Sokka emerges from his rut with the perfect mate, Zuko with his shiny new dynamic and significantly less "alpha pride", and the two of them with a sht ton of explaining to do. 14/14

Begins A!/A! - Suggestive - B*tching
A!Sokka is pack alpha of the gaang. In an effort to endear himself to the group, A!Zuko, after joining the team, defers to him almost entirely despite likely being able to overpower the fellow alpha easily. 1/14
Zuko becomes nervous, misreading Sokka's considering silence as disgust and rushing to backtrack- But Sokka speaks again before he can, "Are you sure?" Zuko is very sure. He means to say so, not too eagerly since the alpha has SOME pride left. "Y-yeah." his voice cracks. 13/14
I think the rivalry between the NWT and SWT show up here too, the SWT scoffing at a mere stone while the NWT find the hunting to be unromantic and violent. All this to say, I'm all for betrothal necklaces, but Zuko is getting a little extra if Sokka proposes 14/14

TW!! - Animal d//th - Preperation of an animal for fur/food
So we're all aware of the iconic betrothal necklace as a form of courtship/engagement in the water tribes. HOWEVER, we know it's a specifically Northern Water Tribe tradition 1/14
Some additional flavor text - Bringing back a small animal is worse than none at all, not everyone can bag a caribou yak but an artic hen will get you laughed out of the tribe. Go big(ish) or go home.
- Most can't help but make jewelry from the leftover bone to give as well 13/14
