[At first he frowns, because she's mocking Boomerang, but he keeps walking and lightens up.]

Presently? No. But anything can become one. So try not to lose them.

Well they're mine now so I doubt they're about to become a family heirloom for anyone.

Don't be so sure, Yuri. One day you may fall in battle and Yotsuba, declaring to carry on your memory, will take the knives and fight the good fight until you come back in a week.

[Sokka starts pulling on the edge of a paper towel. Which is harder than he thought it would be. This shouldn't require this much exertion of strength!]

Yotsuba?

[ Okay color her face confused and her voice surprised. She cares about the kid a lot, but family? True, not, or incredibly confusing, it's not like Yuri would admit anything more than being a little protective of her.

Though the actual description of it sounded like something Yotsuba would do, definitely. ]

I'd rather avoid her having to ever use knives for anything but dinner. [ She gives Sokka a look that expresses she's probably not that amused at being accused of caring about someone that quickly. ] --Are we counting everyone that lives in the same house as family now?

[ At least she's going to go try to help Sokka now by going to the other side of the roll to try to push the roll in time with his pulling of the paper towel. ]

[He's mildly surprised to see her reaction to it. Especially since it was a joke and not a real accusation of familial attachment.]

I don't know. I guess it depends on what you think of family. [Sokka is able to get the paper moving now, so he starts pushing it down to the floor. This will probably take awhile.] But you're all she's got, aren't you?

Hinata's there now, it's not like I'm the only one who can take care of her. And Otonashi was before and she misses him a lot. Naoi-- [ A brief pause, but her tone changes. ] No, I can't even suggest Naoi gives a damn about her or anyone else.

[ Yuri's pushing and moving along with the paper towels, so she has to go back to where she started after a few moments. Putting that much body weight into one spot seemed to work better than little bits at a time though. ]

I was just making a point. You take care of her. Other people do. It's a taking care of a child situation.

[By now it looks like the towels are hitting the ground, so he stops. Time to start scaling.]

In which case I'm probably completely doing a great job.

[ Ahaha. Right Yuri.

Anyway, Yuri's considering trying to pull one of those bullshit things in the movies where they stick a knife in the giant flag thing and fall down while it tears but it helps to stop the fall or something.

In the end she goes with not risking suicide and follows Sokka onto the paper towel ]

Oh, definitely. I'm sure you're a wonderful influence.

[As cool as that might sound to Sokka as well, he prefers a nonlethal form of climbing. And also, remembering the kitchen sink thing, he makes sure Yuri stays level with him on climbing or just below him. No sneak peeks here!]

Absolute best influence is what you meant, I'm sure.

[ Yuri notices his effort to stay there and has to admit he's kind of a gentleman. At least mentally admit. As for the climbing? This is going way too slowly for her taste, but her patience hasn't given out just yet at least. ]

She'll be calling all her friends idiots in no time.

[Sokka himself is starting to get a similar idea about this descent thing. This is kind of tiring. For them at their size, it's a pretty long climb.]

I only call idiots where idiots are. Self included.

[ Yuri's going to rather suddenly and frustratedly yell. ]

AHHHHH! I feel like we're descending Mt. Fuji!

[Sokka stops and stares at her startled.]

Was that really necessary!?

Not remotely, but it made me feel better-- What do you think the odds of me pulling off some kind of special stunt without dying are?

Well given you can't die, I'm going to guess... reasonably high?

Smart ass. What do you think the odds of me pulling off a stunt without getting taken out for a week? I'd rather not find out if my healing actually does work completely normally if I can avoid it.

Well, our relative sizes should technically dampen the effects of falling. Besides that, your wings should slow your descent. [A pause.] Well. They would if your raincoat didn't cover them.

I'm not taking my clothes off. I'm not planning on just jumping or letting go, anyway.

[If they weren't dangling from a paper towel right now, he could cut some holes in there for her. As it is...]

So. What do you have in mind, then?

[ Yuri looks down for a moment.

Oh well, might as well try. ]

If I get taken out you'd better make sure Naoi doesn't try to kick Hinata and Yotsuba out of the house. Got it?

Uh, sure. I'll do that. Good luck?

[He's curious to see what she has in mind.]

[ Yuri climbs down a little bit more to the perforation in the paper towels, then rips it in two spots while holding on with the other. ]

See ya!

[ Cue her putting both hands on the ripped piece and falling DOWN, DOWN, DOWN as the ripped paper falls with her weight-- ]

Oof!

[ Then stops at the next paper towel because of the perforation again. Definitely not as cool as in the movies, but probably safer. If it'd gone all the way down, she's pretty sure she would've broken both of her legs after how fast the first paper towel ran through.

Yuri reaches toward the solid paper towel that she's dangling near and tries to rip another hole in it while holding onto the dangling piece from the last one. ]

I think this might go faster, Sokka!

[Just as she starts to descend, he's about to ask just who Naoi is. But it's too late.

He watches with interest. Okay, that's pretty cool. He'll do the same thing, but he uses a knife to tear the towel, before descending in that way. He's a little heavier, so he's probably going to end up a little faster than her. Hopefully not too much.]

Now this isn't too bad!

This way we won't be climbing for an entire day!

[ It's a good thing she had a head start, at least. She's trying to go faster so that he doesn't actually end up beneath her by accident. ]

Good! I had other plans today that didn't involve climbing. Like pretty much anything else.

[As they get closer to the bottom, Sokka decides to get a little ambitious as the fear of death becomes less significant. For those last two towels, he slices down them both using the knife. Much faster than before and reaching the bottom first.]
