Oh, great. Now he was making this guy feel bad, which made him feel bad. Sokka was a simple guy, compared to... okay, a lot of people that he knew, and as a rule he didn't like to go around deliberately making people feel worse about themselves. And if he was going to be completely honest with the elf-guy, nobody was going to be feeling exactly great any time soon. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Look, I'm really not trying to make you feel dumb or anything. I'm trying to help. You seem like a pretty decent person, and if that stuff means a lot to you or your family, I really wouldn't want to see someone take it from you just because they can. I've seen enough of that. Not here, now that I think about it, but... you know. Other places." He coughed. "Idon'tknowifyougettogohomeagain." He coughed again. It didn't hide the statement very well.
