I... appreciate that, really, but I couldn't do that to him. I wouldn't want him to feel unwanted or that he did something wrong. [Enough people have made him feel that way his whole life.] If it should come to be that he's on the ship, I will adjust. We'd be lucky to have him on the ship, anyway.
[Which she sincerely believes. WHILE SOKKA'S AWESOME FOR BEING CONCERNED ABOUT HER COMFORT, she prioritizes Alistair over that.]
[Sokka smiles, nods. He understands. If it had been him, he wouldn't want Suki thinking she'd wronged him, somehow. That would hurt more than dealing with her here not knowing him. ]
Okay, but you know you always got me if you need help with that if it happens. Or heck, even if it doesn't and you just wanna talk.

Thank you. I'll definitely let you know if I need to.
[She may have to in the coming days. This isn't going to go away overnight.]
And thank you for... checking on me. I was hesitant to tell anyone what happened, but I feel a little better now that I've talked about it.

Don't mention it. You're part of this crew, and I wanna make sure you're okay. Or even if you're not, let you know you got people looking out for you.
