[Sokka doesn't mind it, after all, he's more often than not all up in his crew's business, fair's fair and all. He pauses in his training, stopping the bag with both hands before turning to smile across. ]

With a good reason. Uh... do you know Looma at all?

[deviances]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I've seen her around, know of her, but never really gotten a chance to talk to her. Why?

[alwayscomeback]

Well, I like her... a lot, but her species works differently to humanity. She needs to be defeated in battle to be, y'know, interested in a person. So here I am. Training to try and win her over and probably going to get my arms broken in a very short period of time, because I'm a hopeless romantic deep down.

[deviances]

[ Aww, he likes her a lot! That makes him grin. Aww, she needs to be defeated in battle to-- wait. He blinks a few times, makes sure he heard that right - and yep, with how Sokka's continuing, he really must have! Well damn. ]

Whoa, so like... You gotta beat her in a fight? For real? [ Beat. ] We're talkin' about the same Looma, right? Really tall, helluva warrior? Four arms? [ Another beat. ] Damn dude.

[ But he's back to grinning. Because: ]

That sounds so crazy, I gotta say, I'm impressed.

[alwayscomeback]

That's her! Hence why I'm training as hard as possible so I have at least half a fighting chance against her.

[He knows he's going to get his ass handed to him either way, but he'd rather be able to get a few licks in before that happens. It's a matter of pride. ]

Thanks, man. I know it's pretty crazy, but she's worth it.

[deviances]

[ Low whistle. ]

Good luck, man. For real. I'd offer to help you train? But I'm not gonna be any kind of challenge to fight whatsoever. [ Snort. ] Not like you've got magic to worry about. That'd be different.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, it would never hurt to get some training in for you either.

[Lower your chances of ever ending up anywhere dead. ]

And true, she does not have magic. Thankfully.

[deviances]

Hey... I can explode shit. Who needs trainin' when you can do that?

[ ... ... ... ]

Nah but seriously, you're probably right. [ Snrk! ] I actually have been thinkin' about learnin' to use some kind of weapon. Dunno what, though.

[alwayscomeback]

For the times when Atroma makes it so you can't explode things?

[You know, like they do. For shits and giggles. ]

Well, I can help you with bladed weapons, swords, daggers, stuff like that. There's also the trusty boomerang, now that's a weapon!

[deviances]

[ He grins. ]

Careful, man. Your bias is showin'. But actually, in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure that the way my luck runs, a boomerang would come back to just hit me in the damn head every single time.

[alwayscomeback]

[He laughs, putting a hand to his chest. ]

Oh no, not my well formed bias!!!

Okay, but that's what I did for a while before I learned to catch it properly. You kind of need to learn to anticipate where it's going to be, rather than where it is right at that second.

[deviances]

[ He laughs too, shaking his head. "Well formed," indeed - fair enough... ]

Yeah, okay, I can see that. [ He thinks for a second. ] And you know, a boomerang on fire might have its own set of uses, honestly.

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know man, wind-speed and direction factors in. Do you really want something on fire to be caught in a crosswind?
