[Aang remembers all too well that Sokka is a warrior. He's seen some of the ugliness that can come from that here in Luceti. Even though he knows Sokka could be very helpful on the battlefield, he's glad that Sokka's staying behind. That Sokka can spend some time without being subjected to the worst this world can throw.]

I understand what you mean, Sokka. I'm gonna work with everyone. [He's had to face it time and time again; he's not the Avatar of this world, truly. But he still wants to be. And things like the clash between Loki and Wan Shi Tong have left him fulfilling some sort of role like that, regardless.]

And... thank you, Sokka. I'm gonna be careful out there. You'll have to look after Ikki while I'm gone.
