None of them should be here, any of them, and he's suddenly fiercely sure of it. The past Avatar, living, breathing, young- seeing him is the slightest bit painful. He lived on in so many ways after his passing, of course, in the city, in his family, in Korra, completing his turn in the grand scheme of things, and Tenzin's known for nearly all his life that nobody is ever truly gone when they've moved on. But that doesn't make it very easy in practice. He doesn't imagine there's an age you reach where you see a lost loved one's face and don't miss them. Simply another part of living.
Maybe the deep spiritual aspects of this particular message can be contemplated later. For the time being, he's resting a very cautious hand on the page and staring at it as it deserves. ]

[ ...oh, that was probably not the greatest way to address him with his age being what it apparently is, but Tenzin and groundbreaking surprises have never quite gotten on well. ]
