being silly

[noindoorvoice]

Mun!

This place looks big and exciting! Not city exciting exciting or Korra exciting but super amazing exciting! Is there a water slide? Or an adventure? Or snow? Or volcanoes? Or-

[Babbles on for sometime.]

[oh dear Lord help her no.]

I...don't think there are any of those things here, Ikki. I haven't seen them, anyway.

[noindoorvoice]

[Nothing can save her now.] Jinora!

Are you sure are you sure are you sure? With all the people there must be something big going on!

[bookbender]

[no, her eye totally has not developed a twitch]

I'm...pretty sure. But Korra and her friends are here. And I think I just met Great-Aunt Suki and Gran-Gran from when they were younger.

[please don't ask her how that works please please please don't ask her how that works.]

[deformed]

No.

[ There is no fun here, Aang!grandbaby. Only Zuko keeping an eye on you. ); ]

1/2

[noindoorvoice]

...Huh?

2/2

[noindoorvoice]

[Wait for it.]

That's amazing! How do you know? How? Is Gran-Gran young young or just less old old? Do they talk differently? Have you met Grandpa? Wow!

[noindoorvoice]

[STRANGER DANGER. No wait it's just Zuko.]

Really? Really really? Because there're lots of people and stuff.

[deformed]

Yeah, don't talk to them. They're probably weirdos.

Re: 2/2

[bookbender]

Ikki, slow down! [as if that's going to happen ever.]

They're both young; I think they're how old they were when they and Grandpa beat Fire Lord Ozai.

[noindoorvoice]

I'm talking to you.

[deformed]

I'm not one of them. I'm your grandfather's friend.

[noindoorvoice]

But that was like a hundred years ago! Like your book story old! Wow! Are you going to ask them about stuff? Is it harder now that they're all peoply?

[noindoorvoice]

Oh! Grandpa Aang really? I never got to meet him except in Korra only she can't bend air and she's not bald and-

Hi!

[deformed]

Hi.

[ Whoa, he doesn't speak Mile A Minute. ]

Korra can't bend air?

[noindoorvoice]

[Very few do.] I'm Ikki. How old are you? Are you super old or just young old? Can you bend stuff?

No, she's trying though. She can't be a leaf or dance.

[deformed]

I'm - uh. [ Just gonna pick one thing at a time, here. ] I'm Zuko and I'm eighteen, the Fire Lord from your time who helped build Republic City? You seem a little too young to ... know that.

Why would Korra need to be a leaf?

[ LOL u crazy airbenders and your training. ]

[noindoorvoice]

Oh! [She does know that. Sortof. She just needed a second for her mind to catch up.] I forgot cause you don't get a statue and you haven't got any wrinkles.

She needs to be a leaf so she can dance so she can Airbend.

[deformed]

Why don't I get a statue?

[ ftr airbenders are so weird, he will never quite grasp them and their leafy ways. Little miss, you are like Aang on a sugarhigh. ]

[noindoorvoice]

Dad said you're the one who gave Grandpa his. It's your own fault if you haven't got one. You should put in a waterslide! Or a mustache that turns into an air ballon!

[deformed]

... Oh.

[ Crouching down, he leans on a bent knee to see her a little better. ]

I guess that means I gave your grandfather a statue because he really deserved it, then. [ Mustaches, eh? That throws him for a second. ] I can't turn anything into an air balloon, but -

[ Breathing out through his nose, a fiery little mustache appears, flickering at the turned-up edges when he twiddles them. ]

How's this?

[exuberance]

You said something about Korra exciting, Ikki?

[How could she not show up when Ikki mentions her by name?]

[noindoorvoice]

[At first she just looks a little confused, but then the giggles. So many giggles.] Great, Great Uncle!

[noindoorvoice]

Yeah! When you're around everything is more exciting. So it's Korra exciting. But this is exciting exciting!

[deformed]

I don't know if facial hair suits me, what do you think?

[ Stroking his chin thoughtfully, a long beard of fire appears to be attached to it. ]

Hmm ...

[noindoorvoice]

[Even more giggling.] Yes it does! Even Dad doesn't have a beard like that! How come Firebenders don't do that all the time?
