05 ~ Fire and Spirits and Bears! Oh my! [Action]

[Locked to Sokka]

It was a day like any other. Zuko was going out hunting as he often did. Though this time Sokka was actually coming with him. Which was more than fine. Having two sets of hands meant bringing back more food. Not that especially needed all that much, but hunting had become one of Zuko's favorite hobbies here in Luceti.

It was one of those unusually warm days during the winter, and Zuko decided to take a route deep into the forest that he didn't often take. Maybe they would find something interesting today.

[Locked to Sokka and Raava]

Blood. Sweat. And Tears. That's what happens when you run across a certain familiar bear. But this time they were victorious! The bear had fallen under their combined might, and after a couple hours of field dressing the huge animal, they were carrying back home. The bear had been skinned, the choice pieces of meat harvested, the claws... and Sokka had even insisted on taking the thing's whole head back. Which Zuko made him carry.

The firebender sported his own sack of bear meat, as well as the bear's pelt over one shoulder. They were quite the sight walking through the forest.

[Open]

Eventually, after their encounter with Raava, Sokka and Zuko can be seen parading through the village with their cut up bear. Eventually making it back to their house where their friends were sure to notice too. They'll have two very proud young men carrying the remains of the bear. Enough meat to last them for weeks, and of course a new bear skin rug.

[Opal's outside of the house just in time to catch at least one of them returning with said bear if not both. And she's sort of... uh. Hm.]

A bear.

[She's not really sure if she ought to look impressed or not. It is a big bear but why exactly the pair had went off to kill it is beyond her.]

It really is a big one.

[Opal's lack of enthusiasm is not going to curb Sokka's. He's still quite chipper about the the whole thing.]

No kidding! It was probably... oh, this big! [Sokka is standing on his tiptoes and reaching as high as he can with one arm to emulate the size of it.] This means we'll be able to feast for a month probably!

[personal profile] airyopalescent 2015-01-05 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not so bad, I guess. You do know we have a market full of food though, right?

[personal profile] airyopalescent 2015-01-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[... Okay, she's genuinely curious here.]

What are you going to do with the brain?
theideaguy: (incredulous)

[personal profile] theideaguy 2015-01-06 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, you've mentioned the brain already. I won't forget!

[Thank you for reminding him, Zuko. He would have completely forgotten otherwise.]

But let's be honest, the food of the animals here is sooooo much better than all the stuff they have at the store. Fresher, too!

[personal profile] airyopalescent 2015-01-06 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... I guess you have a point. I don't eat a lot of meat though.

[She fit in real well with the airbenders before she could ever bend squat, yup.]

[Opal 'ooohs' a bit at the explanation, glancing over to the bear skin. She's not too keen on it either but the process itself sounds interesting enough.]

It should be interesting once it's finished.
theideaguy: (smirky)

[personal profile] theideaguy 2015-01-08 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm okay with people who don't eat meat. Leaves more meat for ourselves.

[He can't help but grin a little cheekily at that.]

I don't suppose you could help us with the door? And the door to the basement?

[personal profile] airyopalescent 2015-01-08 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... sure. I guess.

[At that Opal's off for the door, though she does ask:]

Just try not to drop it.

[Any of it. :|]
