052 [Written]

I am in need of a sparring partner. Preferably someone familiar with Japanese katana, knowledgeable of different styles, and willing to practice early morning hours. He needs practice with several opponents, so I'll take as many of you as want to help♥ But I do ask that supernatural powers be kept to a minimum, hm? Not that a little here and there won't help.

Thank you~

[For any looking for him personally, he's finally emerged from his room after over a week of illness and will be at House 50.]

[Wow... he knows who this is for immediately. Not that it's much of a mystery.]

You don't have to find someone for me. Me and Suki have been doing fine sparring together.

Suki-san is a wonderful warrior, I am sure, but I'd like to send my own chosen partners to you, too. Various styles are good to practice against, yes?

[Unspoken is an apology for...basically being AWOL for the past 10 days.]

Well, yeah, that's always true. You're the master and all. But you don't need to start holding interviews and stuff for my sake.

Then should I just say that I'm bored and want to meet new people who I can then send to try and beat you up?

Yeah. Sure. Call it a belated birthday present too.

Well, I was going to confer a license of knowledge in the style, but I suppose sending strangers to attack you at random points in the day could be a good present, too.

A license? [The random beatings goes unnoticed for the moment.]

Yes, I can't very well say you've learned a style without at least saying you are certified in it, yes? You would need another year or so of training to teach, but at this point, I would say you know much of what Tennen Rishin has to offer. I am very proud of you, Sokka-kun.

[Wow. In another year he could actually be able to teach the style? ~~Dammit, Katara was able to teach Waterbending after a week.]~~

Thanks, Master Souji. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.
