Sokka has... a lot on his plate at the moment. There's work that they're behind on at the Palace, setting up all of the Foreigners' new homes. That's definitely one of the priorities, and much as he'd like to spend all day home taking care of his friends like he used to before Malicant was defeated, he really didn't have the luxury of a flexible schedule to just call off work on a moment's notice. Then there was the fact that someone had been thieving in Stark Industries, and he's already promised himself that he's going to start investigating that to the best of his ability.

Little does he know what's happened earlier in the day, and it's certainly the last thing he needs. But still he's going to find out about it soon enough. He gets back to the Midnight Hotel, throws his things in his room, and then immediately heads next door and knocks. "Hey Aang, grub's on downstairs! Want to head down and get some food in your stomach?"

Usually, that would bring him straight to the door before he could even finish.
