[Sokka chuckles a bit at that.] Yeah, I know a very very loose history of that Republic thingy that Aang established out of the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom. I found out I have a statue in the city somewhere too, so it really can't be an all bad place, I suppose.

[He gives Korra a secret grin, as if to say that he forgives her for being friends with so many Fire Nation folk.]

Haha yeah, we are being pretty dumb about this, aren't we? Just complete dorks not doing the things we should be doing.

[With that, Sokka stands up and he offers Korra a hand up too.]
