[She's been staring into the empty crib beside her bed for a while now, and a chittering Momo comes to rest solemnly upon her shoulder. She sighs and rises, walking toward the desk for her journal.]

The Avatar--Aang--has left and returns home. [but a soft smile plays upon her features, and her tone softens] But he returns to a good fate.

[a pause]

I'm sorry to hear that, Princess Yue. Was he a friend of yours?

[themoonspirit]

Yes, from home. He helped save my people in their time of need. [drawing in a breath] But I know that when he returns home, he will be safe.

[save_the_souls]

Mm, that's good. That he'll be safe back home, I mean.

[themoonspirit]

Of course. Knowing that keeps me from being sad about his departure, though I will miss him. [a light laugh] Even if I did return while he was on a loss.

[sofaultless]

Good riddance.

[themoonspirit]

That's a bit tasteless and uncalled for, Azula, even if you don't agree with him.

[thirteenth]

I'm sorry, was he a friend of yours?

[themoonspirit]

He was, and a great hero for my people, as well.

[thirteenth]

Then perhaps it is a blessing he has returned to them.

[themoonspirit]

I believe it is, too. Even though he returns to peace, I know that there is still so much in store for him. [giggle] He's that type of kid.

[cricketycricket]

I'm glad that he goes home to safety ... I didn't spend very much time with him, but the few moments I did were good ones.

Thank you for telling us.

[themoonspirit]

And I'm glad to hear that he had plenty of friends here. It isn't hard to like someone as cheerful as Aang.

apologies for the slowtag!

[cricketycricket]

Not in the least. Did you meet him here, or are you both from the same world?

... I'm the Doctor, by the way.

no worries!

[themoonspirit]

We're both from the same world, actually. He came to my tribe to learn water-bending and saved my people from an attack.

I'm Yue. It's very nice to meet you, Doctor.

[universehatesme]

It's probably a good thing he's gone back...

Are you going to be okay?

[themoonspirit]

Yes, he has quite a destiny to return to.

[she draws in a breath] I'll be fine. Although there is someone here that I'm sure would love to see you. He'll need a lot of taking care of now that Aang isn't here to feed him, and I can't think of anyone better to help tend to him.

[universehatesme]

He does.

Someone to take care of...? Who is it?

[themoonspirit]

[She's grinning now]

Well. I hear you two go "way back"? At least, that's what you told me before we took him for a ride.
