Do you need any help finding your way here?

I doubt it. I've been there many times before. I should arrive shortly, after I've found my clothes.

Oh. Well whenever you show up, I should still be here.

Very well! Thank you, Sir Sokka.

Uh, just Sokka is fine.

[Man, everyone's so informal around here.]

Sokka, then.

Good, good. See you soon. [And he'll close his journal or flip to another page or something.]

[A short while later, along comes an Edward, mercifully no longer just in muddy white pants but rather his usual blue outfit. Woo, normality!]

[He'll find Sokka lounging around on the couch (yes, there's a couch now) in the smithy. He'll probably notice that the entire weapon shop has been rearranged in a different style than it used to be. But it's clean for the most part and fairly organized. New Feather weapons even have their own display rack.

But thanks to a handy bell installed on the door, Sokka will notice Edward's arrival immediately. He'll hop up immediately.] Edward, right?

[......WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS SHOP, SOB. Well, so long as the actual blacksmith shop still works alright, he's probably not going to gripe. That's where he spends most of his time, anyway.]

I'm Edward, yes. Sokka?

[Made it awesome, that's what! They're totally getting a soda fountain machine when the Malnosso start delivering luxuries.]

That's right. Nice to meet you. Welcome back!

[Edward will be boggled by it. They don't even have soda where he lives.]

Er... thank you. [Sort of.] Where have you put the broadswords?

[Nor where Sokka lived. But he's been introduced to it.]

Well let's see. We keep those over there. [He points off to one corner.] But we put the newly arrived stuff over there. [And he points to a counter closer to the entrance.]

[Such spoiled archaic kids.]

I see... thank you, I'll remember that in case I need to direct a newcomer myself. [And he heads over to check out the new swords. Thankfully his sword is kind of massive, so it takes him all of five seconds to find the place and notice it lying there. He hefts it up, giving it a thorough inspection. Hmm... looks alright.]

[Blink blink.] That's a big sword.

[He glances over. Well yes, it is, but...] ...It's a broadsword. [They only come in one size ~~wrong. Ed's is just excessive.~~]

Well, yes. That's true. [Awww, his sword is so small too...]

[That's okay, Sokka. Ed will never look down on you for having a small sword. He'll only look down on you because he's a giant.]

Why such an interest in weapons, anyway? Are you a warrior in your world?

[He is giant. Way to make him feel short, jeez.]

That's right. Warrior of the Water Tribe. [His two favorite things? Weapons and meat.]

[Sorry, dude.]

Water Tribe?

It's where I'm from, back home. The Southern Water Tribe.

What sort of weaponry do you have experience with?

Well, there's my sword and boomerang here. [He'll show those off one by one. A jet black jian sword and a blue boomerang sharpened to a knife's edge.] But then there's clubs, spears, my machete, and... well, a lot of the stuff in here, actually.

[....Actually that's pretty cool, having such variety.] I'm impressed. I only have training with a single blade.

[Say what you will about Sokka, he's a genius adept at picking up new weapons.]

Well I've never really used a sword like that. Where I'm from, you kind of have to be fast with your weapon to really have a chance.
