Someone please stop me.

[learnpatience]

While I appreciate the consideration, I would rather return to Republic City and spend time with my family. Both need me right now. I certainly refuse to be sent into space for your amusement. I'm certain you can find a better hobb--

What do you mean my children are going up there? I must put a stop to this at once!

Space isn't all that bad. Your children will have a blast!

[learnpatience]

But there are untold dangers up there! My children have never been in space before, they won't know what to expect.

[Not like you will either, Tenzin.]

[knowsaboutanger]

They can expect... cold. It's kinda cold.

But it's still fun, and really pretty.

stop you? now why would we do that...?

[100yearsgone]

Hold on a second Tenzin, I don't think you're giving the ship a fair shot here.

Well. I tried.

[learnpatience]

[/Crying gently.]

I don't.

[...]

[...wait]

Fa-- Aang?

OMG!!! /cannot contain excitment

[100yearsgone]

[ Nodding excitedly, Aang clears his throat. ]

Yeah. That's me. I am your father. [ ...Yeah, that's the kind of thing that sounds better in your head. ]

I'm sorry. I can't not be excited to see you and Jinora and Ikki, but I'll remain calm, family comes first, I understand. [ Uh huh. ]

It's just... Nothing makes me sadder than thinking about how I won't be alive to meet my grandchildren. [ Okay. He feels a tiny bit sad for trying to guilt trip his son. ]

[heartisabattleground]

Hey, space can be pretty fun when your flying around it. You'll see!

[learnpatience]

I would rather bring my family home safely. I'm sure it's quite the adventure, but I don't want my children to be a part of it.

[heartisabattleground]

Sometimes things just happen and you just have to go with it for awhile. Even if it's not what you're hoping you may as well have fun, right?

[Believe him, he knows...sort of.]

[unetrustworthy]

How would you do that?

[learnpatience]

I'm... not sure. But I know I can't let this happen.

[unetrustworthy]

It would be nice if things worked out that way, wouldn't it?

But the ship's not so bad. I...actually really like being there.

WHAT IVY SAID. >3

[daughterofthemoonandsea]

It's really not that bad up there, actually, and I'm sure Korra, Jinora, and Ikki would really appreciate having you there with us.

MOTHER, WHY.

[learnpatience]

If I can't prevent it, I suppose I can at least--

[... oh not again wtf.]

LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER. MOTHER KNOWS BEST.

[daughterofthemoonandsea]

[Smiling, almost apologetic-- for the brain break.] You can at least...? Come look out for the kids, right? [It's how she'd reason it if it were her anyway.]

[idkworldruler]

Well now, aren't you and your kids lucky?

[learnpatience]

I wouldn't say lucky, exactly. But I suppose it could be worse.

[irohdisboat]

Hmm...space...sounds like a grand adventure.

[Which is his way of saying. "SPACE?! Gotta go to space. See space. Hey, hey, hey Tenzin what's your favorite thing about space. mine is space"]

[learnpatience]

Ah, hello, General Iroh. I suppose it does sound like quite an adventure. However, I would like some downtime before my next "grand adventure."

[idea_guy]

Wait just a second here! [Nothing gets by Sokka.] So if you're Katara and Aang's son... that makes me the cool uncle! [Biggest grin ever.]

[Pause. But wait... You can see the wheels turning.]

I am the cool uncle, right?

[learnpatience]

[Okay how many tiny relatives are going to show up? At least Tenzin has been sort of forewarned.]

To be accurate, you're my only uncle.

[deconflagration]

You don't seem like that kinda guy who usually gets his way.

[learnpatience]

I can be forceful, when necessary. Learning that my children will be in space, possibly in danger, has forced me to relent.

[Holy familiar-looking guy, Batman! Hmm... that scar...]

I LOVE YOU

[korrallary]

Relax, Tenzin.

I'll get us all out of there soon. Your children will be safe with me.

♥ It was too hard to resist.

[learnpatience]

I know. Still, I would feel much better if I were up there with them.

[Sounding concerned:] How are you?
