Well, it looks like Akito is stepping in on Sokka's resident position of being the town complainer. Seriously, move over; you're getting in Sokka's way.

Sokka looks around at the scads and scads of Foreigners around... by which to say Sokka is looking at not many people. "And this is better? Crossing the finish line practically by yourself?" Sokka sighs. "Look, I get it. Why bother being potentially disappointed when you can set your expectations low to begin with? But if you actually want people to notice you, saying quiet isn't going to change that." That's why Sokka is rather... unquiet.
