Part 3. New character appears and helps Iroh out!

Conversation 3. Sulky one.

- Kid, are you gonna sit here and sulk all by yourself?

- Bumi?

- Right, the mask. Why aren't you wearing any? Oo-kay, don't tell me. Here, let's have a drink.

- Thanks.

- Cheers. So, having fun, are we?

- Are we?

- Heh. You know how many Avatar Days I've witnessed? Thinking 'bout it, I've probably worn all the masks existing. Still, it's as thrilling as ever. Here, another drink.. You can tell my favourite is Kyoshi.

- It becomes you.

- Don't press it, kid. Anyways, to why. That woman was one of a kind. That temper of hers. Mmpf. I wish a was born a coupla hundreds years earlier..

- You wouldn't stand a chance.

- Being an arrogant charmer as I am? Huh, you're kidding, right?

- Aang was pretty scared of her attitude.

- Well, my dad was pretty scared of any woman except my mom. Must be the monk's thing..

- Hm.

- Thank Agni, we're not the monks!

- Hm.

- No comment, huh? Oh look, that's miss Sato over there. I wonder if she's heading our way.. Hey, kid, where are you going?

- I… just. I'm not in the mood.

- Don't dishonor me, kid. Ah, miss Sato! Hello, Sunshine.

- Commander Bumi, nice to see you! General.

- Good evening.

- 'Good evening' my ass..

- Bumi!

- I'm sorry for this kid over here. He's obviously 'not in the mood'. I must say, you look fabulous, Sunshine, as always. Is it your company's logo?

- Thank you, it is. The show starts in fifteen minutes, by the way. Just a reminder. You might wanna join the others on the roof for the better view.

- A beauty and a pilot! My, oh my! We're looking forward to it! Are we, kid?

- Yes.

- Okay then, see you two!

- See ya!. Well, it seems I don't have a chance with our miss Sunshine..

- What are you talking about?

- Those goo-goo eyes she made at you..

- I've had enough of it!

- Sit down and have another drink. And listen carefully, kid. There are many amazing women around, there were and always will be. Trust me, I know. It's only natural to be carried away once in a while. But after that.. What matters? What really matters, is the one in your thoughts, not in your sight.

- Bumi..

- Don't look so surprised. You know I'm a wise dude. So, who's in your thoughts? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. She's on the roof with that firebender. Another drink before you go and get her.

- Bumi..

- Move it. Last I checked, she looked as miserable as you do now. Youngsters these days, eh.

- Thank you, Bumi!

- Don't mention it, kid.

A/N: I'm really anxious about the whole Bumi-Iroh interaction. I hope you could read between the lines. Bumi's obviously a ladies' man, but he has a certain someone in his thoughts... Probably, Iroh's mother? Iroh might feel attraction towards a fabulous someone and might feel guilty about it. Thank Agni there's Bumi to clear everything up.

I adore Asami Sato, btw. That's why she's leading the air-show for the Avatar Day. Little more technology, little less bending, ya know?

R&R are always appreciated :)
