“Of course I'm going to marry Yue,” Hahn said with a smirk. “She's the chief's daughter. I'm the best warrior in the tribe. It's only natural that she's mine.”
“You- you think she's some kind of prize!” Sokka said, putting down the boomerang that he'd been sharpening.
“What does it matter to you?” Hahn said. “It isn't like you'd ever get to be with her. I mean, look at you. You can't even hold a spear right. No offense.”
The fight that followed was not Sokka's best, though he managed to land a few good blows.
“You want Yue for yourself?” Hahn said with a weird grin. “Why don't you ask her if she even likes you back?”
“I don't like her like that,” Sokka said. “But you... shouldn't talk about girls that way.”
Hahn beat him up pretty badly. Black eye, split lip, the whole works. Sokka'd been beaten up before, but it wasn't fun.
This time, Katara had magic glowy water. So it was better.
“You didn't have to do that,” she told him.
“I know. But I couldn't let him insult your crush like that, could I?” He puffed out his chest and made his best knight-in-shining-armor face. “I mean- what are big brothers for, right?”
She laughed at the face, and then the laugh relaxed into a smile.
“Thank you,” she said.
He hadn't thrown that punch for Katara. But she never had to know that.
