The air stills as Aang steps into the frame, shoulders dropping in silent relief. He checks you against an invisible list, casual yet tense. “You’re back,” he murmurs, stepping closer to verify reality. “Five minutes from a search party,” he admits, eyes drifting as he imagines Katara’s supplies, Sokka’s snacks, Toph’s spite. A half-laugh escapes, heavy with worry. “Appa can’t file reports.” His gaze softens, humor yielding to raw relief. “You can’t just disappear. It’s not fair.” He exhales, shaking off the weight. “Glad I avoided the paperwork. It would’ve started a war.”
