Toph and Penance are back at their campsite. Sokka has to admit he isn't quite sure where this Metropolis is any more, or if they're even driving in the right direction -- but nobody really minds. There's plenty of food and water around, they've still got heaps of spare fuel, and all four teens are having the time of their lives racketing around the countryside.
Currently Claire is teaching Sokka a few more of the finer points of driving. Or at least, that's their excuse. There's a lot of laughing and the occasional squeal -- WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT FROM SOKKA, NUH UH -- as they rattle along the road and occasionally come to a screeching halt.

"...because I don't."
"Do you? Want me to?"
no subject
"No."

no subject
No one's ever asked before.
"I don't mind."
no subject
... but he wants to kiss her, and he totally has permission.
So he does.
no subject
She was expecting it, which is a welcome first, and she had time to expect it, but Claire likes kissing.She leans into him, passionately and enthusiastic, as her hand reachs up to cup his head.
Hey, he's good at this.
no subject
Occupied with warm soft good-smelling beautiful Claire.
"Mmm," he informs her, sliding his hand further into her hair in return and pulling her a little closer with the arm around her waist.
no subject
...she has no grip on the mud, and suddenly she's falling over.
no subject
For the fraction of a second before his own feet slip with the addition of Claire's weight and he lands on his back in the mud beneath her, anyway.
Then he just thinks it's a little funny. It'd be less funny, but he's still got his arms around Claire and that makes everything awesome.
"...whoops."
no subject
"This is totally your fault."
no subject
GIANT GRIN.
no subject
"Stoppit!" she protests, still laughing.
no subject
"C'mon, we should probably get up."
So he can kiss her again. :D?
no subject
Claire struggles briefly in the mud, falling down at least once before she gets up, but she has a manly man to help her after all.
And then, yeah. there can be kissing. Muddy kissing.
no subject
(He can't wait to tell the old Sokka about this, either. She really likes him!)
But eventually, it occurs to him -- during a break in kissing -- that there's something weird about the lump on the ground in the field behind them, over by the old pigcow trough.
no subject
So when he stops and is looking somewhere, she can't see it without moving, so doesn't.
"What is it?"
no subject
He grins at her, arms likewise securely and properly around her waist.
"It's not as pretty as you."
no subject
EEEEEEEEE SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND EEEEEEEEEE
"You wanna go check it out?"
no subject
"I guess we should."
no subject
"Where?"
no subject
... what it kind of looks like becomes clearer as they climb the ditch hand in hand and wriggle through the wire fence.
"... a body."
no subject
She lets go and steps forward to get a better look.
He's right, it is a body.
A body of a girl about their age, with the top of her head sliced cleanly through, exposing an empty skull.
"Oh no..."
That's not shock. That's recognition.
no subject
Sokka' voice trails off into silence, and he doesn't manage to complete the movement of stepping forward to put his arms around her waist.
no subject
"Sylar," she whispers.
no subject
After that long, long moment, though, he swallows and his fingers curl slowly around hers.
"Who's ..." he asks faintly, not taking his eyes off the figure on the ground, "... who's Sylar?"
