“Come ooon… it’s just a little blubber, you’ll like it!”
The kid sticks her tongue out, declining the bland, salty chunks that Sokka’s trying to spoon into her. He can’t believe that they’ve staged a repeat of the Omashu incident, and after the biggest baddest assault on the Fire Nation attempted in living memory. Not only that, but Katara, in all her unfailing motherliness, is not in the mood right now- and so it’s falling to him to keep the little Fire Nation baby out of trouble.
He doesn’t want to broach the subject with her- he’s honestly afraid of the answer he’ll get (something along the lines of 'stop wasting our supplies on the enemy!' is his first bet, and one he doesn't want to win). But, no time for that now, here comes the war-balloon…
“Do you want me to chew it for you? I warn you, there’ll be nothing leeeeeft…” he teases. The little girl’s glower as she sits with crossed arms upon his knee says plainly that he can have it, and there’s something kinda familiar about that pout…
