Book 10.5: Aang Meets the Fourth Wall

[savedtheworld]

[Aang was not a happy nomad.

Actually he was feeling relatively in good spirits. His depression was curbed for the time being after drinking some unique mix of special calming teas which may or may not have somehow been spiked with just a hint of cactus juice.

It was when he was trying to meditate outside the back of House 56 when his frustrations began. There was just so much... noise. Noise, noise, noise. Like there was a party near his house. Where did all these people come from?

Eventually, Aang had enough. He rushed around to the front of the house and perched himself on the Sokka head statue to address the crowd.]

Hey! What's with all the noise?!

[The fourteen-year old monk clears his throat.]

Sorry. I mean.. Can you keep it down a little?

To... to impress me? You don't have to try so hard, Jinora. I'm already super impressed just that... that you exist. That you're an airbender at all and with a family who can do it, too.

That's good enough for me. And I hope you do be more careful.

[ ... well Tenzin said that he was proud of her, too. but it's something else when the granddad she never thought she'd meet said it.

so she just stops resisting what she had wanted to do since she found out who he was just clings to him in a hug.

it did mean a lot. ]

[And he takes her into the hug tightly, warm tears forming in his eyes.]

I'm gonna take care of you, Jinora. However long we have together, here... It'll be good.

[wafting]

However long, huh...

[ it sounds a little scary if he puts it like that, but she just hugs back a little awkwardly. then relaxes a little into it. this is granddad after all 8( ]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah. We won't be able to always be here, together. [He confesses; Jinora's a big girl.] But that just makes this time more valuable. We gotta live in the present. And there's so much fun I wanna have with you!
