"We kind of are all in this together, aren't we?"
He ducks his head slightly and offers her a small smile.
12goingon113: (Unsure)

Aang returns to his task of weaving, though by this point he's all but done.

"What do you mean, that's the emperor's job?"
12goingon113: (Defense)

"Oh."

He lets this news sink in.

"I knew there was a war, but I didn't know the turtle was in danger," he adds thoughtfully. That changes things dramatically in his mind. Fighting a war for the sake of a war was one thing, fighting a war to protect something or someone was something different. Something entirely different.

"Maybe it's some kind of Spirit Oasis," he offers.
12goingon113: (Deflated)

"Maybe. But it's not like...I really know what I'm doing."

It was a painful thing to admit outloud.
12goingon113: (Shame)

He shifts uncomfortably under the weight of her questions.

"We've been in touch, but it's not like there was anyone there to really teach me what to do with that. Or how to control it. Usually...usually it just controlled me. I left Guru Pathik before I'd finished learning about the Avatar State, because....because Katara was in danger."
12goingon113: (Riiiight)

"I was training at the Eastern Air Temple when I felt that she was in trouble. When I got back to Ba Sing Se, we learned that Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai had snuck into the city pretending to be Kyoshi Warriors and that they had overthrown the Earth King and imprisoned Katara.

General Iroh and I had freed Katara and Zuko, but...Zuko turned on us. Then there was lightning..."

The rest she knows.
12goingon113: (Unsure)

His hands start to fidget with the necklace. It looks like he's still weaving, but...no progress is really being made. He's just focusing his attention on the fibers.

"The Avatar is supposed to do what's best for the world, and not what's best for themselves. I...I went to save Katara because I couldn't let go of my worldly attachment for her. becauseiloveher," he whispers that last bit. "By leaving before I finished clearing all my chakras, and learning how to control the Avatar State, I might have blocked it...permanently."

He takes a deep breath and swallows hard.

"At least that's what Guru Pathik said might happen. He is a spiritual brother to my people, and was waiting for me and Appa at the Eastern Air Temple."
12goingon113: (Ack)

He appears genuinely shocked as he slowly looks up to peer at Korra.

Aang wants to know how more than just about anything, but he doesn't ask. The emotional progression is apparent on his face. Until finally he finds some words to fill the silence.

"Good to know."
12goingon113: (Riiiight)

His own confusion abates as he watches her spectacular attempt to backpedal. It immediately reminded him off Sokka.

And maybe if he's honest with himself... That time he tried to lie to Bato.

"Oooookaaaaaay. Sure. I did't mean to keep you so long."
12goingon113: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] 12goingon113 2013-10-22 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Aang watches her stilted exit and just sort of blinks in confusion.

"I wonder if she's distantly related to Bumi..." he wonders aloud before returning to his craft project.
