♥ 1. Where did you come from? You may not know anyone else on the boat, but you've all got one thing in common; you're headed to Republic City.
♥ 2. It's your first day in Republic City. You might wanna get a job lined up or you'll be living on the streets.
♥ 3. You're the new person in the city. You gotta make some friends, right? Go find someone and strike up a conversation.
♦ 4. Feeling a little crafty? Maybe you could make a quick yuan. Sell information for money or do a little threatening.
♦ 5. Vines. Vines everywhere! They're like the heads of a hydra. What are you going to do about the vines that just invaded your apartment?
♦ 6. Triads, Equalists... thugs in general. Welcome to the aftermath of losing a fight. Are you gonna go find a healer or are you gonna tough it out?
♣ 7. You've got a job. What is it? How are you going to get customers? You better get some soon. More customers equals more money.
♣ 8. You're a bender, right? Then you better practice it. What's that? Oh, a non-bender? You can still find a partner to spar with, right?
♣ 9. It's late. Have a drink at the pub! Get to know one another. Let it all flow freely!
♠ 10. Yeah! You've got a driver's license! Everyone else better watch out...
♠ 11. Entertainment's just rolled on into the city! Watch the ostrich-horses race or the acrobats perform. Or maybe you're one of them!
♠ 12. It's a long line at whatever vendor you're at. Make small talk with nearby civilians or try and haggle the vendor down to a better price.

Noticed that, huh?

[And here he thought he was being all suave.]

For what it's worthy, it was a lovely funeral...as funerals go.

[He nods once to Bumi's question, whether or not it was intended to be rhetorical.]

I will take your word for it.

[And since he'd prefer to spare hearing more details, it's time for a subject change.]

So, what are you doing now that you have retired from military life? Any grand plans for rest and relaxation?

[Bumi opens his mouth to give the usual answer of, I'll rest when I'm dead, but somehow manages to stop himself before cramming his foot even further into his mouth. Admiral Iroh would be so proud of him.]

None, aside from making myself a general nuisance around Air Temple Island. Tenzin and Pema just had another little one, so I figure they could use an extra pair of hands.

Four airbender children, I imagine they can be quite a handful their parents. Tenzin is most fortunate to have a brother like you.

[He smiles as he says it, not even thinking of his own family. Okay, maybe a tiny bit. It's the honest truth as he sees it.]

Though it would seem you have a night off from babysitting today to play Pai Sho and share drinks.

[Bumi can't help but sit up a bit straighter ever so slightly preen at the praise. And coming from Iroh!]

I don't suppose I could get that in writing, could I? Some calligraphy that's suitable for framing?

[Something that will look nice in Tenzin's office. And his meditation space. And on the fridge.

His expression shifts when the topic does.]


That's the weird part...I haven't seen hide nor arrow of Tenzin or Pema. In fact the only airbenders I have seen are my father as a kid and Jinora...who looks an awful lot like my father as a kid.

Hm... Is it possible they are traveling elsewhere in the world?

[But then, if the whole family was off traveling somewhere, why would they leave one child behind? But he is curious about this Jinora.]

When you say Jinora--your niece, I assume?--looks like your father as a child, do you mean entirely or just a passing coincidence?

Not without Jinora they aren't. Family history aside, Tenzin isn't the kind of father to just up and let his 11 year old daughter sit out on family vacations.

[No, in fact, the only people he ever wants to sit out on family vacations are his siblings.]

No I mean the resemblance is uncanny. Which...it's kind of scary how I never noticed it before, it's not like Dad's face hasn't been plastered on everything for quite literally decades. Without hair and with tattoos, there's really no doubt who her grandfather was.
