You're right. It does seem like everyone could use a little mothering there. [A beat.] But you can't expect me to simply leave my children behind for another world.

Lady Pema. [Bow.]

I'm not sure about the situation, but I hope your mun and you come to some agreement.

If anything, the little ones back home can take care of themselves in a fight.

[supinity]

Please; Pema is fine, General.

[She smiles slightly, though it's more like a grimace.]

That they can, but that still doesn't mean I don't like leaving them alone. Rohan is just a baby.

[irohdisboat]

Iroh is fine for you as well, ma'am.

I'm sorry. I forgot your recent addition. [Small babies...ergh.] I don't suppose they'd let you take him with you, would they?

[supinity]

[Hey, Rohan is the cutest thing to ever cute.]

I hadn't thought about that. But most places don't allow such a thing, do they?

[irohdisboat]

[He is! Just...Iroh's not very good with babies even if he has a few younger siblings and cousins.]

Mm, I think there are rules. My mun recalls that in one game she saw, a person's pet was allowed to come...not that pets and babies are on the same level!

[Little flail!]

[mathair]

Good, I'm not the only one with such a concern, then.

[supinity]

It's an honest concern, I'm amazed there haven't been more.

[spats]

Everyone would be really glad to see you, Pema.

[supinity]

That's nice of you to say Mako. How have you been?

[spats]

I'm alright. I'll just echo what Korra said about it being better your children don't turn up in the ruined city, it's not a great place to grow up.

[korralate]

Pema! You don't have a thing to worry about. The kids will be fine, and it's probably better that they don't come along anyway.

[supinity]

Is that so? [Now you'll get a worried frown.]

[jerkbends]

[ Mothering... sob ]

Who are you supposed to be?

[supinity]

[Shhh. Come let me hold you Zuko.]

My name is Pema. I'm an Acolyte at Air Temple Island, and my husband Tenzin is a member of the council in Republic City.

[fatherlord]

[Noooo! Don't hug him. He won't learn anything that way. Stop undermining my teachings woman. Hugs are for softies.]

[jerkbends]

[ fffffffffff--what the hell papa ]

[fatherlord]

[Son, son, we don't have feels in this family. Stoppit. I'll take away your dual swords priviliges for like a week.]

[jerkbends]

[ Feels are what drive this family, papi. Deal with it. Embrace these feels. EMBRACE THEM. ]

[fatherlord]

[I'll embrace your throat with my hands!]

[And now picture Ozai choking Zuko like Homer does Bart.]

[jerkbends]

[ ACK. No. Bad papi bad. /falcon firepunch. ]

[fatherlord]

[Wold you rather have him actually hug you? I mean, yeah okay, that would be nice. But also unbelievably creepy in a 'Invasion of The Body Snatchers' type of way.]

[jerkbends]

Tenzin. I know of him.
