[Voice]
Hello? I'd like to personally speak with all the friends and "guardians" of Elicia Hughes. It's very important, and I would rather speak in person. Meet me on the bridge passed houses thirty one and thirty three.

Everyone else? What are your favorite dinner recipes? I need to spice up my cooking, and sometimes cookbooks just won't do it.

[And those who will come to meet her shall see her standing in the middle of the bridge looking over the side. She's not alone, though. Not too far off will be one alchemist around to make sure everything is okay.

Some of Elicia's "friends" put her in danger, so now I have to screen all of them.

... some friends. What exactly did they do?

Some guy named Clint shot another one named Loki. Apparently they had a fight from back home.

... Loki? Great. That's the guy Ikki has been talking to.

Seems like this guy has it out for little girls, huh?

[That's unsettling. Sure most of Elicia's friends were adults, some of them male, but they usually didn't have a history of brainwashing.]

Yes. How incredibly creepy of him.

[We need a neighborhood watch all up in here.]

I heard about the talk Aang and Katara had with Ikki. What do you think?

I know they were thinking they were doing what was best for Ikki. And I didn't disagree at the time. But now I'm thinking we should've just told her no.

With how they're growing up... they need to make their own decisions. If they don't learn that, and we just tell them no? They're great kids, but they might rebel. It's... always a possibility.

... I dunno, they're seven.

[He's not sure how valuable this lesson is. But he's pretty strict with kids as it is.]

And this place could be crawling with people just like that Loki guy next cycle. They both need to learn that not everyone who acts nice is actually like that on their own. How will they be able to do it themselves if we keep doing it for them?

I'm really hoping they won't be here long enough to be old enough for that.

Who knows? We've both stopped counting our stay in months, and moved to years.

Yeah. But. [A sigh. He recalls that grown up version of Elicia.] They shouldn't have to grow up here like we did.

That's not our choice, but I really hope they go home before anything too bad happens to them.

Yeah... [Like losing both your parents? Your sister and father?]

How long has Elicia been here now?

She's almost a year less than me... so about two.

Two. Wow. I guess I didn't realize it had been that long.

Time flies when you're focused on other things.

Survival, war, experiments... who you end up making out with.

[Ha.]

W-well that last one isn't-

[She was going to say "that important" but she cuts herself off. That's actually been a big thing in her life lately and she's not sure how to feel about that. Sure she's with Ed, but it's slow going, she's not sure if she's still shaky with Haruhi- and the last experiment. Ugh.]

... new? It does happen a lot. I know.

[So much that they hadn't even talked about it, had they? She just have the necklace back and that had been that.]

[Yeaaaaah.]

Look, Sokka I- [sigh] I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. Though. It's kind of weird thinking about it, isn't it? I mean. It's not like we were forced that time. We just didn't remember anything.

Well yeah, I mean you're a good kisser and any girl would be lucky to date yo-
