Take it from someone who dodges a lot of fire. "Get out of the way" doesn't always work.
[There's nothing that Sokka values within himself more than his bravery and willingness to charge into battle. He travels with a bunch of overpowered children and always throws himself in front of them when they fight, even though he has no special abilities of his own. It would be really weird if Sans went charging ahead of him, instead of the opposite. So the joking admission doesn't bother Sokka, even though it would be nice if Sans had at least a little drive to fight, since backup is important.
As Sokka approaches the door, he motions for Sans to make good on his joke and get behind him.]
