[For anyone who knows Ion well enough to be considered a friend, or perhaps just well enough to say you've had a conversation with him at some point in the past, you just might catch a filter at some point during the day. It's a small, weak, empty filter and it'll disappear only a few minutes after it's made, so chances are you might miss it. But

Comments

[markofthewise]

... that does, generally, seem to be the case.

[Spoken by someone who learned this when he had to keep updating the villain filter when baddies went bye bye.]

[soreplaceable]

Mm. I figured as much, but thought it best to make sure...

[markofthewise]

Lost a friend, huh?

[soreplaceable]

Yes. But I'm sure it's better for him to be home now. I know he had been here a long time, after all.

[markofthewise]

Yeah... lucky him, I guess. Uh, lucky who?

[soreplaceable]

Simon. He's Kamina's younger brother. [Who was someone else he hadn't heard from... maybe they were sent home together?]

[markofthewise]

Simon... Simon... yeah, don't think I met him.

[soreplaceable]

That's a shame... [A small smile.] He was really nice. I met him through Anise not long after I first arrived in Luceti.

[markofthewise]

Anise? [Think think think.] She might have mentioned his name once. Or maybe your name. There was a guy. She mentioned him a lot. I got a sort of, you know, boyfriend-ish type vibe there.

[Alas, if only he had been paying attention.]

[soreplaceable]

[Ion... doesn't know what to do with that "boyfriend-ish" comment right now, so he'll just focus on something else.]

You and Anise were friends?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I guess you could say that. The Malnosso dropped her off in the snow so I, you know, took her home. We hung out after that. I mean, we were neighbors at the time. That helped.

[And they had lots of interesting experiences he won't get into.]

[soreplaceable]

[Sokka, Ion's opinion of you just skyrocketed.]

She told me before about the time she was left in the snow, but I didn't know you were the one who saved her. That was very kind of you, Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[And he wasn't even trying!]

Well, it's not that big of a deal. I just found her first. Anyone who spotted a girl dozing off in the snow would have done the same thing.

[soreplaceable]

That may be true, but you were the one who saved her. [Smile.] I'm grateful she had friends she could depend on while she was here.

[markofthewise]

... right. [Still doesn't think it's a big deal, but okay.]

I still kind of miss her, though.

[soreplaceable]

...I miss her, too. But it's better for her to be home instead of here.

[Even if it meant never seeing her again.]
