Last night was...

...last night was just what Mel needed to work out some of her issues right now :-D?

Since coming back, she's been doing rounds of the farm with a determined eye, making lists of things that need doing, doing some of the more urgent things; maybe she's spoken to you about what you need to do, but it's possible she hasn't yet caught upon all the gossip.

Now, as Hana and Loo play together in the grass, she's sitting and staring comtemplatively at a car that once flew. Funny how, even though one may have a genius mechanic for a brother and live with still more, there are some things for which help still cannot be asked for.

Mel wants to make it work again, and she's not sure where to start.

Sokka looks over at them doing all this, too, and his worried frown turns into a smirk quickly.

And then becomes a thoughtful frown.

"I don't think so. Katara used to freeze me to the ice when I did it to her."

"Oh." Mel says, relieved. "Good. Harth usedta run crying to Erin if I even touched him."

Mel was a difficult sister to have.

"I'm the oldest," Sokka points out. "I'm not allowed to go running to anyone if my little sister beats me up.

"Katara was just stubborn."

"Stubborn I can live with," Mel says. "Until they're teens, anyway."

"I think they're supposed to be worse with that when they're teens," Sokka replies, grinning. "I'll be hiding until they're twenty, by the way."

[slayer_fray]

"Oh, good."

Dry Mel is dry.

"Where d'you think you'll be able to hide from those two?"

Sokka's reply is prompt and smug. "Somewhere cold and wet that isn't flammible."

Obviously, he's been thinking about this.

...or he has experience with hiding from their father in places like that.

"Great," Mel says.

"Now I know where to look for you."

"It'll be in the middle of nowhere on flat ground," Sokka informs her. He apparently thinks this will be some sort of deterrent.

Mel smirks at him.

Of course it will.
