I have no excuse

[theleaf]

Unhand me, Even Stranger Woman!  Or else Daddy will come for you.  Or Korra.  Or Daddy and Korra.  Maybe they'll even bring Daddy's old girlfriend.  

Then you'll be sorry.

That's right, let this kid go! [This... oddly familiar-looking kid.]

[breezing]

Hey, what about me?! I could come for you, too!

[theleaf]

[The sight of another airbender causes the five-year-old to come to a screeching halt. Mid-air. His face twists into a look of surprise...then suspicion.]

Are you Daddy's new student?

[theleaf]

Okay, okay! [Guh. Sisters. This is why he's so happy Mommy finally had another boy.] You can come too...I guess.

[savedtheworld]

D-Daddy? No, I don't really have any teachers you'd call new. I already learned all my Avatar stuff, after all!

[breezing]

I'll totally save you and then we can go and get dessert!! 'Cause that's what you do after daring adventures, right?

Anyway who's got you?! Do I need to do something?? I can go and get grandpa or someone, and they'll help me beat her up!!

[theleaf]

[At the word 'Avatar', his face twists into a very visible frown. Like a child who thinks he's bring tricked but knows he's way too smart for that.]

Nice try, Mister.

You're not Korra. You don't even look like her. Korra has hair.

[theleaf]

Dessert?! What kind?!

[Yeah, you definitely lost him after that.]

[savedtheworld]

Korra...? [He squints, the name being vaguely familiar from in-game and elsewhere in D_Mland.] No, of course I'm not her and I don't have hair anymore. My name's... I'm Avatar Aang!

[theleaf]

Avatar...Aang?

[Wait. He knows that name. Somewhere. Give him a minute.]

[...]

[...oh, wait! Duh!]

You're a lot shorter than I thought you'd be, Grandpa.

[breezing]

CHOCOLATE! It's the BEST kind! I've had it loooooooots of times by now and it's great with soda which is like really really fizzy juice?? You should have some with me, Meeelo! We can have a tea party!

Only with no tea 'cause tea's LESS FUN.

[savedtheworld]

Did you just call me grandpa? I know I was frozen for a hundred years but... I'm not that old! A-and I'm still growing, really!

[theleaf]

Ew. No tea.

Can we have a Soda party instead?

[theleaf]

I sure hope so, or I'm gonna be taller than you!

Mommy says I'm gonna be super tall when I get older.

[breezing]

Yeah!!! Ooooh, I'll invite EVERYONE to it, too. Or just us! I haven't seen you around in a while, you know! Oh oh oh oh but you know what would be the BEST?

We should find a CASTLE, and have tea there!

[theleaf]

Mommy and the baby can come too. And daddy. And Jinora. And Korra, but only if she brings her pretty friend with the hair.

Oh, and Grandpa! [He points upward, to where Aang's still busy freaking out. (HI AANG!)] He can come too, can't he?

[savedtheworld]

Really? That's great! I hear I'm gonna be tall someday, too! And that I'm gonna get a beard! But if you get taller than me, I don't mind.

[theleaf]

...you don't? Why?

[breezing]

Well DUH. Grandpa lives with me where I am, so he's always allowed to go come to my stuff. And it's A-sa-mi! Asami! She's really really nice isn't she?? And Rohan and Jinora and daddy and mommy can DEFINITELY come.

And Katara! And Uncle Sokka! And Bolin and Mako and Aunt Suki and Aunt Toph and Uncle Zuko...

[savedtheworld]

You seem nice! So if it'd make you happier to be the tallest, I don't see a problem with that.

[theleaf]

[SO MANY NAMES]

That. Is a lot of people.

[theleaf]

You're really nice too, Grandpa. I like you.

[breezing]

Yeah! That's what makes it a tea PARTY!! The more people there are, the more fun it is, don't you think?

[savedtheworld]

Th-thanks! [It's very heartwarming, but within his head the bison hasn't quite snagged the apple yet.] But... Why am I Grandpa?

[theleaf]

Because your name is Avatar Aang, and Grandpa's name is Avatar Aang, so you must be Grandpa!

[Irrefutable logic.]
