We honestly don't know. Could be we are, I mean, we've had people leave here and come back from home. But that could just as easily be Atroma putting memories into our heads. It's impossible to know for sure.
I guess that's something. Gives you the chance to deal with this as you want to.
[...well, fuck. There goes that reassurance that she had. THANKS, SOKKA.]
No offense, but I hope you're wrong.
[Hopefully, yes. But there might be a hitch to that:]
So long as he isn't put on this ship come the next shuffle. But I fear it'd be my luck, and that would complicate things tenfold. And this ship has enough going on as is. [She runs her hands over her face.] Never had I thought that I would have hoped to not have my own husband on the ship with me. [And does she feel fucking awful for it.]
[He is the best person to turn to for comfort ever. ]
So do I.
[He wants the people he cares about safe. Home. ]
Hey, don't worry about it. If he is, we'll find a way to deal with it. Everyone's pretty crammed right now, but if anyone has spare space, we can ask for a transfer. Your comfort comes first.
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.

[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.
