Book 16: Drained [Voice/Action]
[Voice]
[It had been easy enough to assume that Sokka had still been kidnapped - that he'd be back any day. It was worrying, but there was still the assurance of his eventual return. Except that eventually, his room was checked. And found empty. There wasn't even a sign of Foo Foo Cuddlypoops. It was hard to believe - when Aang had first gotten to Luceti, he had gotten used to Sokka being the man with the answers. And also a beard. He was like a big figure of the town. And now he was gone. Katara wasn't in a state to announce it herself, so Aang eventually did it. Making it quick and to the point.]
Hi everyone. This is Aang. I'm sorry to tell you all this, but Sokka has gone back home. I know we're all gonna miss him. I already do. But at least at home... the last time I saw him there, he was happy.
[Action]
[Aang spends some time over by the statue of Sokka's head located House 56, studying the image of his best friend. He tries to meditate and tries to imagine the inspiring words that Sokka would usually say. Because he's still afraid of being around other people. And right now, the people dear to him may need him more than ever.]

A thoughtful pause.]
Except when he's dreaming about food eating people.

That would definitely be the worst time to lose them.

[Yeah, like that's a big surprise.]

[AKA 'I don't want to go into the details of my dreams, thanks.']

[Clearly those are the primary options. But hey, at least it's keeping his mind off of the sadness of losing Sokka.]

It's not that either.

No, everyone keeps their pants. I've had weird dreams before.
[A moment of thought, then:]
After we quit chasing you, I dreamt about that flying bison of yours for days. I blame it on having to pick all that fur out of my clothes though.
[...]
Usually my dreams are... sometimes about home. Nostalgic things, I guess.
[Being a kid again playing hide and seek on the Palace grounds, Azula zapping them out of their hiding places because she was a cheat like that. Sometimes darker, sadder things.]
voice;
That's Appa for you! He always has a way of leaving an impression.
[But he gets quieter, thinking on what she said. It touches something in the air nomad, and he gets increasingly nostalgic as he goes on.]
I guess that makes sense. Lately... a lot of my dreams have been about home. It's been so long since I've seen our world, that I dream about visiting all kinds of different places. All the most beautiful places I can remember. And in my dreams, I fly around between all of those different places... with flying lemur wings...
