[ 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. ]

[ action ]
And then she turns and smiles at her son, but in that moment choose to set the strangeness aside and view him as Ikki's father, and she can certainly hug him - hug the man who is confused and scared, and probably angry, who never wanted to be in this situation in the first place. Yes, she can hug that man.]
Well, it wouldn't make me uncomfortable to hug Ikki's father. Stand up.
[Let's do this, send the child on her way, and then freak out like adults.]
[ action ]
But, in the spirit of setting an example for his daughter, he sees the wisdom in listening to his future mother. It is, of course, all about the wisdom in listening and not to do with the fact that she is his future mother.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, Tenzin. The point is, he stands up. ]
[ action ] and skipping Lucy for this round!
...it was a wonder she didn't run away screaming, actually. He's so old. I don't know him at all.
No, she won't think of that. She just knocks viciously on the door of her heart and tears opened the gates that had shut in self-defense because she would at least give him this much consequence.
Circumstances aside, he's part of our family.
She closed her eyes and concentrated on conveying only these thoughts through her hug: I know you're scared. I know you're confused. I am too. But it will be okay, because we're family and we're together.]
[ action ] skipping back in, what up
Katara looked so much younger next to Ikki's father. It was strange, and jarring, but it wasn't an inherently bad feeling for Ikki.
Without knowing her, without having her in their times, Katara and Aang and Sokka and Toph and everyone had welcomed her in, even if there might have been problems she couldn't see. Whatever they weren't to her, whatever they would become, they were family always, and Ikki held onto that belief, lived it in family dinners and waking up to make breakfast with Aang or Sokka.
And a very big part of her was so, so happy she could introduce these people to someone she loved as much as her father. Even with the problems that might bring. ]
[ action ] I'll get a hug icon one of these days
Having Ikki in on it as well makes it a little bit easier, makes him feel a touch less awkward in light of everything. It's not entirely unlike looking at Korra and once in a while being entirely aware that she's his father reborn. Katara, who is not entirely his mother but who holds her family in such high regard, very different but almost the same on some fundamental level.
There have been worse hugs in the world. ]
[ action ] You're in the Avatar Cast again, Dani - hugs are a must
Gah. Awkward.]
Welcome to Luceti.
[Tenzin.
She can't make herself say the name.]
[ action ] It's true B(
Quite awkward. ]
Thank you.
[ action ] "again"?
Ikki's used to her father's height, and settles for dangling off his arm. It's more odd for her that Meelo and Jinora aren't also around and hanging off of Tenzin. Mostly Meelo.
She's watching the adult exchange with interest. ]
[ action ] she was our Smellerbee! And idk whose turn it is so I am going
And then she turns her attention to her granddaughter.]
Ikki, your dad and I need to talk for a few minutes by ourselves. Where would you like to go?
[ action ] I was indeed aaaa. asdjfald also I'm the worst I'm sorry
Still, for the best to clarify since he doesn't know Luceti's layout and all. ]
Not too far, please.
