@warriorled ➔ "I'm not gonna make it. I failed."
the urge to disagree is nigh overpowering , clawing at something deep in his soul that hates to see sokka like this : dejected and carrying so much burden. it's a potentially debilitating feeling that aang knows well and one he wouldn't wish on anyone. but that urge has to be suppressed for now is not the time for faux platitudes. he won't do that to a friend. instead the boy searches for a different route , a constructive solution —-- and it's hard to come up with a better idea than the idea guy himself . . . so why try to ?
❝ sokka , i've never seen you fail at anything. i don't think you can fail. ❞ though serious , there's a hint of levity to his voice aiming to lift spirits , redirect dark thoughts. the airbender resolutely refuses let his friend wallow.
a hand lifts to rest on the elder boy's shoulder , a gesture to both reassure worry and focus attention. ( look at me. i want you to really hear me when i say this ) ❝ if you haven't figured out a way to fix this , then we're not finished yet. ❞ he says it like it's so obvious , so easy and matter of fact. we haven't reach the end of this story. there's still another chapter to write and sokka holds the pen. ❝ so what can i do to help ? ❞
