[raavashing]

Yeah. I still find it odd. I mean, I don't hold hands with people a lot, but it's not like that means someone is attracted to someone else. Kids hold hands with their parents all the time.

[braavado]

Parents and their kids don't look like they're around the same age, either.

People probably just jumped to conclusions because of that.

[raavashing]

But people who are attracted to each other, they don't really... do that. They walk close to each other, sure, but they don't touch like that. Not in public.

[Different era. Different sense of appropriate public touching.]

[braavado]

[Oh no, this conversation just took an awkward turn.]

Uh. Maybe it was like that...thousands of years ago. It's pretty normal for couples to hold hands like that, actually.

[raavashing]

[Yeah. Very awkward.]

...what other kinds of touching do they do in public?

[Because holding hands was family or friends thing. Not a lovers thing. So if that had changed, what other touches had changed?]

[braavado]

Don't ask me. I'm pretty new to the...relationship thing, and to Republic City.

Hugging and sometimes kissing seems to be okay, though.

[raavashing]

Do only lovers hug? Do family and friends still hug?

[Because they had hugged, too.]

[braavado]

Well, yeah! Friends and family still hug, too.

I guess it’s just more…normal for couples to show their affection now--why are we even talking about this?

[raavashing]

Because people thought we were attracted to each other when they saw us hug the day I arrived.

[Clueless answer before he realized she was asking to change the subject.]

But we can talk about it later if you don't want to now.

[braavado]

You're telling people we're related anyway. Maybe they'll just stop talking about it eventually.

[OR SO SHE HOPES.]

[raavashing]

I'm hoping that will end it. And it's easier to say I'm your grandfather than explain reincarnation to people over and over again.

[Especially when he didn't have time.]

...you can call me your grandfather, too. If you want to.

[braavado]

...maybe. Call me crazy, but I think I'll have more luck explaining the reincarnation thing.

Most of my friends already know Aang's here, so telling them one more's around isn't that hard to believe/

[raavashing]

I guess I'll just have to meet more of your friends.

[braavado]

Oh, don’t worry. I plan on introducing you to all of them eventually.

[She might be putting up a tough front, but she’s actually really happy he wants to meet them at all.]
