[There are two things here that attract Sokka's attention. The obvious one is all the metal clunking about his ship, the less obvious one to most other than Sokka is the knowledge MEAT has arrived. He beams when he sees who it is, playing about with the dumb fox, but whatever. ]

Al! Hey buddy, glad you're here. [He wanders past a crate and starts rummaging about in it. ]

I got that pencil thingie done for you.

[thebloodseal]

Hi, Sokka! [Al waved and let the fox scamper off to wherever it might go.]

Oh, thank you. I brought you guys a present, too.

[alwayscomeback]

[He pulls out a small metalic cylinder, a little like a stylus pen, but designed a touch thicker at the top and tapering at the bottom. Nicely made for bigger hands. He presents it to Al with no small amount of flourish. ]

Here you go! And if the gift is of meat, then you've beat me on best gift ever.

[thebloodseal]

Oh, this will be perfect. Now I can wait a little bit before shocking people with the whole "suit of armor" thing.

[Al patted the crate.]

You guessed right. I've been doing a lot of hunting, both to help my crew and just because it's something to do, and I've gathered more than we can eat. I thought you guys might like some too.

[alwayscomeback]

People still getting freaked out by that huh? Can't imagine why.

[Stop with the sarcasm, he's bringing you food. ]

Well, you're now officially one of my favourite people. We can always use more meat. There's a lot of us to feed. Thanks, man.

[thebloodseal]

I know, I'm so cuddly.

[Sarcasm is something he can do, thankfully.]

Any time. You have a pretty big crew, don't you? Compared to the Vanquish, anyway- especially because Pearl and I don't need to eat. I'll bring some more if we're on this planet long enough.

[alwayscomeback]

The cuddliest! Like a big ol teddy bear.

[That's good, that's really good.]

Aw, you're great. I've been hunting too, making sure we got enough. I mean, Allen doesn't eat meat, but everyone else does. I'm glad we gout our freezers, to keep the meat fresh longer.

[thebloodseal]

[He nodded.]

If you ever need some more storage space, I might be able to cobble some together with alchemy. Then again, I wouldn't want to step on Toph's toes and do the metalbending thing.

[alwayscomeback]

You know, she'd probably enjoy bouncing some ideas off of you. She runs a metalbending school, back home. I think she probably misses talking to other people who can do it, here.

[thebloodseal]

Oh, she does? I bet she's an awesome teacher. And that's a good point... my alchemy isn't exactly the same, but there are similarities. Of course, she could kick my butt if she wanted.

[alwayscomeback]

Now that's the kinda attitude she approves of!

But you two should totally get together. Bend metal and stuff.

[thebloodseal]

Just as long as she doesn't try it on me! I don't think she would unless I made her really angry, though. I could stand to be a bit smaller, but I'd be afraid of going too far.

[alwayscomeback]

Don't worry. Toph can be a jerk sometimes, but she knows where to draw the line. She wouldn't hurt you.

[thebloodseal]

I'm glad she's on my side, then. I'd love to see how she'd do in a fight.

[alwayscomeback]

She used to fight with earthbending before she joined us. She got a cool belt and everything. She can kick anyone's butt.

[thebloodseal]

That's awesome. I bet she must throw her opponents off guard a lot because she's so tiny.

[alwayscomeback]

Yep! They make the worst mistake they ever could by underestimating her.

[thebloodseal]

Sounds a bit like Brother- he's short but a powerful fighter, so people tend to see him as a pipsqueak kid.

[alwayscomeback]

If they ever met, they'd either be really great friends or they'd kill each other.

[thebloodseal]

Yeah, I can't decide which. Brother has a hot temper, and he doesn't like being reminded that he's short, either.

[alwayscomeback]

Toph doesn't mind the short thing so much, but I think that's more because of the blind thing than anything else.

[thebloodseal]

And she definitely proves that size doesn't matter. Brother does, too, but that doesn't mean he likes being short any better.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, you can always get him big shoes. What're they called? Platforms? Make him feel like he's tall.

[thebloodseal]

Oh, he's already got that taken care of, trust me. He wears huge boots, plus has a hair antenna on his forehead to make himself look taller. And anybody who calls him short is on the receiving end of a temper tantrum.

[alwayscomeback]

Huh, how about that. Got to give him credit for having his bases checked.
