I would have gone back to my city and my police force regardless.

But yes, it's good to have my bending back.

Why would you even want your bending back? [You're just going to hurt more people.]

[lawbender]

[ How does she even explain this. ]

It's a part of me. It felt like I'd lost a limb.

[ex_lostblood813]

Haven't you ever thought that maybe you're better off without it. It isn't like it's a limb you need to survive.

[allwillbemade]

Even when the impurity is removed, the taint remains. Benders cannot be saved. The only thing you can do is make sure they can do no more harm.

[ex_lostblood813]

All they know is harm! They can't even see the real damage they cause.

[lawbender]

You're nothing but a hypocrite, Amon. You better hope we don't find you.

[o_tea_p]

The road is long and winding, but in the end it leads to justice.

Or perhaps I should say, good things come to those who are friends with the Avatar.

[lawbender]

Sometimes we have to make our own justice.

[ We're not going to talk about mushy friendships what is this. ]

[o_tea_p]

[laughs]

You are your mother's daughter. She would be proud of you.

[amon_fire]

Hey.

I think that, before I disappear from your life forever, I should ask...

Do you know how your parents met?

Was it... a blind date?

[lawbender]

...

.......

I can't even be offended by a joke that bad.

[amon_fire]

You weren't supposed to be offended.

You were supposed to laugh.

[bequiet_hescreamed]

How does it feel to get it back?

[ Because getting his magic back after having lost it for a while was kind of a headache... ]

[lawbender]

It's like being able to feel again. Feel everything.

[bequiet_hescreamed]

Sort of like magic, then.

[alesserequalist]

That's a good thing than.`

[lawbender]

I like to think so. It makes things easier.

[alesserequalist]

Yes it does. Are you going back to be the main chief [I forgot what the position is called. x]] of the Metalbenders?

[badlydressdnclearlyinsane]

That's very Jedi. We... have certain talents that help us as we serve, and it's terrible to lose them, even temporarily, but that shouldn't stop anyone.

Still, it's good to get these things back.

[lawbender]

[ Thank you for your stamp of approval, Luke. ] What's a Jedi? A different kind of police force?

[ She approves of the dedication. ]

[badlydressdnclearlyinsane]

[He calls it like he sees it, okay.] Sometimes. Other times we're mediators, or healers, or we teach. Different people work to different strengths. Our talents give us a major edge, and they're part of our spirituality, but in the end it's the desire to help people, to work good on the galaxy, that makes a Jedi.

...It's more complicated than that, but I don't think it's too relevant right now. I was just interested in saying that I admire that attitude in anyone.

[irohdisboat]

I think we all are glad for your return, no matter what.

I don't think it would be the same with someone else in charge.

[lawbender]

Thanks for your confidence, General Iroh. And your help.

[oneofakind]

You're the best chief of police this city could have! We're all very lucky to have you back in full force.

[Yeah the smile's a little self-satisfied, but she means what she says.]

[lawbender]

That almost sounded sincere, Avatar.

[ Maybe a small smile. ]
