I haven't felt like this in a while. [ He sounds cheerful enough, though. ] You never know what this City is going to throw as us next and every day we're left wondering if the next day is going to be worse. [ His voice is clear and strong. ]I've only been here for a month, and honestly? I wonder how so many people can still be so strong after

There was a time when I wanted nothing more than to return home. But, by now… I have been here for over a year and the events I have been through and the people I have spent time with have definitely changed my point of view.

Now if I had a chance to return home, I really don’t know that I would take it.

Isn't there anything or anyone back home that you feel responsible for?

And what about your friends here? Wouldn't you rather have then all be safe back in their homelands. [ Safe is relative... but Aang figures most places can't be as bad as this city. ]

There is something I feel very responsible for…
[Two worlds that can only be saved by the sacrifice of one person. ]

But, I can’t do anything about it anymore. There is some one here that would do anything to prevent me from returning and I don’t want anything to happen to him.
I have to give that wish up.

[Still he does sound sad about it. The fate of all those people back at home does bother him a great deal. ]

However, I don’t see why anyone else who would like to leave the City shouldn’t be allowed to do so. If they could return, I would be very happy for them.

[ Aang nods still wearing a serious expression. ] I can understand that. I'm sure you've been here for a long time. [ At least he thinks can understand to a certain extent. ] I wouldn't want to try to persuade anyone who doesn't want to leave the city to leave either.

I realized after coming here that my knowledge of the universe is actually pretty small. [ Not what he originally thought. ] There are worlds that I could have never imagined. Worlds that are so different from my own planet. [ He is okay with this too. ]

You said you have to give up that wish, so that means that at one point you did want to go home, right? Did you ever come close to finding a way back. [ Aang's not judging him for wanting to stay for someone, he's just curious about what others may have tried. ]

[labchocobo]

That was well said.

Guess now we've just gotta convince the City, huh?

[voice]

[100yearsgone]

I'm just trying to find out how many people actually want to go home.

My friend Toph told me that some people prefer it here. [ And he wouldn't want to send them back to terrible homes, even if it is where they belong. ]

[voice]

[labchocobo]

Some people might not have much of a home to go back to.

[voice]

[100yearsgone]

I wouldn't ask people to leave if they wanted to stay. I've heard that time is different here and our homes aren't really affected by are time here, but I can't help what my instincts are telling me. I'm not just talking about the obvious dangers of living here either.

Have you been here long?

[shall_yield_us]

You might want metal or wood or something close to a spear in your hand, if you mean to speak words that reek of rebellion.

[100yearsgone]

Which part "reeks of rebellion"? [ He asks with an exaggerated arm movement. ]

I'm just trying to see if people who have been here long want to stay or go home.

It helps if you surround yourself with supportive and caring people.

[video]

[100yearsgone]

I know. If I hadn't come here, I would have never met you. But you want to go back to your home, don't you Charlie?

[video]

[char_he_mcgee]

That's a tough question to answer, Aang.

[video]

[100yearsgone]

Do you like it better here?

[seesbydoing]

Hey, I'm not just like you remember. I run a teashop now. [ teasing. ]

I think most people would go home if they could, Aang. It just gets frustrating waiting.

voice;

[100yearsgone]

I bet. Who wants to wait around for someone to send us back?

We could do something other than wait.

voice;

[seesbydoing]

You know, for a guy who's supposed to bring peace you're doing a pretty good job of riling everyone up.

I'm in.

voice;

[100yearsgone]

Riling people up isn't exactly what I was going for. I know I upset at least one person.

[ He smiles. ] But I'm glad I have your support. Maybe it'll take a while, but we'll find a way out of here. We have to.
