"...okay, yeah."

"You don't look completely convinced."

"I'm not not convinced."

"You sound kinda not-convinced."

"You're very convincing. I think maybe I just... don't know what being convinced would be like."

"What is it like to - feel like whoever has your soul next will automatically be doing a better job with it? I mean, I would instantly press a button that made me immortal, stopped the entire Avatar Cycle right here, I would not feel a moment's conflict over it, if I talk to Random Waterbender Boy assuming I fail at producing such a button in my lifetime I'm probably going to mostly want to say 'give me my soul back, jerk'.

Permalink

He shakes his head. "I don't think it works that way."

Permalink

"Because it doesn't?"

Permalink

"I am enlightened."

Permalink

He snorts.

Permalink

"Not liking yourself sounds really uncomfortable."

Permalink

"It is."

Beila squeezes his hand again. "I like you," she offers.

Permalink

"I like you too!"
