
Maybe Toph can make something underground for us to use as storage. It would be safer for us as well as avoid any problems with scavengers, and when the snow stops we could still have a cool place to store perishables.
[voice]
...do you know what an armadillobear is?
And that's a really good idea. Actually, since the lake's been frozen over and water's kind of scarce, I wonder if she could look for underground wells too. We'll have to ask her.
[voice]
It beats melting snow down and boiling it to get rid of all the crap in it. She may do it if you ask her. [ Yeah, he hasn't apologized for being an asshat to her. Their latest conversations have been ending in irritated arguments. ]
[voice]
Uh, I could try. She seems to be more willing to talk to me lately. It's kind of difficult, considering...
[voice]
You will have more luck than I will. We keep devolving into shouting matches.
[voice]
I thought you guys got along okay. And yeah... it was that way for a while with me. She seems to be... slowly forgiving me, I guess.
[voice]
Mm, it's more something that happened over the course of the last few weeks. [ Yoh's death even if it was accidental, regular nagging to go get that wound checked, and is Ren just a little jealous of that rather unique Earthbending ability? Maybe.
Only a little. ]
[voice]
I see... Okay, I'll talk to her.
[He thinks this might be about Yoh but isn't dumb enough to bring it up. See, that's exactly why you shouldn't die, Ren. It'll only make things worse.
And Zuko's not jealous at all of the Earthbending... but he does really, really wish he had his Firebending too.]
