Isn't Christmas over a month away? Why is everyone talking about it already?

It's all over Earth, too. I never bothered to ask last year; is it a national or a worldwide holiday?

Exactly. They're already setting up the displays here in the city. Seems like it happens earlier and earlier every year.

Which city?

New York.

Right; that's the one that has a province named after it as well, isn't it? I've heard of it, but I've never been there.

Exactly. Wonderful city. Shame it's overrun with tourists during this time of year.

Tourists are irritating. I'm glad I don't have to deal with them much at home.

You don't? You're lucky, then. Where do you live?

The Fire Nation; I'm its leader. But I also spend a lot of time on Earth, in New Jersey.

We have tourists that come to our capital, of course, but they obviously don't come into the palace.

New Jersey? Really? Somehow I'm not sure I can imagine the leader of an entire Nation in New Jersey.

I live in one of the most tourist-heavy areas of the city. They're hard to ignore.

Why not?

So move.

It's New Jersey. I'm not sure they have much more besides a whole lot of respectable history and Bruce Springsteen.

I've been considering it. I don't think I can bring myself to do it.

They have plenty of things.

Why? Is it sentimental?

I should probably visit before I make assumptions.

It's my home.

Yes, you should.

But if you don't like it...?

It's still my home and it took me in when I needed it. The good outweighs the bad.
Would you leave your country after everything it's offered you?

Of course not. I didn't suggest you desert your entire country. Can't you just move house?

Nope.

Why not?

I painted in the floor.
My landlord would kill me if he knew.

Well, that was stupid, wasn't it.

Not really. It was for a good cause.

A painting?

That's what we've been talking about, yes.

It's just a painting. How could it be for a good cause?

Not one for fine art, I take it? My paintings are a little different.
