near the main campfire - tuesday afternoon

He lay in the grass, mostly because he could. It was a little damp since the day seemed to flutter between beautiful and damp, but he didn't much mind. He didn't catch colds too easily (perhaps the one dip in the well had been enough) and water didn't have any kind of adverse effect on him...

And it was nice out. Soothing. Almost as much as the church, it would let him think.

"I mentioned it. I should also mention I'm terrible at general conversation."

The cherry-vanilla brownies were pulled out of the bag, unwrapped from their napkin, and held out after he'd taken one.

"And I like to cook. Bake as well."

"Pffft. No one's terrible at conversation. All you have to do is just say whatever's on your mind. It's easy. I mean, you're conversating pretty well right now, right?"

He shoved the rest of the cookie in his mouth and snagged a brownie. "Hey, if you ever need to get rid of the stuff you cook," he said, spraying crumbs, "I'll gladly offer my services."

"Generally, I try to agree with people and offer up baked goods. To be fair, it's worked."

"And if I went into what's on my mind..."

He shook his head and laid back after taking another bite.

Sokka frowned. "Is everything all right? Need a posse to help save the world, or something?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Kind of did that. Well, as far as 'not making it worse' counts for saving it."

He smiled before turning his head to Sokka.

"Thanks for asking, though."

Sokka shrugged. "No big. It's what we do around here. I'm sorry your world-saving didn't turn out all right, though."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"It turned out well enough," he said. "It could have gone much worse. I'm actually rather pleased, to be honest. Other than the fact that it's made me a little overly sensitive.

"Hence the sitting on the ground."

He smiled at Sokka.

"You don't have to apologize for anything, you know. I'm exceedingly difficult to offend."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

An eyebrow cocked. "I wasn't apologizing," Sokka pointed out. "I was sympathizing. Different thing entirely."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Ahh. I'll have to make sure I remember that."

There wasn't any sarcasm. It was just something he noted.

"Told you I wasn't much good at this."

But he was smiling by then.
