I did it. I succeeded in my mission. I don't care that I'm stuck in bed, or with a cast on my leg. It'll heal eventually, as it always does.

This is the best mood I've been in for some time, and I don't think anyone could knock me out of it if they tried. I have a feeling I'll end up bored and in need of something to do, so I suppose I'll take suggestions-- but for now, at least, even lying around doesn't feel dull.

What's the best way to cut through strong metal without damaging it? I gave away some of my old armor a while ago, but apparently it needs wing holes now, and I'd hate to see it ruined. I'm rather attached to it.

{LOCKED TO LILITH}

I told you I could. And this is just the beginning.

You don't need to worry; I'm strong enough for all of this.

[ like he has to check ] ...No you don't. Why would you need wing holes in the armor?

I could do it for you if you'd like. Toph taught me how to metalbend.

You would probably destroy it.

I wouldn't!

I don't have an endless number of old uniforms to give away, you know. This one was my only one.

I'd take good care of it.

Right.

Really! I'm completely trustworthy when it comes to other people's belongings.

Even when those belongings used to belong to me? I doubt it.

Even when they belong to you. I really wouldn't do anything. That would just upset you.

Belonged. It's not really mine anymore.

Belonged. Oh see--! Then I have even less of a reason to destroy it if you're going by that reasoning. I'd be completely respectful of it.

I still wouldn't risk it.

[ facepalm ]

Okay. Nevermind. I'm sure someone else can do it for you.

Why do you want to do it so much yourself?

I was trying to be nice.

It's not niceness if you have an agenda. You want me to trust you, for whatever reason.

Can't I just be nice?

Are you jealous that you don't have a Fire Nation uniform, Avatar?

...What? No. Why would I be jealous of that?

I like the older uniforms better anyway. The new ones lose the traditional vibe.

I was being flippant.

There's nothing wrong with our modern uniforms.

Oh.

I didn't say there was. But you had that lighter red color with that design with the dragon. Kuzon and I tried on his dad's once and it was pretty comfy

.... I guess I'm thinking pretty far back though that was before the redesign with the points and the faceplates and actual... war use. [ beat ] ...which is still pretty far back to you, I guess.

The modern ones are pretty?

They're not supposed to be pretty.

No no I know that. They're functional...! And meant to be scary.

Exactly. I think they do their job well.

Yeah. ...I still like the old ones better. Those had style.
