There's a lot going through Sokka's head when Bucky confirms that The Doctor is responsible for his injuries. The loudest part of his brain is telling him that they need to take action — Sokka wants to barricade them inside this room, or maybe take Bucky down to the basement, because that's where Bucky said they're supposed to go when facing threats. They need time to discuss and plan in safety, and if there's even a remote chance that The Doctor will return, they need to be ready. He's also thinking about trying to get a hold of a sword, which has been on his mind a lot given the violence he's faced here, and that in turn makes him think of something that Bucky mentioned to him when they first met — something he should ask about before anything else, even before he presses Bucky for more details.
But Sokka is also thinking about what Katara would say, as Bucky kicks off the blanket and shows the marks on his legs. She'd probably yell at Sokka to get something for the cuts and bruises — bandages or salve or anything that will keep his injuries from getting infected. Well, technically that's what Katara would have said before she learned to heal with water, but since Sokka isn't a waterbender, it's what applies to him.
There are more thoughts, too — half-formed escape plans, like going to the car and figuring out how to drive it away, and a small sense of vindication, when Bucky slides his weird messaging device under his bed because Sokka knew it. He did! All along he's been thinking that it was so weird to send messages without hawks or scrolls, and he was so suspicious — too suspicious to say anything important on the network. And here Bucky is, proving him right! He almost wishes the others were here just so he could say, I told you!
But the others aren't here. It's just him and Bucky, and Bucky still needs his help.
Thankfully, Sokka left his device at home; otherwise he'd be chucking his under the bed just like Bucky's. Or maybe he'd smash it with the end of his boomerang. Or, well, no, not yet at least; it might still be useful. If nothing else, Sokka needs to hold off on destroying it until he understands what, exactly, makes it worth shoving under the bed. Before that, however, there's something important he needs to know first: "Did you buy a gun?"
Sokka doesn't know how to use a gun, but he looked them up in the library after Bucky mentioned them, so he understands the basics — how they are more powerful than a sword or boomerang. Sokka once used a bomb to protect an Air Temple and the people within it; explosive power doesn't scare him, and he'll use it if it's necessary, but he needs to understand how it works before he does anything with it. Still, if Bucky has it somewhere, Sokka can at least grab it and keep it close by.
