"You may have a point on that. Dating was never exactly my strongest talent.

"I sincerely look forward to you being a horrible influence on them, brother."

"That's because dating requires a courtship with not only another person, but with your own comfort zones."

Tenzin is the most stationary Airbender in the history of Airbending.

"But, it is good to hear that you've accepted yourself for who you are, and have resigned yourself to your fate."

Mental images start to flit across Tenzin's brain - Pema holding their child, flying on Oogi as a family, seeing Mom and her grandchild.

"I have no qualms about my fate." Sounding terribly pleased with the scenario, in fact.

"Now, you must forgive me, but I have some business I have to attend to."

"I suppose," he says sounding ever so put upon. "But if you must do seven hundred more laps of the Island before you turn in for the evening, then I should really let you get back to that.

Before you go though, we're going to be here for at least another week or so. SO if anything should happen, dial the base and they'll be able to drag me out of whatever seedy dive I've holed myself up in."

Tenzin is nodding even without the usefulness of Bumi being able to see him. "Yes, of course.

"I hope to have some more exciting news when I speak to you next."

[abitofawildman]

"That, my dear brother, makes two of us."
