Book 17: Eroded [Video/Action]

[Video]

[Aang appears on the video feed partway through his day, looking a little chipper while sitting at the bakery.]

Hey everyone! It's me, Aang. I just thought I'd talk about a few things. If anyone is looking for a way to spend their time here in Luceti, there's some job openings that could be for you! I'm here at the bakery right now, and there aren't many people here who help out. So if you want to try out, you're welcome to! Speaking of that word, the Welcome Center could also use more people to help manage it. [And maybe someone to actually run it.]

Just let me know if you're interested! In the meantime, I'm trying to make bonds with more of the filial spirits. [He already has Kipinn, who came naturally to him. And Nala, he sought after his second draft, so that he wouldn't be completely powerless when it comes to healing. Even if most of the other spirits overlap with his bending abilities, he still thinks that as the Avatar he should be trying to make pacts with them.] I think next, I'm gonna go for Sona. Anyone wanna come lend a hand?

I think that's it- oh! One other thing. Does anyone remember when Avatar Yangchen's festival is supposed to be? I can't believe I forgot about it for so long! It's the best air nomad holiday, and I only remembered it after I had a dream about it the other day! I should figure out when to celebrate it. The Malnosso don't seem to know about it, so it should be fun! Then people can get to see what one of our holidays are like.

[Action]

[And so, Aang buzzes between locations like a busy scorpion bee. Either working at the bakery - where he plays some of Rapunzel's old big band records, with a swing in his step. He also make stops at the Welcome Center and the library, sometimes accompanied by Momo.

Later in the day, he sets off on Appa's back, checking around the two lakes to try out connecting with Sona.]

Um, if you don't mind teaching me how to make things, I could help out at the bakery a bit!

[Granted, she'll be a bit busier once school begins, but as often as Rue visits the bakery, it couldn't hurt lending a hand.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

I'm not the best teacher when it comes to this stuff. [He had been learning from Rapunzel before she left... but he has still been doing his best to improve ever since.] But I'll do my best for you, Rue! You're welcome to help out if you'd like.

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

I could help clean and keep the trays full too! How about I come after school and work an hour or two? Would that help?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

That, too? Just don't overwork yourself! [He says a little teasingly with a laugh.] That sounds like a great time! I come after school, so we can head over together.

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

That sounds good! I can begin helping out next Monday.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Next Monday sounds like a great day to start! I'll think of the best ways to teach you by then.

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

Okay!

Is it fun working at the bakery?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Of course it is! Some things are tough, but when you get used to them? It gets lots of fun!

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

At least you get to listen to music while you work! I really like the music in there. It's so upbeat and fun. I bet that makes things go by faster.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

It really does! You'd have to thank Rapunzel for that, if- if she was still here. If you like the music, than you're definitely gonna fit in just fine!

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

[It's a pity Rapunzel wasn't still around; Rue would have liked to meet her.]

Do you know what kind of music it is?
