It is! [The gates are even more impressive when they're functioning.] Nice job, Ikki!
Here goes.
[Chouji has the patience to watch for a moment rather than barreling in immediately, and he reacts and dodges well enough to weave between a few of the gates successfully. It's clear that he is reacting to the gates rather than the air currents, though, and he can't hope to keep up that way. With a couple of dull clangs as they strike his armor, which Chouji neglected to remove, he's knocked out.]
Ah, sorry, I didn't think. The metal won't damage them, will it? [Granted, being hit by the gates is probably mildly unpleasant out of armor, but Chouji wouldn't want to harm anything that was made with as much craftsmanship as the gates obviously were. Especially taking into account how Ikki and Aang value them.]
