[Snow has to bite back a snarl at Sokka's attitude. Of course if the guy's been stuck here for a while, he's going to be cynical and a jerk about things. He would be if the situations were reversed.

But he's also really bad at socializing now. Smiles aren't the only thing that don't come easy, that's for damn sure.]

By taking the fight to them when they let their guard down. No one's invulnerable.

[alwayscomeback]

[You're trying, buddy, that's what matters. Sokka doesn't seem overly bothered with the attitude. He's dealt with worse. ]

You don't think we haven't been planning for that? We strike if we ever get a chance, but those chances are slim because, and here's the kicker they can hear everything we're saying. They are literally watching our every move.

[heroofcocoon]

[Okay, but trying and doing are two different things. He'll get better the more he goes along.]

Yeah? Not the first time I've dealt with that either.

[Sokka, ask him about the Cocoon fal'Cie one day.]

[alwayscomeback]

No? Well...that might be useful. If you've got any trick to avoid them listening in, we'd love to have them on the table.

[heroofcocoon]

You don't.

[He shakes his head at the memory of what Lightning and the others decided.]

You use it against them. Never met a single infallible being in my entire life. and everyone's got an ego.

[alwayscomeback]

Of course they've got an ego. But you've got to be careful in exploiting it. They literally have our lives in their hands.

[heroofcocoon]

We can use that against them. Egos are the downfall of everyone, especially when you can't laugh at yourself.

[alwayscomeback]

You know, at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything.

[heroofcocoon]

Just keep your eyes open for an opportunity. And be ready to call for backup. I've found it's easier with a vigilant group.

[alwayscomeback]

Trust me, I have zero plans of doing anything solo. I'm not crazy.

[heroofcocoon]

You seem like a nice guy, but there are some things that you should be doing alone. Otherwise, there's some questions that have to be asked...

[alwayscomeback]

[Okay, that gets a laugh out of him, Snow. ]

What if I don't like an element of mystery to myself?

[He is so teasing. ]

[heroofcocoon]

[You've got a nice sense of humor there, kid. Very shounen. Would you like a hero friend?]

Sounds like a personal problem, honestly. And I'm sure there are healers for that.

[Don't ask him. He's a crappy medic.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Yes. Yes he would. Sokka laughs.]

I'll have to ask Shay about it. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to take a look.

[heroofcocoon]

[Oh, that's good. Snow needs friends. To replace the ones that are dead and gone.]

I dunno who Shay is? She on this ship too?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka is great for friendships! ]

She's our medic. She keeps to herself a lot, really shy.

[heroofcocoon]

[One day, Snow won't be dumb. Today is not that day.]

Oh, good, someone who already has that skill set. Then I doubt you'll be relying on my sad healing skills.

[alwayscomeback]

You know what, I'll take just about any healing skills in a pinch, sad or not.

[And then Shay left the fleet anyway so congrats, Snow. This is your job now. ]

[heroofcocoon]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[And then it did, but he did it a different way than Shay before retreating to a different ship.]
