[Backdated to November 2nd, if that's okay. It's also voice.]

[capsulepresident]

[After his last conversation with Aang, he decides to give him a call over the journal.]

Hey Aang? It's Trunks. I'm ready for our lessons if you still want to do them.

[Backdated to November 2nd, if that's okay. It's also voice.]

[savedtheworld]

[It takes him a bit to get back to it. He's been avoiding others for the most part because it just makes him so anxious. He's afraid of being around them - of losing who he is. But he does check and nervously wonders whether or not he's still up for it.]

Oh - right. Those. Are you sure, Trunks?

[capsulepresident]

[He can hear in Aang's voice right away that something was off.]

Is something wrong? You sound kind of down.

[savedtheworld]

D-down? No! What makes you think that? I'm just... I don't know.

[capsulepresident]

It's your tone of voice. If something's bothering you, I can always be a listening ear.

[savedtheworld]

...Thank you, Trunks.

[He says uncertainly. But at least talking over the journal doesn't give him much anxiety.]

Do you ever feel like... just staying away from people?

[capsulepresident]

[It takes him some time to answer that, but he eventually does.]

At times, yes. But it's been that way for me since I was in middle school.

[savedtheworld]

Really? What was that like?

...If it's okay to talk about.

[capsulepresident]

I...don't mind. But aren't I supposed to be the one listening to you?

[savedtheworld]

We could both listen to each other! In... either order! Maybe?

[capsulepresident]

Well I don't mind either way. By the way, you're welcome. And thanks for wanting to listen to me.

[He might be laughing lightly before continuing.]

If you can believe it, I was a very different kind of person when I was a kid. I don't know if you've ever met my dad, but I was very much like him.

[savedtheworld]

I don't know if I met your dad either. Who is he? [Somehow they didn't cover that subject already.]

[capsulepresident]

His name is Vegeta. He's actually here in Luceti.

[savedtheworld]

Vegeta? I... I know him! He's really tough. So you're party of his family, too?

[capsulepresident]

Yeah, I'm his son. Sorry for my dad's behavior too if he did anything to you in a bad way. He's...not exactly very nice.

[savedtheworld]

Don't worry about it! He just acts grumpy, but he's really a lot nicer than that. I know it. So... You used to be more like him, then?

[capsulepresident]

Yeah. But I grew out of that phase when I went to school for the first time, since before then mom usually had me tutored at home so dad could keep training me.

[Then he sighs.]

That's when things changed. Most of the time, I kept to myself while my best friend Goten who also went to school with me was more open to being friends with people. I don't know why, I guess I thought everyone else was beneath me because I was a prodigy and no one would ever be able to outdo me in grades. It continued that way for a long time.

[savedtheworld]

I see. Being a prodigy... I think I can see how that could set you away from others. That can make it hard for others to understand you. [Or think it's not fair to play air scooter tag with you.]

[capsulepresident]

Yeah. But I really should learn to let it go, I don't know why I can't.

[savedtheworld]

Because you feel like... You don't really belong around others. They're not your people, and they won't really understand you.

[capsulepresident]

That's...exactly it, Aang. It sounds like you know from experience.

[savedtheworld]

It's... something I feel like sometimes.

[He pauses, hesitates before going on.]

Like... right now.

[capsulepresident]

Is it because you're the Avatar? From the way Mai told me about it, you sound like you're really important to people.

[He pauses himself then goes on.]

I admit I'm a little jealous because even though people say I'm important, they could easily replace me as the president of my company.

[savedtheworld]

It has to do with that. Being an Avatar... It puts me on another level than different people. But... there's more beyond that. There's no one else around who knows what it's like to be an air nomad.

Well... One day I'll be replaced as the Avatar.

[capsulepresident]

There's no other air nomads in your world? What happened to them?

[He ponders on that and asks more questions.]

So you'll teach someone else how to bend all the elements like you and they'll take over for you?
