You... you don't have to, Ikki. You do so much just by being here and being you. I love you too, Ikki. You're so many good things here just by yourself.

I do! 'Cause you're my good things, too. All of you are some of my best things here.

[He smiles fondly, a warmth building up in his heart again.]

It does make being here a lot more bearable to have all the best things here in this house. [Pause] I'm gonna give you something, Ikki.

[ Ikki brights up and looks curious. ] A present?

Yeah. I want you to have these. [He reaches into a fold of his robes and pulls out his prayer beads - a set of beads that have four wooden medallions linked to it, each bearing the symbol of a different nation.]

These are my prayer beads. They can help keep you safe. And whenever something worries you, you can say a prayer into the beads, and the Avatar spirit will do what it can to take care of it. It'll help things to be more okay.

[ Ikki reaches out for the beads, hesitating. Is this really okay? She knows how to use prayer beads, though, has grown up around a temple and knows the feel of them in her hands. ]

Is it okay to take them? [ she sounds more awed than worried, and bites her lip, then jumps up. ] Wait here a second, 'kay, Grandpa?

[ Ikki runs off without much more warning, and then comes back with a box. Aang can probably see the treasures inside as Ikki sorts through them, eventually coming up with a childishly crafted bracelet of the little white shells she and Vivi collected on the beach yesterday. She holds this out to Aang, expectantly, and speaks very firmly. ] So you have something to keep you safe, too.

[He receives bracelet as if it were a sacred treasure.]

Thank you so much, Ikki. It's beautiful. I'll wear this all the time. [Pause as he places the bracelet around his right wrist. Aang goes on acting thoughtful.] But y'now, maybe you're right. Those are special Avatar beads. I can't give them to just anyone. I'm afraid there's only one way to solve it. [Another pause, and he grins.] I have to officially give you the title of "Avatar princess".

[ Ikki grins when Aang puts on the bracelet, although it turns thoughtful as he goes on speaking. They are special Avatar beads (as far as she knows, at least) and they look important. She definitely didn't expect the next part, and looks stunned and then gleeful, clapping her hands together in sheer happiness. ] Really?

Yep! You're related to the Avatar, after all, so I'm sure it'll be allowed.

[ That logic is pretty darn logical when you're seven. ] I'll be the best Avatar princess, I promise!

[ ...she's not sure if she has to do anything really, but she does accept the prayer beads, and runs her fingers over them, passing them through her smaller hands one by one, hearing the monks and nuns' prayers in her head. ]

You're doing a wonderful job already, Princess Ikki.

[ She grins, and then throws her arms around Aang, basically tackling him. ] Thank you, Gr - Avatar Aang! [ she changes the wording to sound mock-formal back in response to "Princess Ikki". ]

[He tumbles slightly but hugs her back.]

You're welcome. But you can keep calling me Grandpa.

[ Ikki giggles ] Thank you, Grandpa!
