[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.

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.

[Of course one of the first creatures Raava would come across in the strange forest she'd found herself in was a pair of humans. And ones that were successful in a hunt they'd been on. Which meant they were not ones that lived on the back of the Ancient One of Air. They were more likely stragglers from the group she and Wan had been looking over moments before she found herself in this strange place. Another part of that same forest, even if it looked so very different.

Floating toward them, she cautiously settled herself on the ground in their path.]

Humans. Tell me where I am and how I was brought so far without my consent.

It was absolutely wonderful to finally get to go hunting again on a regular basis, especially now that they neither needed it for day-to-day survival nor for some future potential war stockpile. Now it was just a fun luxury to get to do it for more delicious food. And even better was that it had become a good bonding opportunity with Zuko. It wasn't a life-changing, earth-shattering field trip, but he can't actually complain about it.

"Ah, this is the life," Sokka says as he stretches his arms upwards whilst walking. "I can't tell you how much I've missed this sort of thing." Granted, he's gone hunting since coming back to the future, but it's not been super often that he's gone along with Zuko on these expeditions. "Just a lazy day and two guys off in the woods on a beautiful winter day off in search of delicious meat."

Boomerang is out in one hand as he proudly walks forward and occasionally glances down at the tracks, hoping to find evidence of some recent animal.

[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.

[Aang heads outside to greet them when he hears them!

But when he sees what they're holding, he winds up clapping a hand over his mouth and running straight for the bathroom.]

[Iroh is sitting calmly and watching life go by when he spies the trio making their way across the village, he smiles a little as he watches them and gives a slight wave. It seems as though they had finally slain the bear who had troubled them all this time. It was a pity it had come to that, but hopefully the bear would find peace in it's next life]

Congratulations are in order, it seems.

Dragging that damn bear back

Bear with me for a moment, Zuko.
