[She's gotten to know the sights, know some of the people, and gone through her own experience of events that happen around this place...and now, she feels like it's time for a vacation.]

Why, hello Luceti! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Yuuna, Yuuna Sugasawa. I'm planning on a little trip with a friend, so I wanted to ask what you guys like to do when you go out camping or hiking? We've got a couple ideas, but I'm looking to see if anyone else had good suggestions. We'll be going out for a few days, and seeing the sights- oh, and if any of you have any advice while we're out, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Action

[Yuuna's going to be in and out of the clothing shop, getting boots and other hiking things she'll need, the grocery store picking up some food, stopping by the convenience store to get any other miscellaneous items, and finally back to House 44 where she'll be cooking, packing, and playing with Keiko, the shiba inu/pug mix who is as they say, a stately old maid.]

Oh? Did you end up traveling a lot? I've never had to live off the land personally, so I'd imagine it's not easy all the time. [They always bring a ton of food with them after all.]

I've traveled for most of my life. First with my people, and then with my friends. [First as part of his culture, and then because he was caught in the middle of a war.] It isn't easy all the time - but it's not as hard as it seems, either. It's the natural way to live, after all. With nature.

I wouldn't know much about that. The closest I ever got to that is harvesting rice when I was a kid. Which wasn't so bad, I mean, but other than that I've always lived in a metropolitan area since I moved out.

Do you miss it? You know, being able to go out and see the world? It's not like this place really lets you do much anyway, so I can see after a while people getting a little...bored.

I definitely do. [He nods soberly.] I miss it a lot and Appa does, too. I'm so used to traveling around and always seeing new sights. But... at least I have my friends here. So... I can't stay bored, or unhappy. Not when they're here.

[Friends. Yeah, that's true. The concept rings with her even as he begins to talk about it.]

You've got a good point. I'm pretty happy too that Saori is here, if she hadn't I'd be a lot more lonely. Making friends is fun, but at the same time having those from home makes this a little more bearable.

That's right. But... Hey! You know Saori?

I do! She's my...companion of sorts. We're from the same world, so I already had a friend when I arrived. [Nevermind she arrived right in Saori's bed.]

I guess you do too if you're asking! How did the two of you meet?

I'm really glad to hear that! Having a friend around from your own world can be really helpful, and I'm happy that Saori has someone.

As for how we met? Luceti made it so I walked into her house through her ceiling. It was an interesting time!

Woah. You walked through the ceiling? [She might not be interpreting that exactly the way Aang means it.]

K-kind of. It was because a shift was making doors go anywhere...

[That sounded trippy. Doors leading to anywhere...]

That sounds like it's straight out of Alice in Wonderland. [Or Harry Potter.]

Is that a friend of yours?

What? Oh no, it's a children's story from my world. [No need to mention that it's actually a rather dark story...]

This little girl end up in this fantastic world with a talking rabbit and a nutty man who loves his tea and an evil queen. [She laughs.] It's a strange story, Aang.

It sounds like a lovely story! I wonder if they have it at the library.

They probably do, I'd be surprised if they didn't. It's a pretty well known story where I'm from. You might like it, but you'd have to read it. There's a movie of it too if you'd rather watch it.

That's okay. I really love reading! Especially because Jinora loved reading. I'm gonna look extra hard for it at the library!

Good! Not a lot of younger folk really like to read much where I'm from, at least anymore. And who's Jinora? Are they here?

She's my granddaughter. The... first one who's gonna be born. She's clever and very nice. She's... not here, anymore. [And Aang doesn't know if he'll ever get to see her again.]

That's wonderful news, Aang. That you'll have a granddaughter some day. Though I'm sorry you don't get to see her anymore, but cheer up! That's probably for the best she isn't here anymore, so she can live peacefully back at home.

[She's not sure if Jinora going back home really is better, considering she has no idea what life is like back in Aang's world at her time. But best to look at the positive side.]

I know. [He says with a slight smile.] I had to accept it already. [And during that brief time Ikki had gone home.] She's with her mommy and dadd again, where she belongs.

And that's really all we can hope for. I'm glad you're taking that well. It's just so important we keep our loved ones safe.

[Which calls back some bad memories of her own. Things she'd rather forget about and consider a fluke that will never happen again.]

Thank you. It is very important - especially in a place like this. It's the most important. I'm glad Saori has a friend like you around here.
