I'd really appreciate it. [He smiles a little.] It's pretty likely that everyone's going to be dispatched in groups. The fact that Sokka can be out on the battlefield while he gives direction will be pretty helpful. He might not make a bad general, of sorts.

I've seen what you can do. Actually... [He pauses briefly, remembering something.] The terrain is a little messy, but we might be able to make good use of that river there. Considering your power, though, we might be able to do a little more than just "make good use of it."
