[Hey, Sokka's not trying to intimidate anyone. Unless Valdis is just ignoring Sokka's presence in the room because he's a little more animated and zany than the other two, at which point, she can knock herself out with that.]
Well, in fairness, Enj and I had that idea the other day.
[He grumbles a bit because that he feels like that rebuke doesn't apply to him, even if he was pretty angry just a bit ago. There is some justifiable anger within him, even if he's a little carried away sometimes.]
Look, I'm sure the kedan aren't completely ungrateful for the things we've done for them. I'm sure they like the technology and that they like not having the Creep Lord ruling over the turtle any longer. [Try as he might, Sokka just won't say Malicant's name out loud now that there's a nickname for him.]
[And then, turning to Valdis, indicating that he's got a small idea of what's going on, he adds:]
But if I gather rightly, we've got a couple large gangs that are ruling the city now that there's no more emperor to speak of. So we either have to make friends with one of the gangs or convince the kedan not in the gangs to like us better than the gangs themselves. Either of which is going to require us working with them.
Look, I'm not saying we have to be completely oogie [he says this word half-romantically and half-deadpan] to the kedan, and let me tell you, I'm not too fond of them myself right now, so I won't be the first. But we do have to live with them. And at least pretend to be happy about it?
