Awww that touches the cockles of my heart.

[The smile lasts for a moment more, before he lapses into a bit of silence. A frown slowly crosses his face as he thinks and reflects.]

...We need a better plan than this. If getting away from the planet hadn't worked, you could've been killed.

[alwayscomeback]

And a lot more people could have been killed if I hadn't flown us away.

[He knows only too well that the needs of the many outweigh that of the individual.]

[save_the_souls]

[Disapproves!!]

Yes, I know, but that's not good enough. I don't want any of you to get killed from this.

[alwayscomeback]

Trust me, I want to avoid that, too. The less casualties the better.

[save_the_souls]

So let's try to think of a way, okay? If there is a next time?

[alwayscomeback]

[He exhales, giving a slow nod. ]

Okay. Maybe I can...I don't know, find a way to get a better autopilot in the shuttles. So you can just jump in, hit a button and be sent out of the way.

[save_the_souls]

[He considers that, then makes a face]

Yes, but wouldn't that potentially be giving a functioning vehicle to someone very dangerous?

I mean, assuming I'm not able to keep control.

[Since seriously, let's not hand over car keys to the psycho killer]

[alwayscomeback]

Maybe make it a one way trip? You can head away, but once you get to an assigned distance, engines cut out? Then, once you know you're in the clear, you can radio for help and we can come collect. We can always upgrade our shuttle for that.

[save_the_souls]

That's....That could work. [He blinks in surprise. Man his captain is always so smart]

Do you think you could wire a shuttle to do that for sure?

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't know until I try. If not, back to the drawing board, but it's worth a try all the same.

[save_the_souls]

[He considers that. then, gratefully]

Thank you.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka gives him a soft half-smile in response. ]

Hey, any time. We look after one another, right?

[save_the_souls]

...Ah, of course.

[Except he knew this crew was going above and beyond what the creed usually means for folks. It was humbling, touching...but also not fair. He had to do better to keep this in check. Anything, to look after them.]

[alwayscomeback]

Well, as soon as you feel up to it, we'll head back, okay?

[Sokka was determined that not only would they get out of this, but his crew would ALL get out of it. Together or not at all.]
