Sokka don't touch tha- oh no: A Blue Fish Mingle

[save_the_souls]

Who: Blue Fish Crew and any visitors!
Broadcast: If you want!
Action: SS Blue Fish!
When: February Drift Week, maybe the rest of Feb too?? Who knows.

[Hey Blue Fish Crew! The fleet is on the move again, so it's time for another mingle!

It be noted that Sokka activated a device that might cause glitches among the crew. So uh. Sorry about that. But at least once upgrades go through, we'll have a deep fryer?! Yay!

Get in, it's a mingle!]

[At least he doesn't judge. He understands other people are raised differently. Heck, that's much like Toph's life, before she broke free of it and joined them. Kept. Looked after. ]

Well, if it's something you miss from home, I can sure give it a try for you.

[steeledskin]

-- I'd be most obliged, Sokka. [ she beams. ] Thank you. I know I can count on you to do your utmost best.

[alwayscomeback]

[He full on BEAMS, giving a little theatrical bow for emphasis. ]

I absolutely will. You're worth it.

[steeledskin]

[ -- worth it. her cheeks colour, a little, at that. and when they've all recovered she'll be glad to have the glitch to blame for her reaction. sansa tightens her fingers around her mug of tea and buries a fresh smile behind a sip. ]

But do mine last. [ she gives her head a calming shake. ] Others must have better plans and more noble desires than this one. Mine can wait, I think.

[ so she's matured at least a little bit. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[He doesn't seem to notice, thanks to his glitch. He just grins- slightly manically. ]

With the energy I have right now, I think I could do them all in one day!

[steeledskin]

You do seem rather...high in spirits.

[ an understatement. where once she might have said it with concern, she now voices it with outright approval. ]

[alwayscomeback]

I know, right? I don't know where all this energy has come from. I haven't felt like this since Allen hid that really strong coffee from me.

[steeledskin]

Hid it? [ ... ] Why?

[alwayscomeback]

Apparently I'm [he's gonna use fingerquotes here] 'hyper enough already that I don't need help'.

[steeledskin]

You're the Captain! [ she's made this argument before -- but this time it borders on playful. ] Captains should be able to drink whatever they like. Tea or 'coffee' or wine! Or -- oh, iced milk with honey in it.

[alwayscomeback]

[He grins, partly because of the tone, partly because she's taking his side. ]

Thank you! That's what I said. That should absolutely be a captain-y privilege!

...Oooh. Iced milk with honey. That actually sounds good.

[steeledskin]

It's better than good. It's delicious -- and with a little bowl of blueberries on the side! [ a happy sigh. ] They would serve it on hot days in King's Landing.

[alwayscomeback]

[He mentally adds that to the list of supplies to find for her, one day. ]

Well, we're just going to have to look for some. Unless the replicator can make them, maybe.

[steeledskin]

The milk is never as creamy. Nor the honey quite sweet enough. [ despite this disappointment, she smiles. as though the memory sustains her. ] But it isn't so bad -- to make do with what we have.

[alwayscomeback]

I guess we do, huh? Maybe someday we'll find a Waystation that can perfectly make food from other worlds. Until theeeen, I guess a second best works as well as anything else.

[steeledskin]

Far better than what they call soda. [ ... ] That stuff tastes lovely at first, but then it makes my stomach ache.

[alwayscomeback]

I got to agree with you on that one. I'm not a fan. I prefer fruit juices.

[It's one thing he'll miss when he inevitably goes back to the South Pole. Fresh fruit juice. ]

[steeledskin]

...Have you got a favourite?

[ because she does and it'll surprise no one. ]

[alwayscomeback]

Melon. I found them when we were hiding out on a Fire Nation island. They're pretty refreshing.

[steeledskin]

Melon. [ a beat. ] I will keep that in mind. Should some ever be found on a planet, some day.

[alwayscomeback]

[He offers her a lopsided smile. ]

Really? Thanks, Sansa.

[steeledskin]

You are most welcome. [ others had worked so hard to bring her lemons and lemon-flavoured things. shouldn't she pass a little of that sweetness onto sokka? yes, she decides. ] But for now, mayhaps I ought to leave you to your hard work. I don't want to be a distraction.

[alwayscomeback]

[He nods, giving her a cheery little salute. ]

Sure thing. It's always a pleasure, Sansa.
