Characters: Aang, Katara...and you?
Date: Mid-April
Location: The Midnight Hotel
Situation: Aang returns home post mugging.
Warnings/Rating:
Times were tough, and they only seemed to be getting tougher.
Day after day Aang returned to the construction site to help with the new development. Waterbending the sopping land dry, earthbending levees, firebending to cure bricks, airbending whenever possible to get from place to place quickly as needed.
It was some of the most grueling training he'd endured since before the end of The War.
To make matters worse, the ever dwindling supply of produce and grain meant there was less food to go around, with the lack of variety hitting those with dietary restrictions, like Aang, hardest. Of course even when there was food for him, he never ate it all, opting instead to share what little he had with those whose bowls he believed should've been a bit more full.
That's just his way.
Helping people is his duty, and he will not be negligent in his duties...never again.
Which is why when the middle-aged kedan woman comes to him seeking help he doesn't hesitate, he doesn't question. As he follows her she tells him of the strange animal currently wreaking havoc in her home. And please, won't he please help.
Only when he enters the house...there is no animal.
There isn't much of anything really. No animal, no furniture, no nothing. It's not until he tries to turn towards her to ask her what's going on that he realizes he can't move.
At all.
He's utterly paralyzed.
His mind races as panic sets in.
No he wants to protest, to scream, but can't.
There's not even time to focus in an attempt to call forth the Avatar State, because in seconds she's on him, rifling through his robes in search of something, anything.
His wages for the day.
The woven necklace he'd been working on.
The several decorative stones that he'd been planing to make meditation beads out of.
And then finally...his soul gem.
There's a clatter as the previous items fall to the floor in favor of stripping this one, singular item from him.
As quickly as the attack had begun, it's over. He hears her whisper something of an apology just before she exits the house, closing the door behind her.
Leaving him alone, still unable to move.

There's a pause for some controlled breathing.
"...i really need to use the bathroom."

Well, that's a little more sane. But still not exactly Sokka's favourite answer. But still, he'll do it. Because why not.
"Alright, let's get you up," he says as he sits down on the bed next to Aang, puts Aang's arm around his shoulder, and tries to get Aang ambulatory again.

"...this is the worst," he mumbles as they stand. "Sokka? remind me to never make fun of people with motion sickness again. Like if someone doesn't want to fly because they say it'll make them sick? Remind me of this."

"Oh believe me, there's not much chance I'll let you forget this." Pause. Oh wow, that sounded... harsh. "That... totally came out wrong." Though not entirely untrue.
no subject
"...maybe," he says finally, voice quiet. "But you're not wrong."
