[Tenzin disapproves. Just in general.]

The age difference between us is none of your business, Mundane.

[deconflagration]

So yours noticed, too, huh?

[abadteacher]

Yes, for some reason it seems to be a topic of conversation now.

[deconflagration]

Why does it even matter? I mean, it's not that big of a gap. It's not that uncommon for there to be a gap, either.

[abadteacher]

Apparently it's amusing. Mundanes in general are easily distracted.

[deconflagration]

Must be burdensome to have a mun with that kind of sense of humor.

[abadteacher]

They all have their [It takes him a moment to find a polite way to put it] oddities. I suspect your has things they focus on against your will as well.

[deconflagration]

Yeeeah. I could do with a little less attention; it's not exactly flattering. At least you won't have to worry about it becoming too much of a problem for a few weeks, right?

[terrair]

YEAH! You're old daddy! You're the oldest!

[abadteacher]

[:|| No respect.] Have you been wandering by yourself?

[terrair]

NO! I have this guide person. But she won't let me ooouuuuutttttt!

[abadteacher]

She's sensible. [But he scoops Meelo up all the same.] It's dangerous out there.

[terrair]

[Pulling on your beard now~]

I can take it. Let me at 'em!

[abadteacher]

[Siigh. He's getting used to it.] No, Meelo.

Have you been practicing?

[terrair]

I practice the most!

WATCH! WATCH! [He wiggles, trying to get his had to let him go.]

[abadteacher]

[Tenzin floats him down carefully.] Good. I'm watching.

[terrair]

TORNADO! [He spins around creating a tiny little tornado around him. Too bad he gets too dizzy and falls to the ground after about a second.]

[abadteacher]

[... Well he tried.] Careful! You'll reshape your head that way.

[terrair]

Everytings spinning.... WHHHOOOOAAAAA!

[abadteacher]

[Tenzin kneels next to him and taps him lightly.] That's what happens. Are you going to do that again?

[terrair]

[He flops back.]

Nooooooooooo.

HEY! Are we gonna get to see Korra in a tourneement?

[abadteacher]

Hm. Maybe when you're older.

[moonpowers]

I find it... very sweet and romantic, if you do not mind me saying so.

[abadteacher]

.. Thank you. She is a wonderful wife.

[moonpowers]

And you, I am certain she feels is a wonderful husband.

[abadteacher]

We do our best. That's all you can ask of anyone more often than not.

[grumpiness]

[It's Tenzin! He's probably seen you in the paper.]

Isn't that normal?

[abadteacher]

[Oh, you. One of those boys Korra is learning with now.]

The difference or the prying?

[grumpiness]

[... He presses a fist to his mouth and clears his throat. He should've clarified, but he's not going to mention that.]

The age difference. I'm guessing there's a gap between you and your wife.

[abadteacher]

Yes, not much in the grand scheme of things but enough to amuse my Mundane.

[grumpiness]

Shouldn't matter as long as you two are happy. Not that I'd know much about marriage and how it should be.

[abadteacher]

It would be strange if you did. You're very young.

[grumpiness]

Very young? [He hopes he doesn't mean that he looks younger than 17.]

[abadteacher]

A teenager.

[grumpiness]

... I'm actually an adult. [CLEARS THROAT.]

[abadteacher]

[He's dubious.] My mistake.

[grumpiness]

[HE SHRUGS.] Haven't been for very long, if that counts for anything.

I got other things to worry about besides marriage, anyway.

[airless]

I don't see what the big deal is. So I'm younger than you, why should that matter to anyone?

[abadteacher]

My Mun finds it amusing. I suspect they don't get out much.

[airless]

No, I wouldn't think so. But this could be a learning experience for them. Lesson one: love doesn't set boundaries between age, nation, or anything trivial like that.

[incurableprankster]

OH GOLLY! How old ARE you?

[abadteacher]

[What. What is this.] Old enough.

[incurableprankster]

You can say that again! TEEHEE! I'm Just teasing you! It's what I do.

[bookbender]

Age difference between who? You and Mom?

[abadteacher]

Yes, don't worry too much about it. Muns are easily entertained and distracted.

[bookbender]

Yeah, no kidding.

[blindrockstar]

Hey, Katara and Aang are technically ninety-something years apart! Sixteen years is nothing.
