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?

I-I can't resist

[Man is it cold, this is like being in the South pole all over again. But the place was familiar at least. The throng of people are getting her lost, though. So when she hears Aang's yell, she turns and makes a bee-line for his position.

Oh good, familiar house!]

Grandpa Aang!

Good, all Jinoras are welcome!

[savedtheworld]

[Well that's a familiar voice in the crowd of people. He missed his oldest granddaughter - so he hops down from the Sokka head to scoop her up in a hug.]

Jinora!

<3

[airbound]

[She grins and giggles when she's scooped up and hugged. She happily hugs him back.]

I missed you! Everybody still here?!

[savedtheworld]

I missed you, too! [And then he makes a sly grin.] Hey, how'd you know to miss me without remembering here?

[airbound]

[Her smile drops as she turns serious.]

When I got here, I remembered being here before. But then, I keep getting lost because of all the people, and started missing you and others.

[savedtheworld]

Oh. I'm sorry that happened, Jinora. [It's a scary thing to imagine; any of the grandchildren lost in Luceti without any idea of their relatives being around. But he smiles at her.] Then I'm glad we found each other again!

[airbound]

Yeah.. [She brightens again though.] Me too! I don't remember this place ever being this crowded though!

....so, is everyone still here? Katara, uncle Sokka, Roku. [She brightens some more, glancing toward the house.] Ikki?

[savedtheworld]

I know! It's noisier than ever! [So many people without wings... come to think of it, even including you, Jinora.]

They're still here... plus Toph and Bolin and now Suki too. Your grangran's just... not here, for now. [A slight frown, but he picks it back up, to focus on enjoying Jinora's presence.] Ikki's going to be happy to see you again.
