the avatar state / implies emotional pain / or perfect control

[roc_on]

Jun did a show last night, so maybe he's holding it together well enough to do a lesson today. It'd sure help take Beila's mind off things; maybe it'd do the same for him. She can always fly away again if he's not feeling it.

Knock knock?

"Also it would be a structural nightmare. Like, the planet turns! The forces involved in that would probably be pretty significant at a pole-to-pole bridge level."

[fiery_delights]

"That too. But I also wouldn't expect you to let practical challenges stand in your way if you really wanted a bridge between the poles for some reason."

[roc_on]

"True. But it might take more than mastering the Avatar State."

[fiery_delights]

"It might! Even the combined knowledge of all past Avatars can only get you, well, the combined knowledge of all past Avatars, and I've noticed there doesn't seem to be a bridge between the poles. So even if somebody did build one, I'd hardly call it a successful project."

[roc_on]

"Exactly."

[fiery_delights]

He grins.

Yes, the walk is definitely helping.

[roc_on]

Stroll, stroll. Perpetual helpful breeze so she doesn't fall down. Stroll.

[fiery_delights]

And: "That looks like ice cream to me!"

[roc_on]

"It does! Wonder if they have red bean."

[fiery_delights]

"Let's find out!"

They do have red bean. They also have many other flavours, of which Jun tries the three most excitingly-named ones.

[roc_on]

Beila gets some red bean. And some chocolate sauce to put on it.

[fiery_delights]

Jun eyes the chocolate sauce and other miscellaneous adornments speculatively, but restrains himself to just a few fruit syrups.

[roc_on]

Nom.

[fiery_delights]

Jun enjoys his ice cream immensely.

"Yeah, this was a good plan. Thanks for inspiring it."

[roc_on]

"You're welcome."

[fiery_delights]

Nom!

[roc_on]

"Do you wanna keep strolling into further unfamiliar parts of town?"

[fiery_delights]

"Sounds like fun."

[roc_on]

"Sure."

Stroll. Nom. Stroll, nom.

[fiery_delights]

Stroll stroll nom nom. All in all, this is much more pleasant than failing to deliver a firebending lesson.

[roc_on]

Yup.

Beila refreezes a melted bit of her ice cream and gestures inquiringly at his.

[fiery_delights]

"Oh, no thanks."

[roc_on]

"Ice cream soup for you it is."

[fiery_delights]

"The best kind of soup, obviously."

[roc_on]

"I'm a fan of miso, personally, but to each their own."
