Hello! Thank you for socking with me and reading this story-like thing! This is the second chapter and is Tenzin, someone suggested it (you are a guest so I can't really say who you are but you know who you are!) and here it is! This one is kinda short, but you're gonna have to DEAL WITH IT. It certainly is not my best writing because Tenzin is not one of my favorite characters, yes he is very cool, just not as cool as Lin Bei Fong. I had to stretch a lot of stuff and was pretty repetitive but I promise I will do better! I didn't really read this through so if you see any errors please do tell me!

I don't know who is reading this but pretty please R&R! I need some more inspiration people! And also follow or fav, I like those too!

Disclaimer: I do not own LoK or any of it characters or we would have seen Lin's father by now.

Warning: boringness ahead, proceed with caution

Tenzin: Patience

People always said Tenzin was serious since the day he was born. He was always meant to be a monk. It was who he was. It was part of him, from his constant sighs and dry sense of humor. Tenzin could tolerate Ikki and Meelo on any day, all day. Most could barely last a minute. Tenzin could withstand constant jokes from his siblings about his bald head, or his robes, or his tattoos, or basically his anything.

Bumi loved to poke ( literally) fun at Tenzin's robes and the Kya would joke about his hairdo, or rather, lack there of. He would grumble a bit but never lose his temper. His sibling were very near and dear to his heart, he could never stay angry act them. But when got to too much he made then stop. He either called them off on it or their mother did. All of them could agree, no one liked an angry Katara. No one.

Bumi had his own little way of getting to Tenzin, he was childish and very immature. Tenzin always kept in mind that he was also once one of the best United Nation Commanders they had to offer, so he must have some sense if control, maybe. Bumi loved to playfully flirt with his young wife, and Tenzin never really got mad at him, and Pema had too big of a heart to know what was really going on. He knew they did it just to get to him, to test his patience, and they were often disappointed.

Kya personally like to tease Tenzin about more personal matters, especially if Lin AND Pema were present, if That ever happened, Tenzin's only thoughts were: get out, get out, get out, GET OUT. Those three to together, with the kids in bed already, was a recipe for trouble. If they were in the same room and he said something that could be transferred into sexual innuendo, he was simply asking for it. He often ended up "asking for it" without really wanting it. Tenzin would grumble a bit more kiss his wife on the head and then leave before he airbended someone right off the island.

Tenzin very rarely, if ever, lost his patience. He could be stern, he knew when enough was enough, but he barely ever angry. Many often got confused with Tenzin's "red head" look with his "I'm going to seriously hurt you" (he can't say kill, though, there are some he wouldn't mind shutting up. Permanently that is.)look. Tenzin often had his "red head" look whenever there was a debate with the council. He always was in the minority, apparently, Tarrlok was a very good sweet talker. Tenzin really, really hated Tarrlok.

Tenzin had the astounding ability of patience, he could sit for a full four hours of meditation without breaking a sweat, (admittedly, after about eight hours, he started to get restless.) Fast for three days? No problem. Tenzin's amount of restraint was legendary, he was calm, cool and collected, most of the time. However every one has their weakness and he had a big one. And at this point you could say he now had TWO big problems: Lin and Korra. If looks could kill, he would have been dead millions of times over from those two.

He had no patience for Korra's foolishness, her constant babbling about pro bending made him sick to his stomach, thank the spirits air was not including in that obnoxious sport. She was loud and rambunctious and he was quite sure she was incapable of meditating. However, anyone would have to admit, no one was more patient with Korra, than Tenzin. He didn't mind showing her the air bending moves and stances over and over again. While most teachers would get frustrated when she said " I think I need another demonstration" for the third time, he would simply comply. Though, he had to admit, saying "be the leaf" was not one of his most shining moments, but he still waited for her to understand, and then, she did.

Lin, on the other hand was very different. Tenzin lost his patience with her for a very different reason than that of the others. After the battle with Amon, and then Unalaq, they had regained some sort of friendship. And now she could use ALL the blackmail she wanted. It was no secret, Tenzin and Lin had been inseparable since the day they were born. Of course, this resulted in many laughs at his expense, Lin was careful, she didn't overstep boundaries but made sure to tease just as much as the others. She also was stubborn. If possible, she was worse than her mother. Whenever he invited her to dinner it was always : " No, I have work" or something along those lines. It drove him wild. He hated seeing her alone, it really tested his patience, ideally, his patience won out, which was the common result. But sometimes, she won, and that made him lose his patience. So then they "brawled" or kinda did. He ending up stuck in he dirt while she drank some tea. It wasn't pretty.

Over all, Tenzin nearly never lost his patience, only a few choice candidates made him REALLY lose it. He didn't mind, never took things personally, he had no worldly items, and certainly no hair, but he was proud of that, he was proud of who he was. No amount of teasing or testing could change that.
