[ 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. ]

[It's not the picture in the journal that immediately gives away this man's identity so much as it is who he's calling for. All people from Katara's world, from that time in her future, but first and foremost the children.

That's a dad thing.]

Your reputation precedes you.

So I'm noticing. [ Ikki, spreader of identities and news the likes of which the world has never seen. ]

To be fair, there was a great likeness to compare you to. [Just going to point you here. Your daughter is a master artist, clearly.]

I'm sure she's already mentioned me once, but I'll go ahead and introduce myself so we're even. Name's Shikamaru.

[ ...

Yes, that's definitely about what he'd expected. ]

It's nice to meet you, Shikamaru. [ Because MANNERS.

...he's vaguely sure that name is familiar, too. There was a lot of talking being aimed directly at him, okay. ] How is it you know Ikki?

We've met a couple of times, since she first got here. More than that though, I'm friends with Katara. So it was inevitable.

[ Right, a friend of Katara's. Of course she'd make friends, it would be odd if she didn't. ]

I see. I suppose you have a point.

If it weirds you out, you don't have to be polite about it.

[The guy's day has probably been hectic enough, and this conversation reeks of "stop overwhelming me so I can think for a damn minute".

Only without the swearing. He seems too classy for that.]

What- it does not weird me out. [ WOW, RUDE. He's far too mature for that, Shikamaru. Forever twelve. One hundred percent sure that it does not. Do that. ]

[...oh, so there's the family resemblance.]

I'm not sure what else you'd call it.

[Hi, he'll be the adult here.]

I'd call it... unsettling. Very unusual. Potentially dangerous.

[Still with the polite wording. Isn't a lot of that the same as what he said?]

Aa, there's no potentially about it. If you noticed it this early, you should be able to tell.

Anything that removes my children from their home like this could hardly be safe.

Not gonna lie - that's the crux of it.
