two whirlwinds. WRITTEN.

[breezing]

Hi! This is Ikki. I'm writing this time. Since people keep asking about mommy and daddy, I drew pictures. And then some of people here who I met and my family here!


This is my family at home! That's me and my sister Jinora, and then Meelo is on Daddy's head, and Mommy and Daddy are holding Rohan. We're all at Air Temple Island there!


This is my family here! We're in a pink place because I wanted to use pink. It's me and Grandpa and Katara and Uncle Sokka and Aunt Toph and Uncle Roku and Uncle Zuko!


And this is everyone I met so far! It's Shikamaru who's super nice and cool and makes really really great shadows, and Nomi and Luke who are like an Avatar but not, and Chien and Soren, who don't bend air, and Vivi, who has the prettiest hair ever!


Also I got a swim suit and an apple and candy and soda and a room in our house, and it's the best best best best house ever!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it -- it's meant to make people happy when they see it.

Say...is Toph really your aunt?

[Voice]

[breezing]

Yep! [ ...oh, wait, she probably means by blood. ] Well, we're not related, but that's who she is. Grandpa Aang and Katara are my grandparents!

[It takes Pao-Lin a moment to register the implications of that.

...huh. Interesting. She'd only talked to Katara once or twice and has never spoken with Aang, but she knows of them through her friendship with Toph. Vaguely, she starts wondering how she'd feel if people from her future showed up in Luceti.]

[Then she remembers she's supposed to be talking to someone.]

They're probably a lot younger than you remember them, aren't they?

[Voice]

[breezing]

Ah, yep! They're lots younger. [ Or...significantly more alive. :|b ] But, they're still them, y'know? I mean, they're not, but they are in the sense that they are.

[Voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Well, that's good! I know sometimes people change a lot when they grow up, and sometimes it's not for the better.

[Voice]

[breezing]

Ah, that's not how it is for them! They're all amazing!

[Voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Hehe, I wouldn't be surprised. Toph's a good friend of mine, and she's amazing right now. So I'm sure she'd grow up to be even more amazing.

[Voice]

[breezing]

Oh, you're Aunt Toph's friend?

[Voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Yup! We met here a couple of months ago, when I saw her teaching, um...I saw her showing some people here how to fight. [She called them "manliness lessons", though.]

[Voice]

[breezing]

Yeah, she's reaaaaaaaaaally strong, huh?

[Voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Definitely! I really admire her. I heard she started teaching metalbending back home, too.
