[The morning had a dullness to it, a sort of dreariness that just seemed to make time go slowly. Even nature seemed to be having a hard time getting started today. The clearing in the forest was still and quiet, except for the stirrings of an old man who was slowly coming back into consciousness. He has a long beard, and a far receded hair line. Despite his age, he is well muscled individual. As his eyes slowly open he stretches a bit and winces. There is a moment or two as he gazes around his surroundings, taking everything in and sizing it up.]
This is certainly a strange place to wake up. I don't recall drinking any wine yesterday.
[He strokes his beard thoughtfully for a moment. He gives another wince and stretches his back a little. It is clear something strange has happened. It is then he turns his head for a second, and then startled turns it again]
Wings?! Since when do I have wings?!
[He shakes his head a second, and gives his cheek a pinch. It would seem he wasn't sleeping. When he had journeyed to the spirit world before he had maintained his shape, though that was the closest approximation he could make]
Mmmmm. I could use a cup of tea, and perhaps a bit of breakfast. Although I suppose that would be a bit much to ask.
[His gaze goes to the book which had a strange look to it, curiously he moved forward and taps it and... the feed cuts out]

That is very nice of you. I would be happy to brew some myself later, it helps me focus when I am a bit off balance.
[For some reason there is something oddly familiar about the girl]
I may be old, but I believe I can manage to make it to the village, I have traveled across most of the world after all.
From:
video
Where have you gone? Which world was it? Was it pretty?
From:
video
[He laughs at her energy. It was good for young people to have such things]
Well, I have gone all throughout the Fire Nation, to both the North and South poles, all throughout the Earth Kingdom, that was quite the journey, a large portion on foot too. I have also seen each of the four Air Temples. That is an abbreviated version of course.

[ And wow, she's suddenly a lot more interested. She knows those places! This guy is probably from home!! ]
Oh oh oh oh! You can come to OUR house, then. I bet grandpa and Katara and everyone will want to see you if you're from HOME. And you can tell me about the most EXCITING stories at a tea party, okay?
From:
video
You would be an Airbender then?
[Although in the grand scheme of things, if this was a different world, anything was possible]
Grandpa and Katara? I am familiar with the name. She is an excellent water bender, who wears a water tribe engagement necklace?
[Logic dictated only Aang could be the grandfather, but he was only nearing the age to think about a family, not have one with kids of their own]
From:
video
[ ...Soren's not used to carrying more than a fifty-odd pound girl, these days. ]
And yeah, that's Katara. There's also Uncle Sokka, Aunt Suki, Aunt Toph, Uncle Zuko, Bolin, Asami, and Korra. And Appa and Momo and Foo Foo Cuddlypoops. From home, I mean.
[ She ticks the off on her fingers as she goes, but also says it all super fast. ]
From:
video
[The probably wasn't exactly a reassuring thing. For those who couldn't use a cushion of air to slow their fall, probably wasn't good enough]
Ah, I think I recognized a few names in there. My nephew Zuko is here?
[The names of the royal family were not particularly common]
Foo Foo Cuddlypoops?
[That was a new one on him]
From:
video
[ Ikki's biased, here. ]
Nephew...? I dunno, is he the one with a scar who's grumpy sometimes?
And Foo Foo is Uncle Sokka's pet.
From:
video
[Airbenders laugh at gravity]
Yes, that would be him.
[It is also the usual way people describe him. He should work on adding a little more positivity into his nephews life]
Did you name his pet, or did he?
[With Sokka it was hard to tell]

[He smiles]
I am sure I will get along fabulously with Foo Foo, Petunia and Phillip. It would be nice to meet them. I believe you said something about a tea party?
From:
video
Oh, I'm Ikki, by the way. Did I say that?
From:
video
[He inclines his head politely]
It is a pleasure to meet you, Ikki. My name is Iroh.
From:
video
Ohhhh. [ IT CLICKS. But she...doesn't know too much about him. ] I met your great-grand-nephew once, he worked with my Uncle Bumi! He's got really nice hair.
From:
video
[That was certainly very interesting news indeed]
Great grand nephew? How wonderful! My nephew gets to have a full family life. Good looks run in the family, I suppose.
From:
video
I think that's what he is! ...'Cause that's what a niece's son would be, right?
From:
video
That would be a grand niece's son. A niece's son would be a grand nephew. If you add another generation you simply add a great for each generation after the first grand.
From:
video
Well he's the thing that is a nephew's daughter's son!
From:
video
You had it right the first time. Great grand nephew.
From:
video
Well, that, then!
