||Flameo 003|| Action

[Since today happens to be a pleasant, breezy day, Roku has gone out to take advantage of this and practice some airbending. He's hanging out at the barracks, AWAY from the house so he doesn't end up doing something to the house like last time. He's been going through all the motions and actually making some progress, able to make more powerful gust with more control. Though, maybe the wind might be helping him along but it's not a bad thing. It's like an invisible teacher.]

If only I had my glider...

This is true. One more wouldn't be a problem.

[markofthewise]

There you go. Positive thinking.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Hey Sokka...you good at making stuff right?

[markofthewise]

[That's a change of subject. Huh.]

Well I do work at the smithy.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Are you familiar with the glider the airbenders had? I had one before, but it wasn't with me when got here.

[markofthewise]

Oh, yeah. Aang had one, in fact. [He pauses. Oh!] You want me to try and make you one, huh?

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

If it's not too much trouble. I'd really appreciate it.

[markofthewise]

Well... I should be able to figure something out. I think. My friend the Mechanist made one for Aang after his old one was destroyed.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Maybe I can help out too, since I sort of remember what a glider looks like.

[markofthewise]

Well you can definitely help out by testing it. But I bet I can do better than just a regular old glider anyway.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Sure, I can handle that. I'm looking forward to see what you'll come up.

[markofthewise]

Sounds like a plan. And maybe you can help me out with something in turn.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Only makes sense I do something in return. What sort of help do you need?

[markofthewise]

[His expression is suddenly serious.]

I want you to firebend at me.

Oka-

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

...

Why?

[markofthewise]

You saw me using that fire magic right?

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Yea...you want try it up against a firebender?

[markofthewise]

I don't think I can out-fire you. I want to see if I can use Eferin to keep myself from getting hit. If I get into fight with a firebender, I want to be able to fight and not just run from the attacks.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

I'll start with small bursts all right?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka nods and pulls out his sword again. It's not worth doing unless he has a weapon in hand so he can fight at the same time. He slides into a defensive posture.]

Alright, do it.

[Although he tries not to, Sokka instinctively dodges it. However at the same time, he strike at the flame with his blade. It seems to have the intended effect of dispersing the flames completely. Okay, this seems promising so far. He'll hold his ground next time.]

{This time he keeps his blade position in front of him, slicing through the fireball itself. With Eferin's aid, he's able to diver the fire to go on either side of him.]
