In that case, we can take the shortcut through the woods, then.

[Ooh, there's a shortcut? And it's a 'in that case'? She is intrigued]

The shortcut?

[markofthewise]

Well, it's not much of a shortcut. Everyone knows about it. We just go through the woods instead of around the river like the usual path.

Oh, I see!

[M-more potential things to trip over. But that does sound shorter, and she'll follow along.]

[markofthewise]

So... [So what are they going to talk about, mid-experiment?] How's school?

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

I was worried at first, but it's turned out to be not too hard! [Now that her most drastic fears are clearly not going to happen, she can laugh about it.] I guess with everyone from different places like this, I was worried about how I'd measure up.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I kind of was too. I grew up in the South Pole and learned everything from my dad and gran gran. There wasn't much reading there and we usually only learned the necessities to survive. I've pretty much to catch up with a ton before I started going here. In fact, I was here for months before I finally went.

1/2? idk one day I won't combo ridiculously

[That is really intense, Sokka, give her a minute to think about that.]

Wooooow.

2/3

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[Wait a minute.]

...Um.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

Didn't you say you were in the top classes?

[markofthewise]

[... ahh, well. That sounds impressive, but...]

... well technically there's only two levels of classes here. [Although he's doing pretty awesome for himself regardless. He'd probably be a top student if he applied himself.]

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

What are they?

[although really she's getting to a point where she'll probably believe he can do anything.]

[markofthewise]

Basically? The kids and the teenagers. For the most part anyway.

[He's okay with that belief.]

1/2

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[SOKKA WHEN YOU SAID 'TOP CLASSES.']

That makes sense.

[He would be, wouldn't he.]

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[She'll lapse into silence for a moment, before asking]

What's the South Pole like?

[markofthewise]

[Oh, well that was an odd subject change. Okay, he'll go with it. They're almost there anyway.]

Well, there's a lot of ice. I don't mean just a little lot. I mean you can't turn around without seeing ice. Even the ice has icicles on it. And then there's snow. And then more ice.

... but it can be pretty amazing to see, if you know the right spots.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[Well, after he's brought up the South Pole a few times, she's curious!

And now she's picturing this.]

Wow. It's funny, isn't it? Even when we talk about other worlds in school - oh, here and at home - it's hard to imagine such different places existing. But it really does sound beautiful!

[markofthewise]

You have to see the Celestial Lights to really appreciate it. But I know what you mean. Two years ago, I'd never been anywhere but the South Pole. Traveling the world with the Avatar? That was a real eye opener, not gonna lie.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

Celestial Lights? [wait wait hang on trying to keep up, here.] Who's the Avatar?

[markofthewise]

Uh, well, the Avatar? He's just this kid. But he's the reincarnation of all these other guys who basically keep order and peace in the world with their awesome ability to control all four elements. [Have some vague wiggly fingers to indicate his special powers.]

Defeating the Fire Nation kind of hinged on having him around.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[Reincarnation...? Huh.

- WAIT WOW.] What, really? Just one person?

[markofthewise]

... well, he didn't do it on his own. He needed a lot of help.

[Like Sokka. And other people.]

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[She never doubted that!]

Like what you told me about the airships, right?

[STILL IMPRESSED BY THAT]

[markofthewise]

Exactly! The Avatar couldn't fight the Fire Lord and take down an entire fleet of airships.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

It'd have to take a really incredible person to do something like that.
