once again, older!aang rears when mun is caught up on eps.

[airbent]

I'm not saying the Tahno boy can't get his waterbending back, but Korra would need to energybend it back into him and that could go wrong in a whole host of ways unless she finds her focus in all aspects of her training, the metalbenders and Amon's other victims would need treatment as well. I feel bad for little Lin, too. I always thought she and Tenzin might ... hm, never mind. Pema's really nice and it's not the sort of situation you can find fault in, love is love. It goes wherever it wants.

I bet Katara could help that young probender find the part of himself that's missing, though. He looked so empty.

Huh I didn't expect to see an older version of you.

[It was certainly a pleasant surprise.]

[airbent]

Oh, well. I've, uh, been around a while? Just kind of quiet.

... Annnnd I have no idea who you are so I can't say anything similar, sorry. Hi.

[tinfoil_angel]

My name is Karl, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[He'd extend his hand for Aang to shake it.]

I guess you could call me one of the Avatars of my world. There are some strange similarities between our abilities.

[airbent]

[ Totes shaking that hand. C: ]

You are? Wow, that's amazing to hear. How so?

[fixedtheomens]

My mun hasn't quite caught up. She has a bad habit of going into fits when things don't go the way she wants, so it's probably for the best.

[airbent]

Are you sure you should be talking to me if your mun isn't up to date? I'm one giant walking-talking spoiler!

[fixedtheomens]

...she just over dramatically faked her death at me. Apparently, Honey Mun don't care.

[ He's making his own x3 face as well.]

Anyway, I think considering the three adorable grandkids you got, your boy did a good job picking his wife. There's somebody for everybody anyway.

[airbent]

I'm not saying he didn't! Tenzin is free to fall in love with whoever he wants, definitely. I suppose it doesn't matter much? Toph's been like family for almost longer than any of us can remember, anyway.

[iceandneat]

[ DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE MOMMED!! ]

I don't keep up with pro-bending, but what's happening there now?

[airbent]

[ ... SWEETIE. UR SO OLD. ]

There's a really bad guy calling himself Amon who won't stop taking away peoples' bending, Katara. He's destroying people from the inside-out.

[iceandneat]

[ SHUSH SWEETIE I GET BETTER WITH AGE!! ]

... So that's what's going on in Republic City. Tenzin didn't tell me specifics, but that's... terrible news.

[airbent]

[ You'll always be the finest lady around. ♥ ]

Honestly, it's more than Korra should have to deal with. It's more than any of my past lives have contended with, when you look at it a certain way.

[mr_spiritual]

[Oh...thanks for informing her, father. He's in trouble now isn't he?]

[korrallary]

...you really think he looked empty?

[airbent]

Yeah, as if part of his soul had been wiped out.

[savedtheworld]

Katara can help anyone find a missing part of themselves. [Pause] You know, you look kinda familiar.

[airbent]

Oooooooh, this is going to be weird. Hi, me! I'm you. Us!

... Er.

[savedtheworld]

It is pretty weird, me. I look older and know a lot more about the future than I do right now!

[airbent]

Your future is awesome, just gotta say. We have the best life!

[reversible]

[ Whoa, hold on a second there. What. ]

You mean... it's not permanent?

[airbent]

... Oh. Hey, Tahno.

[ Man, he's thinking as hard as he can now. Wants to help! ]

Well, the thing is, Amon's either chi-blocking your flow or using a form of bending that controls your energy. It's part of you, if it's the latter. I've taken away someones bending before and it was ... difficult, but not impossible. Amon doesn't seem to be experiencing what I did because he's an idiot imitating the Avatar so my guess is?

Yeah, I think you can get it back.

[notimpressed]

[She frowns. She likes Aang, she does, but you just know she does NOT like being called little. When she was younger she probably would have pouted at something like that]

I'm not little and I can handle my own problems, Aang.

[airbent]

[ Loooool. ]

Of course not, you're an intelligent woman in the prime of her life! But you'll always be little to me, Lin, you won't break me of that habit.

[notimpressed]

[Still frowning.]

As long as you don't start getting the current Avatar influenced to call me Little Lin.

[She'll tolerate it from you, she will not tolerate it from a 17 year old girl. She relaxes a bit now though, the frown disappearing]

You should perhaps be more concerned for your son. If Amon takes away his bending that's one less air bender out there and the only one out there who has Mastered it and can teach your current incarnation.

[markofthebrave]

[Hey, you're back! Older!Aang who she... woah, okay, that's a brief rush of memories from the last time she talked to him in this place, all right.]

More trouble from the future?
