Into the world
The first moment, Aang was exhausted. Running around all day to help his sick friends and getting kidnapped and saved by his enemy (still an enemy?) had that kind of effect on a person. The moment he was done, he dropped down and flopped against Appa, nuzzling into his bison's fur.
No. No new friends.
In that moment, his eyes closed, ready to sleep off the mental and physical weariness.
And in the next moment, he was not comfortably up against Appa, but instead on cold ground.
...Uh?
Sitting upright sharply, alert, Aang looked around wildly. It was colder, but he warmed the air around himself with little effort. Chills couldn't bother him much.
But being in an abandoned street with obvious sign of no life? That tended to bother wee boys.
"Appa...?" Leaping to his feet, he was immediately more concerned. No sign of his friends. Especially since they were still sick. "Katara! Sokka!!" he called out desperately. "Momo?!"
Not good.
Grabbing a tight hold on his glider, he hurried to look in the area. Aang didn't know why there was a lack of birds, people, animals, anything -- but he had to find Katara and Sokka first. Then he could focus on Momo and Appa.
Then... well, something. But friends first.
