Right? [Sokka picks up his shovel and gestures with it, vaguely but emphatically.] Who doesn't want mostly free labor?

[Mostly being the key word. Sokka has a hypothesis, though, one that goes beyond the neighbors being stingy or weirdly possessive of their snow.]

I think it's me.

[This is not said out of a lack of confidence in himself and his shoveling abilities. Rather, Sokka considers this to be a realistic possibility. Simply put, he doesn't fit in here, not in the way that he's supposed to. He tries not to make it incredibly obvious that he's out of his element, and he is doing better, but he made a lot of blunders throughout his first week, up to and including upsetting a very gossipy neighbor. And for anyone really paying attention to him, he probably seems suspicious. Which is he! Which everyone should be! Everyone should be trying to figure out what's really going on! But instead of saying all that, Sokka motions at his head.]

It's the hair. [Which it is that too, definitely.]
