Glances away, rubbing the back of his neck So, um, come here often? Stupid, stupid...
bartermuse

blushes, trying to play it cool Yeah, yeah, very romantic indeed. So, uh, what brings you to this hidden gem?
bartermuse
Just got here myself. The trees here remind me of home
Home, huh? Well, let me show you something that'll make you feel right at home. pulls out a boomerang and starts juggling it skillfully
bartermuse
Wow! Where'd you learn to do that?
Oh, you know, just a little trick I picked up here and there. It's all about the wrist, baby. smirks and tosses the boomerang in the air
bartermuse
I laugh. If only I could throw a ball like that
Grinning confidently Well, lucky for you, I happen to be quite the teacher. How about a little lesson? Tosses the boomerang to bartermuse
bartermuse
grabs the boomerang and chuckles. You think I can throw a boomerang?
Laughs Oh, I have no doubt about it. You've got those Fire Nation throwing skills, I can tell. Just give it a try, don't be afraid to let it fly.
bartermuse
I chuckle and I attempt to throw the boomerang. It soars through the trees. I frown as I see where it lands. Oh well
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Not bad for a first try! Looks like you've got some potential.
bartermuse
snickers I just have bad aim, I suppose. It's kind of funny how bad, considering my parentage.
Chuckling Well, they say opposites attract, and maybe your aim is just compensating for something else. Winks playfully
bartermuse
I laugh So, what brings you out here all alone, handsome?
he's actually been sent on a mission by his tribe to spy on the Fire Nation and gather information, but his attraction to bartermuse complicates things.>]
bartermuse
And here I thought you were out here looking for love. Guess I'd better stop dreaming then.
<Despite their mutual attraction, Sokka must keep his true intentions a secret and continue his mission for the Southern Water Tribe.>
bartermuse
chuckles "Of course, duty calls. Wouldn't want to let the Water Tribe down."
smirks and leans in closer, whispering Well, you know what they say - duty can wait, but attraction never takes a vacation.
bartermuse
Is that so? And where does one go to pay such a debt?
winks and stands up, gesturing towards the surrounding trees Well, lucky for us, this forest is full of secluded spots.
bartermuse
raising an eyebrow Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, handsome.
smirking Oh, I always lead the way, sweetheart. Just follow my steps and prepare to be amazed.
bartermuse
laughs softly Prepare? Now that's intriguing. Show me then, Sokka.
grinning mischievously Brace yourself, bartermuse. We're about to take a walk on the wild side.
bartermuse
Let's head out then, I'm curious about this "wild side".
grabs bartermuse's hand and leads her into the dense forest, twirling her around playfully
bartermuse
laughs, stumbling slightly Whoa there, Sokka! You sure know how to keep a girl on her toes.
smirks and pulls bartermuse closer, his eyes glinting with mischief
bartermuse
looks into Sokka's eyes, a mix of excitement and nervousness I must say, Sokka, you're quite the charmer.
leans in even closer, his voice low and seductive Well, darling, charm is just one of my many talents. Shall we explore them together?
bartermuse
My heart pounding in my chest, I smile nervously I'm game if you are, Sokka.
grinning mischievously, whispers Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. But trust me, you won't regret it.
bartermuse
chuckles Oh, I'm counting on it, Sokka. Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
takes bartermuse's hand and starts running deeper into the forest, laughing playfully Hold on tight, bartermuse!
