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.

If this is a joke, you have chosen a poor one.
[If she'd been human, she'd be described as 'huffing'.]
no subject
You were glowing and her voice was coming out of your body!
[How is this not memorable?!]
no subject
N-no jokes going on here, Miss Kite! [He says that politely, really.] Me and Wan, we- we just have to straighten some things out!
[And then he looks back at Wan urgently.]
Wait - you mean when I was in the Avatar State? That was... [He trails off as he thinks back to that draft, when he was able to enter a controlled Avatar State. But that control slipped away when he saw Wan... and from then on his memories are hard to sort through...]
no subject
[Raava said sharply, her tone returning to it's pointed and almost threatening note as she turned her body back toward Aang. Her tendrils flipping about like ribbons off a kite to settle gently around Wan's feet. Almost as if she were intentionally curling at least one around him protectively.]
How. Why. What have you done to Wan with it?
no subject
[Wan snapped. He knew it was the avatar's job to deal with spirits but that doesn't mean he can't protect him as a friend!]
no subject
Her tendrils slipped away from him and she drifted back before pulling herself up to tower over both of them, defensive.]
You do not remember me and he holds a piece of me inside him. He has done something. I will have answers!
1/2
Wait a second! If I've got your light... and if Wan remembers you from that time, then... there's only one person you could be. Miss Kite Spirit...
no subject
You're me!
no subject
[She snapped and leaned forward.]
And I am not a human.
no subject
But then, he quickly is back into panicked/flustered mode, leaning back as Raava looms over him.]
I- I'm sorry, but there's a misunderstanding! I know you're not a human... but you're inside of me! Or you should be. [Now he's not sure how this works at all. Beyond the basic fact.] You're... you're the Avatar Spirit!
[That glow the spirit gives off. Now he can see it's just like the glow of the Avatar State. Even if the primary times he's seen it firsthand have been in his nightmares...]
no subject
Aang is my friend! Back off and stop trying to protect me!
[He will consider this whole "avatar spirit" thing after Raava stops pushing his friend around.]
no subject
[Raava's voice raised as her ire started to peak. Wan's anger at her driving much of it. She had spent the last few months with him and he had been nothing like this. Had it all been a trick? A supreme joke at her expense?
She pulled back, hurt and angered. Not at all sure how to handle this betrayal of her trust.]
I thought you different than other humans, Wan. I should never have trusted you.
[She practically spat the words out before flipping around and darting out of the house.]
no subject
[Then after he pulls back from the window, he sighs, deflates, and sinks against the wall.]
no subject
Are you feeling okay?
[Yes, he is going back to his original question, because he is still really concerned. Not only because that was stressful but Aang was throwing up earlier so he wants to make sure.]
no subject
That was definitely the Avatar spirit. And she's outside of him now. What does that mean - is he still the Avatar?]
I think we just lost the Avatar spirit... [Then he gives a confused look towards Wan.]
You really are the Avatar, aren't you. [Jinora had tried to tell him... and come to think of it, Wan Shi Tong had tried to as well. He can't just ignore that any longer.]
no subject
But the evidence was now impossible to brush off. There was an "avatar spirit" inside Aang that knew who he was and wanted to protect him. She acted like his friend when he had no idea she even existed-]
Not yet.
[At least that's the only thing he can think of that isn't "everything in luceti is an illusion".
If he didn't have to wonder how, or why, or deal with the sudden revelation that some of his best friends are actually his reincarnations thousands of years into the future he might actually be excited about this. But right now he is confused and even more exasperated with Raava.]
no subject
But... You will be one day. And that Raava spirit... she's gotta be the key.
[He shakes his head softly, thinking back at all the troubles that have come from time period differences throughout his time in Luceti.]
We have to get Raava to understand and accept that.
no subject
But if he doesn't that would change Aang's entire future, and protecting that is more important to him than his personal comfort. So he will go along with it for his friend's sake.]
It's going to take awhile.
