[ Hey, these are just things that happen to everyone. Waking up with wings in unknown barrier-surrounded nature, finding one of your children playing in the fountain perfectly at ease and getting the majority of your information from her. Very fast-paced, quite nonsensical seeming information at that.

Luceti, thus far, could not make any less sense. This probably shows on his face. Which, depending on Luceti citizens' art recognition skills, may be somewhat familiar. The odds are... what they are.

Tenzin is grateful for the little communications crash-course Ikki so happily provided, though. He passes on writing out a message in pink marker, though. The journal will catch the end of this conversation before he diverts attention to the pages again. Clearing throat and 3, 2, 1. ]

Jinora, if you can hear this, respond immediately. Korra, Asami, the same applies to you. I've found Ikki- [ If the featured airbending child securely latched onto his neck is anything to go by, of course. And the 'please' after that "same applies to you" is implied, all right. ] I would like to make sure everyone else is all right, and hear about what's happened.

[ You know, to see which elements corroborate with what he heard of Ikki's experiences. Especially regarding who she's been staying with. Which he'll be seeing for himself in person later, of course, once his daughter goes through with all plans to march him to Avatar House like a new pet. So there's that much. ]

... Yes. [ Haha wow, everyone's lives in this place. ] Ikki's certainly been keeping herself busy.

Yeah...well, she's a pretty chatty kid. [Toph definitely has a soft spot for her, though. No one else has been ingenious enough to make her a picture out of wire before.]

I'm Toph Bei Fong. But you were probably expecting that.

There are very few things I'm not expecting at this point. [ It's... very much Toph. Wow, that is actually Toph, speaking with that childlike voice from a point where Lin doesn't exist, or any of the children from their generation. Telling him his daughter is chatty (which is rather true).

He thinks he might be getting the hang of grasping these concepts. ]

Hello.

[That tends to happen when you rapidly get beaten over the head with such concepts.]

...Hi. You, um...heard from Aang and Katara yet? They're here, too. [Though Ikki surely informed him of that, too.]

[ He feels bad for crashing this teen party, man. It's awkwards. ]

I've heard. [ And Lin as well, but he should probably avoid mentioning that. ] Not- from them, not yet.

[Tarlokk, too. You can feel awkward together.]

Welp, welcome to the weirdest vacation of your life.

Thank you. I'm certain our hosts won't mind if I decide against relaxing.

Nope. They have a nasty habit of making relaxing pretty tough to pull off anyway.

[ He almost asks if she's been all right, then... well, thinks better of it. Kidnapped, coded, winged and trapped, he doesn't think he should expect too much from it. ]

Not surprising. But still very unfortunate.

[Probably for the best, old man. She wouldn't give you a real answer, anyway. She won't give anyone a real answer right now.]

...Yep, things probably couldn't get much worse.

Things do have a way of seeming like that in unfortunate circumstances. But they can also improve in ways that we don't anticipate. Though of course waiting is difficult. [ Nothing lasts forever. It's one thing that's absolute fact no matter where you go. ]

[Sorry, Tenzin, but she's going to respond with a rather unpleasant-sounding groan.]

Oh, great. You're one of those advice-y philosophical types, huh?

[ Ah, Toph Bei Fong. ]

Apparently. I've found it more useful than not.

I guess so. Positive attitudes and all.

[You'll have to forgive her for not feeling all that positive at the moment.]

More or less. [ He's taking it over the alternative while he can. Too old for this, man. ] Have you... been here long?

Only two months...this time. I was here for almost a year before. It's been almost a year and a half since I first showed up.

[In her memories, at least.]

I'm sorry. I wish that I could help.

Yeah. [She mumbles.] We're kinda beyond help here. Have fun.
