[Despite the fact that Sokka has spent time in the spirit world, has kissed someone who became the moon spirit, and is friends with the Avatar, he likes to stay rooted in logic, science, and practical thinking. This situation offers none of those things. Either there's some strange time travel nonsense going on or they're from different worlds entirely — and none of those explanations make logical sense. He wants to reject them outright but the proof that something weird is happening is right in front of him. Literally.
He's never heard of Kansas before, but he's glad that Sans offers up a little bit of information of his own. This is important, because the quicker that Sokka can get up to speed, the easier it will be for him to figure out how to get back home. He'll be able to lay low and plan an escape if he doesn't have to dedicate time and energy to figuring out all the little things that are different from his world.]
I can't believe I'm going to say this [and even though he already misses his sister, he's kind of glad she isn't here to hear it] but I'd rather be stuck dealing with weird spiritual nonsense.
[Instead of whatever this is. At least Aang would find him if he were stuck in the spirit world.]
I'm going to ask you a lot of questions. [Sans has been forewarned. Now that he is designated as reasonably safe and also a source of information, Sokka is going to keep him close by for a bit while he studies the way everything works around here.] But before I get to those, can you do anything with fire? Or water? Like [he takes a step back and gives a poor rendition of what Katara looks like when she bends — a dramatic waving of his arms] this?
