[Iroh gives a pleasant smile as the video opens up. In front of him there is a pai-sho board. It was time to finally time to formalize a date and setting for something he proposed awhile back]

Hello everyone, as some of you may remember, I had inquired about the interest of learning the wonderful game of pai-sho back a couple of months ago. It seemed there was at least a fair amount of interest in such a thing, so I am proceeding as if there were.

[He takes a sip of tea, placing it down delicately before continuing]

I would like to have the first learning day on the second of March. I haven't seen any holidays then, and it seems a good time for it. It will be held at the Welcome Center, and I hope that we shall have a great turn out. I humbly ask those who already are familiar with the game to come by and assist those who are learning.

[He inclines his head politely for such a request]

If anyone else would like to contribute a bit of time to help with set up, or perhaps some snacks, I would most appreciate it.

[He gives a kindly smile]

I look forward to seeing you all there, please feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have.

Of course. Any proper social gathering should have fine beverages and food upon which to snack.

[He figured]

I'm sure grandpa will let us take stuff from the bakery for it! You could have cupcakes!!

Yes, he has already told me that he would. I am sure if you make a mention of it he will do his best to make sure that happens.

I'll even help him decorate stuff! Maybe we can make the icing in patterns like on the pai sho tiles?

That sounds like a very good idea, Ikki!

[That hadn't occurred to him. It would certainly be an interesting style]

We'll do that, then! And we can make cookies the same way. If you use different colored doughs you can make symbols without icing for people who don't like icing stuff. And we can set up crackers and veggies boards like pai sho boards!

I'll leave you and Aang to the snacks then?

Yep, you can count on us!

Excellent that makes things a bit easier for me. How often do you play Pai Sho, Ikki?

Not really often. I usually played with Jinora, but she's not here. I play with Grandpa sometimes.

I had heard you occasionally play with Loki as well.

Yep! So...it's "sometimes".

A good way to spend some time certainly. I've only played him the once personally. I believe we are overdue for another match soon.

[He looks thoughtful]

Well, is he coming to this thing? Maybe you guys can have an exhibition match or something.

It certainly could be interesting. I will see if he agrees to it. That could be entertaining and educational!

Yeah! And it'd get people all excited about learning, right?

Yes, precisely.

[Ikki had a good head on her shoulders]

Then it's a plan! I'll definitely talk to grandpa...and...I'll talk to you later?

Anytime you want to talk, I am all ears.
