Letters.

Waiting for Commander Bumi at the principal port to Ba Sing Se:

Brother,

I sincerely hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. I do not know how long the United Forces will take to forward this message to you, but you had requested on your last visit that my letters be slightly less formal. I will do my utmost.

The White Lotus keep me apprised constantly about Korra's progress in the South Pole. I imagine it will be quite some time before my presence will be required but I am pleased to hear of everything going so smoothly thus far. Mom has become friendly with Korra's mother. I hope she will be able to provide them with some insight into what life with an Avatar might hold in their future.

Have you heard from Kya recently?

I am currently having serious concerns regarding my relationship with Lin. I love her, but I do not know where to go from here.

Please find the stuffed sky bison toy included in the package. Happy Birthday.

Tenzin

"She didn't have to, a blind man could have seen that," he quips as he tries to get a grip on where this conversation is going.

"In your message you said she told you everything. What is everything, Tenzin?"

"That girl, that foolish romantic girl," he says starting to laugh with relief in his voice.

"I thought you were angry at me. I double-timed it to port to get to this phone because I thought you were furious, and...it was just Pema finally finding her feet to tell you how she feels."

No big.

"It does, actually. Thank you."

Bumi's chair squeaks as he leans back, and his boots clomp as he puts his feet on the desk.

"So what happened?"
Because he's nosey.

"Spoil sport." Bumi sighs.

"You'd been quiet after your fight with Lin, so I sent Pema a letter asking her to check up on you for me. I never really asked her outright to do that before, normally you just came up in polite conversation.

We never talked about her feelings for you because we never had to, they were just...understood. This time she wrote back asking if she should give up hope that you'd ever see her that way."

"I didn't," Bumi confirms. "In truth, I told her to let go of hope. I've been where she is, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Her coming to you with that was all her. Please tell me you didn't do something stupid."

From Bumi's point of view the only way Tenzin and Lin are ever going to separate is if Lin leaves.

"Anything short of complete honesty and one hundred percent respect would be stupid."

"You what?!?!"

Which is followed almost instantly by a loud crash, which could only be Bumi's chair tipping over and him falling to the ground.

"I'm...fine," he says struggling to his feet. "You, on the other hand, must have fallen from a great height and landed on your head. Rutting badgermoles, Tenzin! Why would you tell Lin that?!"

"Yes, but I meant with Pema, Tenzin," he starts before his brother can finish. "Not with...wait...what?"

"I'm sorry, I think our connection got fuzzy there for a moment. Please repeat what you just said.

...

And I don't mean the Hmmm."

It's not often that Bumi is rendered speechless.

"I'm here," he says eventually. "I'm just gobsmacked, is all."

There's another moment of silence before Bumi starts to laugh again.

"You heartbreaker, you. I didn't think you had it in you."
