[ 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. ]

[ He will ask about everything he wants to ask about. Well, maybe not really. Tenzin's not quite got the gist of the everyone-is-captive aspect of Luceti, so he'll respond with a measure of his own suspicion. ]

Yes, I must be. May I ask who's speaking?

Well. I'm not sure how to make this not weird, so I'll just be blunt. It's your good old uncle Sokka.

You're-

That is impossible! [ BLUSTER BLUSTER Tenzin come on your mother and father are here, it's time to let it go. ]

Have you seen your wings yet? It's not that impossible.

Those are impossible for entirely different reasons. [ And yet he skips right on up to the deflating. ] What are you doing here?

[ Man, Sokka, the nerve of you. ]

This is my third year here. What are you doing here?

I'll be sure to let you know when I'm able to answer that. [ 'Uncle Sokka'.

Three years, though, that can't be right. ] No one ever mentioned this particular point in history. It would have been very useful information to have.

There's a reason for that. It's. Complicated. While we're here, time stops. You probably didn't even notice that Ikki and Jinora were gone. And you never knew about this place because when we leave, we don't remember it.

[And. You're old. And this is so much weirder than two little girls showing up and taking his fiancee's old room. This is his sister's son. A full grown man, who would clearly remember Sokka being much older. A councilman and whatever else he had been. What are your cousins like? Do you have any?

Do you have an Aunt Suki?]

Some of us are just more behind on the timeline than you.

[ By a few... decades. Not mentioning that.

But it's a good point that he's raising- Ikki and Jinora, gone for days, Korra and Asami as well, without so much as a hitch for the rest of them. Time stopping?

These are spirit shenanigans if ever there were a prime example. ]

We'll have to focus on fixing that as well.

There's a lot to fix. It's not like we haven't been trying.

[Just a tad defensive. He did the same thing as a New Feather. He knows what that mindset is like. But that tiny insinuation, especially from someone on your own world, that you haven't tried. It's bothersome.]

[ Wow, did he just manage to offend his respected hero councilman warrior uncle who's been here for three years.

Way to go, Tenzin. You are the best diplomat. ]

Of course you have. I didn't mean to- this isn't something you would take lightly, I'm sure.

[It's okay. One day you'll grow up and get better. Oh wait.]

We've explored a lot of stuff. And we can talk about that later. [A pause.] Have you seen Katara or Aang yet?

...no. Not yet. I have the feeling it's going to be inevitable.

Yeah. [Very inevitable.] It's going to be hard for them. [Katara especially.] I mean. You're not exactly... cute like your daughters.

[ Wow, how-

accurate. ]

Believe me, I'm aware. I don't want to make this more uncomfortable than it already is.

I don't know how to fix that. [A pause.] But uh. Hey. It's nice to meet you. It's okay if we just avoid the whole nephew and uncle thing, right?

Of course. [ New favorite. ] With our current age issue, it should be simple enough to overlook.

Alright. Good. So you're just some airbender guy. I'm some warrior guy. Nice to meet you, Tenzin.

And you, Sokka. I look forward to discussing what it is you've learned in your time here.

Well I have been here the longest. Of people from our world, that is. So I am kind of a good go-to person for all the important stuff in this world.

I'm not surprised. [ Information and strategy, a Sokka specialty. ] There are bound to be invaluable details that come from the experience.

[ The journals can't properly explain everything, can they? He'll be going through it thoroughly later on, but if there are things better explained face-to-face, well. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. ]

Oh. Lots. I'll tell you about them eventually. But if there's anything you want to know now...
