[He spares her a warm smile and gives a slight nod.]
That's a good choice, Ikki. Now make sure you're sitting down. Because this story? It's extra magical.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who came from the sky. She was an Avatar princess, and she was more magical than anyone. Anything that her heart touched was part of her kingdom. She landed in a fountain and met a humble monk. He was gonna be her grandfather one day, and he swore to take care of her. He just wanted to be a loyal and good knight for the princess. The princess connected to the future, so she brought all kinds of news about what would happen and what wouldn't. She told the monk that things would be alright with his friend, and that his people would be around again. He was happier than ever.
And the princess made their entire house part of her kingdom, because everyone loved her. That included the toughest of the knights. She could only see with her feet, but even she was no match for Ikki- I mean the princess! For the princess's heart. The knight couldn't see those arts that the princess made with her heart. So instead? The princess managed to turn her love into metal and twisted them so that they became art the knight could understand. That was how she struck the knight's heart, and she swore to be the princess's faithful aunt. They were a family that was big, and happy.
One day, the princess disappeared. She'd gone back to her castle in the sky. Everyone loved her and missed her. The monk loved that she was safe in her castle but he was sad that she was gone. But... the knight came to cheer him up. She showed him the metal arts that the princess had left behind. It was like the metals were speaking their own language, telling them that she really does love them back, and they'd all meet again and have fun. It made the monk smile, because he loved the Avatar princess as much as he knows the best families must love each other. One day, she came back, and... [And we started worrying all over again.] Everyone's smiles came back. No one could hug the princess enough. Her metal's still here, too, even if... the knight's gone. But her love's still here. So the kingdom's still complete.
[And he hugs her again, with a kiss to her forehead, smiling brightly.]
And one day? Everyone in that kingdom will have their own babies and... and they'll live happily ever after.
