Hello Lee
"Hello, my name is Lee! G'day, my name is Lee! Lee, Lee, Lee! Everybody in the earth kingdom's name is freaking LEE!" Sokka's hands were snapping up and up down like a puppets', before his arms exploded in the air in exasperation.
Sokka, Katara and Toph were exploring an Earth Kingdom market that was filled with travelling merchants haggling prices with customers. The sound of the numerous squabbling was deafening.
Katara toned down her giggles as she replied, "Stop exaggerating, Sokka! We met some people who have different names!"
"Yeh, but those people are special! I'm talking about ordinary villagers here!" To prove his point, he jerked his head to the left and called out to a bulky man with less clothes than was appropriate.
"Hey, you! What's your name?" the man's corded neck spun in the teen's direction.
"Feng, why?" he yelled back.
"What?! You name isn't Lee?" Katara and Toph grinned at Sokka's disappointed face.
"WHAT? So, you have a problem with my name, eh? Is it too simple for your majesty?" the man started approaching with his fists curled in fury.
"Time to save Snoozle's head again!" Toph gripped a frightened Sokka's hand and veered him away from the man, diving deeper into the throng of green-clad people.
"So, what was that about you saying that everybody's name was Lee?" Katara couldn't help but smirk.
"Stop looking so haughty!" he pointed a finger at her, catching the attention of several passers-by. Katara slapped his hand and scolded him to move on.
"Well, that was only one guy that I asked, and the way he dressed wasn't even normal. Actually, he wasn't even dressed at all!" Sokka broke the short-lasted silence and caused Toph to groan.
"Can we just go home now? All I can see are people stomping and it's making me dizzy!"
"Nope! I still need to prove my baby sister wrong!" He poked another lanky stranger with a straw hat and weathered green and brown clothes, which he rewarded Sokka with a swift arm twist and a head lock. Toph shifted her feet and a stone protruded out of the earth to make the man stumble, which caught him by surprise. He released a dazed Sokka, but as he raised his head, he hastily bowed it so that not even Toph could see his features from her height. He mumbled an apology and started to stride away, but Sokka pulled his right arm back.
"What was that for? I only poked you!" The water tribe teen's eyes squinted suspiciously at the man, trying to take a glimpse under his wide brimmed hat. The man only tilted his hat further down with his head. Now that their height was compared, the man was taller than Sokka, but not by much. He must be around Sokka's age, then! Katara mused.
"I said I was sorry, ok? Can you let me go?" the raspy voice tingled her spine. This voice- she has heard it before! Sokka released him, albeit unwillingly.
"I didn't catch your name. Mine's Sokka." The brown skinned teen faked a pleasant voice.
"My name? oh its, uh, Lee- "
"AHAH! SEE?! I WAS RIGHT!" Sokka whooped and stuck his tongue out at her.
Katara crossed her arms and apologised to the teenager for Sokka's childishness.
"Not so fast Sugar-queen, this guy's footsteps seem familiar to me." Toph butted in. The stranger stiffened.
"Why don't we, uh, talk somewhere else? Everybody can hear us in the middle of a market" his voice seemed anxious and his feet was slowly shifting backward.
"Not until I get this stupid hat off your head!" Sokka replied as he yanked the hat off. If Katara had anticipated his movements, she would have yelled some common sense into him and lecture her brother on manners. But her gaze was fixed on the stranger.
Oh, how she regretted looking at his face.
