Book 19: Summer Breeze

[Video]

[There had been a whole mix of things the last few weeks. The return of Korra, the coming of Kai, and the news of more airbenders in Aang's future. It was a lot to reflect on and take in, on top of Zuko and Kai's fighting.

But now, he thinks it's time to try to just breathe and relax. Summer's almost over, and the pool in the backyard of House 56 has been criminally underused this year. So, a fairly chipper-looking monk shows his face on the journals.]

Hey everyone! It's me, Aang. I just thought... since it's summer and all, and it won't be too long until fall... We could all have some fun! We have a pool in our backyard, and anyone's welcome to come and play in it today! It'll be lots of fun, really!

...Oh, and if you don't know where we live, it's House number 56! Follow the road down from the plaza, and when you see a house with two floors that's a got a statue of a guy's head in front of it, you know you've found it!

[Action]

[And so Aang can be found at the pool. There's an earthbending slide that can be ridden from the second floor to the pool, as well as a trampoline set up nearby. Aang will ride the slide and often jump into the pool while using a number of tricks using his airbending and waterbending. The teenage monk can also fooling around in an octopus form.

And of course since he's wearing shorts, his tattoos and scar will be very visible.]

Volunteering to make it even more fun.

And I don't even need to pay you back?

Deal.

[spiritwalking]

Nope! [With the house to her back, she motions for him to get ready - however he wants to go down the slide.]

[generalflirt]

[ Okay, okay. He pats his chest and makes to sit down on the slide - he's going to make and slide down on his butt. Fine, fine. Thumbs up! Let's rock ]

[spiritwalking]

[With some strange moves, a gust of wind comes from Jinora's direction that's aimed straight for him. It's a strong one - strong enough to get him really going but not too strong that it hurts, now or when he hits the water.]

[generalflirt]

[ It does put a little pressure on his pink wings but-

Yeah no he's just shot out now down the water and shooting him down at high speed. He laughs here, enjoying it and folding his arms about himself to go down on his back (mostly) before getting to the end, skimming the top of the water for a bit, and then sinking down. Ooooh ]

[spiritwalking]

[Exactly why she tried to be careful.

She watches his descent down the slide, smiling the entire time. It isn't until he's under the water that she laughs. Then steps up to the center of the slide herself. Rather than sitting down, Jinora stays standing. An air boost for herself and down she comes.

Probably around the time he's coming out of the water is about the time she's sailing over his head. She lands near him with a huge splash.]

[generalflirt]

[ Oh now that was some skill. By now, he's treading water, laughing himself. He knows he must've looked silly there, and he wasn't exactly trying to look cool either. At her leap, and her splash, he claps for her, keeping it up so that she'll still be able to hear it once she surfaces. that was impressive.

[spiritwalking]

[When she does come up, it's with a grin. She gives him a little bow.]

Wasn't that more fun?

[generalflirt]

Much more. I should have known to trust an airbender for fun things.
