video; un: fiona

[Here's Fiona looking confused. This might easily be mistaken for Fiona looking annoyed, because she also kind of is that. She's connoyed. Annfused.

She holds up a glossy photo of a grinning skeleton wearing sunglasses, signed "Papyrus."]

Does anyone know what the hell this is? [Is this a weird prank. On the off chance it's not, though --] And also if it's. Supposed to be yours. Did anyone lose a... whatever this is?

[incredible. good thing he is not at all fazed by any of these comments.]

Nope! I'm from the Southern Air Temple. That makes me an Air Nomad. But I have a lot of good friends who are from the Fire Nation, like Zuko and Roku.

So how do you greet an Air Nomad?

Just like you greet everyone else: you wave and say hi.

[duh]

[Pursing her lips to hide a smile, she props her chin in her hand.]

Except a Fire National. They get 'flameo hotman.'

[just this innocent looking face as he nods.

don't question him!!!!]

[UH-HUH.] Well. If we ever get one on our team, now I'll know what to say.

Exactly.

[see, Aang is such a good friend.]

Oooh, maybe Zuko will show up one day. He's one of the best Fire Nation guys around. I mean, he did try and kill me a few times and his sister Azula's crazy but he's a good guy now.

[He did try and kill me a few times. Fiona makes kind of a face, but on the other hand, that's... normal behavior on Pandora, so. She's probably not as shocked as she should be.]

Sure. I've tried to kill all my closest friends. [She is phrasing this like a deadpan joke but she's 100% serious.]

[he's expecting something along the lines of 'good on that good guy Zuko' or maybe even 'he sounds like an interesting guy' so he completely doesn't even comprehend what she's said until a few words into his own reply.]

Yeah, that's—

[wait]

—Wait, really?

[Don't worry the child, Fiona???]

Umm. I should preface that with I don't have many friends.

Really? But you're so cool. You should have lots of friends.

[Distraction: successful.]

[Nice.] Well, that is true, I am pretty much the coolest. But! You know, that intimidates some people.

They're missing out then.

[Sucks to be them then.]

So are you gonna keep your picture of Papyrus?

Uh. Good question? [What does she need a picture of a rando skeleton spaghetti chef for...]

Do you want an extra...?

[because papyrus is gr8, obv]

Not really. But what if we gave it to someone in the castle? I bet there has to be someone around who would want one.

[Too bad there's no ALASTAIR Craigslist to get rid of unwanted headshots.] Suuure. I'll, uh. Ask around? [???]

I'll ask too! If I find anyone I'll make sure to tell you.

[Though, hmm, this raises another question:]

Do you think there's other people that don't want theirs either?

Why, do you think that would... hurt his feelings? Or...

Wouldn't you be hurt if people didn't want pictures of you?

[maybe she wouldn't, she seems very Tough]

Weeeeell, I wouldn't give pictures of myself to people I don't know. In the first place.

[This would make a lot more sense to Aang if he hadn't lived a life of fame since being born. Oh well.]

But what if you're famous? Then you get pictures of yourself given out to people even if they don't know you.

[Well, u know. She has had people hand out pictures of herself. Mugshots count.]

That's... a little different. Right? I wouldn't be offended in that case.

[That's basically the same thing.]

Well, what if Papyrus is famous where he comes from? Maybe that's what he's used to!
