I know a bit about his world, but not lots yet. It's too bad he didn't get to go, though. Does Katara still have the clothes you got her? Where'd you get money? Or did you keep it when you got here to begin with?
[ Ikki nodded, before remembering, yet again, that she wasn't on video chat. ] Katara's my family, but she's not GranGran yet, 'cept I keep calling her that, 'cause she kinda is. I dunno - no one says how long she's been here, 'cept Smoker's been here two years and thinks she's been here longer than him, 'cause when I asked she just said "a long time", 'cause sometimes grown ups don't tell me things, but then some other grown ups do so I can usually figure it out anyway.
But y'know, GranGran is old and taught the Avatar and lives in the South Pole, and she's got a voice that's warm and old and she's patient and whenever we see her she'll give us hugs that are home even if they're not.
Katara hugs me like that, but she doesn't remember me being born or my sister or my brothers, and she remembers stuff GranGran wouldn't, and she says I can't have soda and candy 'cept sometimes like mommy would, and makes sure we always have enough veggies, and I help set the table and cook when I can, and she sleeps in all the time and I never knew GranGran did that, and she worries 'bout me 'cause she mentions things and talks 'round things that other people talk about.
[ She waves her hands, vaguely. ] Katara is Katara and GranGran is GranGran and they're the same but they're different, too. I really, really love them both.
[ Ikki trails off, humming, trying to figure out what she was talking about. ] Oh! But, y'know, Katara should probably go on more all day dates. 'Cause she does almost all the shopping and stuff, and I'm gonna try to do more of it when I can, and I try to clean the vegetables and stuff, and I always clean up my room, but I think she should go do fun things more, too. 'Cause I do fun things, even though I do airbending training for a few hours a day, y'know?
