Well, I gotta say, despite all of the little disasters peppering around here, it ain't all bad.

If I got my timing right, 'bout this time of year, I'd have just missed the Harrowing. Don't reckon any of you really know what it is, but it's a little year time tradition where I'm from -- and I'm all too happy to miss out on it.

[He chuckles to himself:] Shame about Snow Day, though, I suppose.

In any case. Thinkin' about it, I was a little curious if any of you were missin' out on some... festivities back home? Or did you dodge a bullet?

Since we have such a colorful bunch here, didn't figure it hurt to ask.

Sunbathing? But all you do is lie around for hours.

Is that really what old people like to do?

[please never let him get that old]

[fateality]

It's what old people do so they don't go swimming or making sandcastles with little kids.

[twinkle_toes]

Blegh. Remind me never to take you to the beach with me.

[what an awful life. but also!!]

And I'm not a little kid. I'm over a hundred years old!

[fateality]

Fine by me, kiddo.

I'm not buyin' that for a flat second.

[twinkle_toes]

I am! [his cheeks flush red from protest] I spent a hundred years stuck in an iceberg before Katara and Sokka found me!

[fateality]

Okay, sure. I know a kid like that, too, but that doesn't mean you aged at all, now does it?

[twinkle_toes]

What's that supposed to mean?

[fateality]

That you're still a kid.

An' that ain't a bad thing, bein' one. Better than us old folk, right? Or do you wanna argue that you're a 100-somethin' old man?

[twinkle_toes]

[......dude's got a point. aang deflates.]

No, I'd rather still be a kid. You have to have responsibilities and stuff when you grow up.

[fateality]

Somethin' like that, yeah.

Don't be in a hurry to grow up, Aang. You keep doin' the sand castle thing.

[twinkle_toes]

[.....aw. maybe this guy isn't so bad after all.]

I won't. But I still think you should come build a sand castle with me one day.

[fateality]

I'll think about it, and make an effort to not put on my best clothes for the day. If I say yes.
