Mixed thoughts about returning to Luceti

[flameoroku]

Do I at least get to write a letter to Sozin?

I'm going to miss his birthday again, so it's the least I could do. I know time won't have really passed, but it just doesn't feel right. It's been our only way of keeping in touch since I left the Fire Nation...I'd like to leave him something before going.

You're going to make me go another one solo, aren't you? [He shakes his head.] It's alright, Roku. I'll be around.

[flameoroku]

It's not my fault it's--....Sozin! [Roku. is beaming. He hasn't seen Sozin in person for a few years now.]

When did you get here? I--man, it's been too long.

[flameosozin]

Almost three years, I think. [But. He's not going to dwell on that. He laughs and then gives a slight tug on Roku's hair.] So aren't you supposed to be bald by now?

[flameoroku]

[and here he was wondering if he could go see Sozin before starting his waterbending training]

Ow, hey. [With one wave of his hand, Sozin gets a little gust of wind in his face.]

Maybe. But the monks realized I looked better with hair.

[flameosozin]

[Airbending... that's new. Sozin frowns a little bit at that, before shrugging it off.]

Or maybe they let you keep it because they think you look like a girl.

[flameoroku]

[asjkhgsa, making a face] I don't look like a girl. Do I? [He thought they were laughing at his freakish height. He just smiles anyway, places his arms around Sozin]

It's really good to see you again. I guess we should do our Happy Birthdays now and not later.

[flameosozin]

Well, I didn't want to say anything. [He snickers. Because Roku would be a very tall and very manly girl. (But then, he is a reincarnation of Kyoshi...)]

I guess so. If I knew we would be here, I would've got you a present.

[flameoroku]

...You're just pulling my leg. [Nope, Sozin's just joking. That's it.]

I think I know how to fix that. [Check it, he's got his glider with him.] Ever been on one of these?

[flameosozin]

[... Sozin is dubious. He stares at the glider, then at Roku.]

It's a stick.

[flameoroku]

[Sozin. Oh Sozin. With a tap of the "stick" the wings burst out from it]

It's an air glider. And I happen to be pretty good with one now and can probably fly you anywhere.

[flameosozin]

[Oh well look at that. It sure looks flimsy. The 'probably' isn't reassuring.]

Are you sure it's meant to carry more than one person?

[flameoroku]

I've seen the monks take someone with them a few times, I did it once. [Yea, that kinda ended in disaster though.]

[flameosozin]

[You know, it's only because it's Roku that Sozin even considers this...]

If you get us killed doing this, I won't be your friend anymore.
