2 | rain rain go away... | open - Friday afternoon/evening
With his cast finally off, Sokka had taken to doing a little exploring on his own, though he always made sure to not go far unless he had some one else with him. Toph was back, but that didn't stop him from remembering vividly seeing her as a shadow not that long ago. It was an image that had settled in his mind firmly, making his skin crawl and his stomach turn whenever he thought about it. He was trying hard, very very hard to not, and to act as though nothing was wrong, but even that was starting to strain on him as the days wore on in to weeks.
This day he was in the long room, the area next to the stairs that led to the trolley platform, not doing much except wandering about in the open space, looking at the stone work thoughtfully. His thoughts weren't on the immediate area, though the gears were clearly turning in his head.
At least until the thunder outside boomed so loudly he thought his heart had stopped. He turned and headed to one of the windows, having to haul himself up to the ledge just to lean against the glass and watch as the rain came down and the lightening crackled across the sky.
"Whoa..." he mumbled to himself, marveling at the sudden change in weather. It was impressive, but he was more than glad that he was currently under a roof that wasn't open or leaking.

It didn't come out as an angry snap. It was closer to a desperate whine of some one already at the end of their rope. Plans worked when people knew what they were dealing with. And they came easier when there was at least some small hope of them working.
If Toph felt hopeless, Sokka felt even more so.
"I don't know..." he repeated quietly, shoulders slumping. "What are we even up against? This isn't the Fire Nation or any of that stuff."

Worse than the Dai Li.
Worse than Azula and all her craziness.
Toph fell back into a stone chair that wasn't there a second before. She slumped, a loud sigh escaping her.
"I don't know. You're the thinker, I'm the fighter."

Sokka made a displeased noise and dropped down on to the stone floor, ignoring how cold it was even as he folded his legs up and put a fist to his chin.
"Shadows. Castle. Who knows what else..."

"But whatever it is, we need to find it and deal with it so we can all go back home before something bad happens."

He let out a sigh, tugging on his messy ponytail thoughtfully. Well, two heads were better than one, especially if both of them were halfway decent strategists.
It was a start at least.
