Blind Sukka Spawn

Two things: First, I get a lot of disability requests. Is it becoming like, my thing? Second, Long Feng has no idea who he's dealing with in your fic *snerk*.

~*~

Sokka had never liked the city. "Come on, Suki!"

"This city is no place for a polar bear-dog, Sokka." She rubbed her temples. "We don't even have a fenced in yard."

Stupid ornamental hedge. "We can build one, a polar bear-dog is perfect."

"No!"

"We gotta do something," he exclaimed. "He starts school in two months! And a polar bear-dog can you know, protect him, not just lead him everywhere-" He didn't like the look of some of those kids they were sending him to school with, not at all.

"He'll have Kanna and Kyoshi for that," Suki reminded him.

"And I'm not helpless," a voice piped up.

Suki and Sokka stopped talking and turned towards their son. "Where did you come from?" demanded Sokka.

"I'm not," Piandao insisted instead of answering. "Besides, I don't want a polar bear-dog. I want a wolf-bat." He opened his shirt to let a tiny, ugly nose peek out."

"Yahhh!" Sokka yelled, grabbing his boomerang.

Suki grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and pulled it out of her son's shirt and up into the air. "Where did you get that thing?"

"I knew I shouldn't have told you about her," Piandao groaned, snatching the cub back. "Kiko's dad killed her mom clearing out one of the old train tunnels. He said he was gonna drown her cub, so Kiko and I, um..."

Sokka grimaced. "You're not keeping that thing."

"But dad, it would be so cool. I'd be the only person in the whole world with a seeing-eye wolf-bat!"

Suki grinned wickedly at her husband. "I think it's a great idea."

"Please mom?"

"Go right ahead."

He dashed out of the room, and into the house's familiar corridors before she could change her mind.

Suki turned to Sokka. "Look on the bright side. At least Kyoshi won't try to eat this one like she did with the last stray Piandao brought home."

"Okay," he said slowly, getting up to follow their son out. He paused in the doorway. "But you are totally the one who gets to explain a seeing-eye wolf-bat to his teachers."

"Hey!" she yelped, darting out of the room after him. "No I'm not! No way!" But he just laughed at her from halfway down the hall.
