"Huh?" he echoed up at Sokka, staring blankly. The nudging wasn't hard enough to be a problem, but if it continued, the Commander decided he'd have to hit back. Fortunately, Sokka stopped before too long, apparently distracted by his stomach. He reminded the Commander of the Pigmask troops, actually, between the sometimes inexplicable behavior and the desire to eat. "Yes, my King is the most important person in the world." It hadn't been exactly what Sokka had asked, but again the Commander wasn't sure what Sokka was trying to ask about and so he stuck with basic truths.

The side conversation itself wasn't important, anyway, especially since Hattori had offered tools. Unsure what good a screwdriver would be to loosen the pipes, he took the pliers without asking permission, and crouched down to start removing pipes. He didn't give a second thought to taking the most useful tool, though the fact that he also was the smallest person there might have been a reasonable excuse. The water on his arms made the hair there start to feel strange and ticklish, although he couldn't see it sticking up in the dark of the room.
