Katara is READY.

She can totally (nearly) waterbend well enough to heal, and she can totally (actually) leave the farm, and every day they wait is a day she's more nervous.

R-E-A-D-Y!

... and therefore, of course, she's sitting in the kitchen practicing bending the spilled water behind the sink and wishing she could eat the cookies Steph made.

The cookies smell delicious.

She's so damn Katara.

Sokka sighs and turns to grab a cookie. "Fine. Whatever. We're almost ready to go and my car can handle a few more."

Katara says happily, glad he agreed.

"And Steph," he adds, suddenly not feeling even slightly bad about this. "Maybe Mel and the girls, too."

Katara frowns a little, considering this.
Maybe he shouldn't take those people! She hardly knows them! :O

Sokka will find a way to smack his discorporeal sister if she says that.

"We can pick up another car. Steph knows how to drive."

Which means he'd have to make the trip without Steph in the passenger seat, which he would really prefer if Suki and Toph were going to be there, too.

Katara's smile is sunny again. Sokka fixes everything!

"Ohhhh yeah, I do."

Otherwise, how will he keep from smacking his sister's smartass friends?

Katara grins at him, sitting up straighter.
He has a permission. Lucky him.

Yeah.

Sokka takes a few bites of his cookie. "I'll go talk to them about it. Are you ready to go soon? How's practice going?"

Katara says, beaming at him.

Ghostly hugs.

Sokka frowns - though the ghostly hugs ruin it some. Even if it makes him shiver, it's nice to have Katara trying to hug him.

"Well... yeah, okay, we can go but if you can't do it yet..."

Katara promises him, giving up on trying to hug and settling for just leaving ghostly hands on his shoulders and beaming up at him.

Sokka still frowned at her worriedly but nodding, reaching out to put his hand over the outline of her shoulder. "Okay. If you think you can do it, okay. We'll go as soon as you're ready."

Katara beams at him.

she repeats happily.

"I know it will."

Though she'd probably be exactly the same. Just able to actually hug him instead of making him shiver.

Which might still be worth it, just to know she's alive and well.

Sokka takes a deep breath and sighs, shaking his head and backing up. "All right, I'll go talk to Steph and Mel. Go tell your friends, okay?"

Katara beams at him.

Sokka smiled at her and backed out of the room to walk down the hallway.

When he was about halfway to the stairs, he knocked his head against the wall a few times.

...yeah. That'll hold him for a while.
