"So…"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Hmph."
"You know what? I think you could make a living as a masked crusader."
"Hmph."
"I'm serious!"
"You're a real pain, Avatar."
"You know my name is Aang. Use it sometime."
"Tch."
"You're not very friendly, are you?"
"I spent the last few years searching for you, trying to bring you back to my father, my own SISTER is out hunting for my head to bring to a pike to dear daddy and you wonder why I'm not friendly?"
"Geez, don't get all upset. So what if we're trapped in here, under a cave because you had to make a scene in the middle of an Earth Kingdom village?"
"For your information, I didn't make a scene till YOU started it."
"Me? What'd I do?"
"Please, you did something. And it brought the whole place down on us!"
"…"
"… what?"
"Nothing. Just remembering the last time I was in a cave."
"Why?"
"Wolfbats. Big ones."
"…"
"You know, masked crusading sounds good. It'd be a chance to do some real good for people. Show them a Fire Nation national isn't, well, evil."
"Please."
"No serious. But you need a good disguise."
"What, peasant clothing isn't enough?"
"No, and that mask really makes you look like a rogue Water Tribe member. Let's see… how about red and green?"
"What do I LOOK LIKE, a BARD!"
"No, I mean red and green, maybe some black, a black cape, weapons, yeah, and a mask!"
"I have a mask."
"But not a stylish domino mask! I heard of those things when I was young. They conform to your face and move as you move…"
"… Aang, you're talking about a one hundred year old comic book published in Earth Kingdom. That book doesn't even EXIST anymore."
"Ah HA! You called me Aang!"
"What? No I didn't, it was a slip of the tongue!"
"You called me Aang! You called me Aang!"
"Shut it!"
