crais idk enjoy the random older!aang ...

[airbent]

Okay, so, you don't know what I'm doing here, I don't know what I'm doing here, pretty sure Katara needs me back at home to stop Kya dumping all the water out of her tub come bath-time this evening aaand I don't really have anything to do.

... Heh, you're smooth. Nice to meet you, mundane! I guess this is my time off ... sort of, kinda. Not that I need any, but - uh, yeah. This is fun!

Comments

I need an embarrased icon so bad. xD

[fireshark]

[ Well drat. ]

Tenzin... [ Mako swear the man has a title but he can't for the life of him remember it at the moment.

He clears his throat awkwardly. ]

I I think he's your son.

[ Yep. ]

omg icons = bane of my liiife

[airbent]

My what? But I have a daughter! A daughter.

[ BWUH sums up his entire being right now. ]

Are you saying I get a son? I get an airbending son?

but yours are all so shiiiny~

[fireshark]

[ And there's the Korra enthusiasm Which, in retrospect, she probably got from Aang ]

Yeah. He's pretty big with the city. I think he has airbending kids, too.

[ Shrug ]

He lives on Air Temple Island out in Yue Bay. I can look out at it from the Arena.

ty, i tried! ;;

[airbent]

[ OMG Mako, this is Aang having a Moment. ]

... Oh. That's - mmm.

they're awesomesause. like the soundbite music remix thing on your profile

[fireshark]

[ Mako is not the best with Moments. Or most things emotions for that matter. But Aang looks happy, and Mako gets that. ]

Yeah.

[ Family is big. He knows. ]

heh, cheers! i made some of your icons s'matter of fact X'3

[airbent]

So - your brother.

[ Moment over, he's too much of a dude for this! Or he likes to think he is, anyway. ]

What's his name?

Really? Which ones? I've been trying to hunt down proper credit

[fireshark]

[ That smile is back. ]

Bolin.

[ He chuckles, got all that big bro fondness. ]

He's really cheerful. Kinda like you, I guess. Drives me crazy sometimes, but he means the world to me.

oh, it doesn't matter, you credited fireferret so it's all coo' o/

[airbent]

Bolin. I'll keep an eye out for him, he sounds like fun if he's anything like you, Mako.

You sure? || And unrelated, but amg, I am in love with this aang.

[fireshark]

[ Fun? Going by Korra, he's, like, the antithesis of fun. ...What is Aang's reference for this sort of thing.

Have some surprise. ]

Thank you.

[ And then another smile, more of a smirk this time]

Bolin's the fun one. I'm more the 'stop waving at your fangirls and pay attention to the match' one.

yup! and jkhkghd ty i just felt like messing around |D

[airbent]

[ Aang maintains that anyone can be fun when given a true chance. Mako is kind of defensive and shy, but that's okay! He'll roll with it. ]

Fangirls, huh? I bet that's a distraction and a half when you're playing a match, I'd get annoyed too - but, uh, you didn't hear me say that.

/why is everyone but me this awesome when they just "mess around" asdjkldsaljkasdf

[fireshark]

[ Mako likes that someone understands. He's just... scared a lot, on the inside. ]

Even the avatar gets tired after a while, huh?

[How do you do this. You are making the serious guy all smiles.

He pauses, thoughtful.]

I guess a lot of people must have been really happy to see you when you... returned.

oh pshaw, your mako is adorable <3

[airbent]

All the time, I'm a human being just like you.

[ As for the rest - ]

Just getting to meet all sorts of people is its own reward, like me and you here. This is nice. And even if we don't speak much in the future, I know you'll do really well at probending with your brother because you both care about each other so much. That kind of attitude will take you a long way.

jadfdjgh, aww *////* ty <3

[fireshark]

[ It's interesting to think of the avatar that way. He just seems so... legendary. And so confident in him and his brother and Korra... ]

Thanks.

[ That's when the rest of what Aang says hits him. Korra's here and maybe only two years younger than he is. It's... sobering. Because there's that twist in his gut that's reminding him that if Korra is here Aang... can't be.

He's a bit quieter after that. ]

How would I- I hope I'll be able to speak with you again. As you.

[ Wow, Mako, way to be depressing. ]

[airbent]

[ Nudges him! Poor buddy. ]

Hey, if I see you around, I'll make it a mission to check in on you. How's that?

[fireshark]

[ Best case scenario–unless Avatars can do special things he doesn't know about like that Roku at the fire temple thing *cough*–he'll be two. But Mako finds he's kind of okay with that.

Aang will always be there. And he has Korra and Bolin, too. ]

I'll keep you to that, Avatar Aang.

Just make sure you've taken care of the important things, first.

[ Yeah, he's kind of teasing and calling Aang a bit of a slacker. Not that he would know, but he seems a lot like Bolin in that respect. ]

1/2

[airbent]

[ Pft, have a pout! ]

I do tons of important stuff, uh, all the time! Ask Appa!

[airbent]

And you can just call me 'Aang', you know.

[fireshark]

[ Pout, meet lineface. ]

Ask your animal spirit companion. Right.

[ He was trying to be all formal and serious, y'know. Not that he did it well or anything. ]

If you say so. Aang.

[airbent]

Hey, Appa's my best friend and very much alive. He's a sky-bison.

[ FEH to formalities. ]

[fireshark]

[ ...Is this guy for real? Sometimes he seem all old and wise and avatar-y and sometimes... ]

I am sure Appa is amazing. But he is a sky-bison. I'm not exactly fluent in sky-bison.

[airbent]

[ CONSTANT AWESOME, yes, that is the super serious and wise Avatar Derp. ]

You could totally have a conversation with him, everyone does! He understands people just fine.

[fireshark]

[ He is not going to argue with the Avatar over talking to a sky bison]

Alright, I'll ask your sky-bison. If I ever meet him it.

[airbent]

Great. Don't take it personally if he licks, that's how you know he likes you.

[fireshark]

Licks?

[ Oh please no. He may make a bit of a face. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ At least it's not a polar bear dog. ]

Any other animals I should know about?

[airbent]

Momo! You'd like him, he's just as smart as Appa.
