"If we get our own place," Sokka starts out, "by and large we won't need to spend our income on such things. We can keep more of it inside the foreigner collective so that we can actually maybe afford to be a little more generous with the kedan. Besides, if we ever have to worry about taxes from the kedanese gangs... or are you suddenly talking about the insane markup they're still selling things at?"
Yeah, Enjolras is definitely getting back into his French side. Sokka's losing a little track of all the minutiae that he's bringing up.
But that was the second time so far that someone had suddenly looked at Sokka with an intense surprise at Sokka's diplomatic skills. And it was interesting; he had in many ways considered himself something of the organiser and, dare he say it, potential leader of Team Avatar, but Aang had always been the titular and more important member. But to be someone who was one of the forerunners for them? Has he always been selling himself short, just like he had been doing before finding Master Piandao?
"You... really think so?" Sokka's voice practically cracks at that, and he's just so surprised. "You're... not the only one to have told that to me..."
