...oh. They really did leave me in the woods.

...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[Souji's back from his mallynap as a kid; a kid totally opposite of what he's usually like. He vaguely remembers Luceti and is wandering around in the woods on the edge of town, confused and dragging his journal around.]

Something really, really good must happen to you when you get older.

[Clearly this is the only explanation.]

.... [He so cannot imagine that ever happening, but if Sokka says so, then maybe it's true.]

....Is that how people change? Having good things happen to them?

Well, it works the other way around too, with bad things. But I think that would just make you into some kind of evil guy. [Brooding kid + tragic backstory = supervillain]

...I don't want to be evil.

[Captain Obvious. He stares at the basket at the pig glaring at him.]

...What sort of evil villain has a grumpy pig for a pet. That would be depressing.

The kind that makes his students wake up at ridiculously early hours in the morning.

[Who knows, maybe he can instill in younger Souji the ideals of waking up at reasonable hours.]

Waking up early is good for you. You can finish everything before the others wake up.

[Nope, Sokka. Even tiny Souji wakes up early.]

Maybe. But you can't do cool night time things after everyone else is asleep. So you lose out there.

...You can just do them before everyone wakes up.

[He does not understand this logic, Sokka. Train him in the ways of being a rambunctious kid.]

[Action - October 10th]

[Kids. Kids don't understand these things. So he sighs and shakes his head, somewhat amused.]

Anyway, I guess I should let you do... whatever you're doing. If you change your mind about the sword thing, let me know.

... [He bows his head and picks up the basket, much to his pig's unhappiness. Saizou can be heard snorting and grunting inside.]

I won't, but thank you.

[Action - October 10th]

[markofthewise]

Your loss. Later.

[And thus he is gone! Ciao.]
