on aang and ikki reserves at dragonhaven

[restorehonour]

So much for "the last Airbender". If this keeps up, we're gonna get overrun with them.

--Hey, I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. It'll make things more... interesting? But dealing with Aang's grandkids would be weird. How's Aang even supposed to babysit her when he's just a kid himself?

... I know what you're thinking, mun. Don't even say it.

Hey, don't sweat it, man. They'll have honorary uncle Zuko there to help out!

[restorehonour]

I'm not sure I'm uncle material just yet, Sokka.

[Uncles are old and wise and awesome! Zuko is not sure he is any of those things.]

[angle_on_it]

Are you kidding? Just give them that silver sandwich speech and you'll be golden.

[honooooorrrrr]

[.... This just sounds awful and Zuko feels bad for.. himself.]

Good luck with that... Glad I'm not in your shoes...

[restorehonour]

Technically, if you're me, you are in my shoes. Sort of. [idek this is confusing.]

You think Aang's grandchildren will be anything like him?

[honooooorrrrr]

[Don't get smart with me, me.] I guess... We're still in two different bodies so... [Yeah, whatever.]

I don't know. Haven't met them myself. If I had my guess though. ..Yeah. As I said, good luck.

[gainedacoupon]

So, you're becoming a babysitter now, huh?

[restorehonour]

[o-oh hi jin this is kind of awkward]

It's not like I want to!

[gainedacoupon]

[ Hey Lee What's up? ]

C'mon. I bet you'd be great with the cloudbabies. [ Reaches up and ruffles his hair. ]

[bendwaves]

Aang isn't a kid, Zuko. Technically...he is a young adult.

[restorehonour]

I thought he was barely even a teenager. Twelve or thirteen at most, right?

[Any advice, Gran Gran? Pleeease?]

[bendwaves]

Well...Ikki is a lot like Aang. Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll be quick to calm.

[Ha ha! FAT CHANCE!]

[hotheadedsavior]

The Airbender kids aren't that bad.

[under breath] They just have a tendency to talk too much.

[restorehonour]

Any ideas that will make them... not talk a lot?

[PLEASE KORRA-WAN KENOBI. YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.]

[hotheadedsavior]

Well, you're a firebender... I'm not sure there's a way to shut them up with firebending that doesn't involve, ya know, maiming or killing them. I mean, I can punt their asses into space launch them into the air with earthbending and it's no big thing because they're airbenders.

Try threatening them?

[shipperondeck]

Oh oh! Can we call you Uncle Zuko? No! Grandpa Zuko! ...Grandpa Fire Lord? Um... I'll think of something!

[restorehonour]

Anything except "grandpa". I'm not that old. [Disregarding the fact he does act like a grumpy old man. B|]

i'm so sorry. ilu

[shipperondeck]

But You're Grandpa Aang's friend! That makes you Grandpa Zuko! [She's decreed it.]

[ninemechanicalmuses]

[CLEARLY ZUKO IS A FLAWLESS CHOICE FOR BITTY CONTROL DUTY]

All sorts of fun, isn't it, meeting people from different parts of your timeline?

[restorehonour]

[RIGHT??]

Tell me about it. These kids are from seventy years into the future!

[ninemechanicalmuses]

[Perfect. Best of all possible plans]

That is impressive! But don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually. It gets even better when you share headspace with people from different parts of your timeline. I'm lucky in that I tend to interact with the past. Meeting someone from my future sounds... well, terrifying.

There are some things I don't want to know yet.

Goodness! Where are my manners. Tarvek Sturmvoraus, Prince of Sturmhalten. You are?

[mr_spiritual]

Ikki can be a handful sometimes. You just need a little patience.

[Or a lot of it]

[restorehonour]

...Tenzin, right? [Wow this is so weird, you're old enough to be his father.]

Any other advice? I'm not exactly... known for being patient.

[Understatement of the year award goes to Zuko!]

[ex_allthestories877]

[Here's another airbitty come to see Zuko. Only this one is on a mission. There is a story that she's dying to hear!]

You're Fire Lord Zuko! I was reading all about your adventures with Grandpa Aang. I was wondering, what happened with your mother?

[Please please tell this child before she expires of curiosity!]

[restorehonour]

[There are whole books about their adventures? Well, hopefully they're a little more accurate than the Ember Island Players' renditions.]

I wish I knew, but I don't. Sorry.
