Sokka fumbled to catch the sharp thing thrown at him, managing to snag the metal end of it before it fell and went through his foot. The fumbling helped to keep him from asking more questions as well since he didn't know a Kansas or what that last word Heiji had used either. It sounded like a question, but Sokka wasn't sure he knew what he was supposed to say. Instead, he looked at the little tool he'd been given, gripped it and nodded. "Yes sir! Oh, and so you'll know? I'm from the South Pole. Southern Water Tribe," he just had to say it so they wouldn't get confused again. "

And again he was back to not knowing what to really do, but he had down that Heiji wanted him to get one of the pipe things away from beneath the sink. He could do that, right? The tool was supposed to help too, it seemed, so after crouching down again and looking between the pipe and the sink, he eventually began beating as hard as he could at the pipe with the wrong end, trying to make it come off.
