Travelling on Appa...? [That is a phrase that makes no sense but she suspects she'll very much like the explanation.]

[watermarks]

Appa is Aang's sky bison. [ She smiles and looks at Katie. ] He's a bison but... think... about the width of an Earth elephant, but a little broader, and just about as tall. But with six legs, and really fluffy fur.

[hollystrike]

Oh goodness, I want one. Was it nice, warm fluffy fur you could hide in for warmth?

[watermarks]

Hmm... it wasn't really long enough to hide in, but it was warm and fluffy. Almost too much at times - when he was shedding, he left a trail that led straight to us. [ As always, she shares a little more than she would normally with Katie. ] But it was soft and warm.

[hollystrike]

[She doesn't ask about the trail. Thanks to Sokka, she's got a reasonable idea of what life must have been like back home for the two of them.]

I suppose he's too big that he'd ever appear in a place like this.

[watermarks]

I don't know... he followed Aang to Luceti. [ She shrugs a little. ] But I hope he doesn't. He'd be miserable in the ships. He doesn't like enclosed spaces.

[hollystrike]

[Oh. There is that.]

Do you know they shrink animals sometimes? Imagine if you got an Appa the size of a cat.

[watermarks]

...he would be so cute!

[ A little bit of a squeeing at that, but then forced to admit: ] And he'd probably do better at that size, since the ships wouldn't seem so small to him.

[hollystrike]

He'd find the cargo bay nice and huge. You'd just have to carry himsometimes instead.

[watermarks]

I bet he'd get on with Licorice. They'd have fun.

curse you html

[hollystrike]

[She laughs.]

Maybe he could take Licorice for rides. She's adventurous, they'd make a terrifying team.

/shakes fist at it

[watermarks]

[ She laughs a little. ] They probably would. They'd just need Momo to come along and make it a trio.

[hollystrike]

Ah, see now you have to explain who Momo is.

[watermarks]

Oh, Momo's a lemur. We found him at the Southern Air Temple.

[...] He's... kind of hard to describe.

[ HOW TO DESCRIBE A MOMO. ]

[hollystrike]

Sounds like the beginning of a joke. A lemur, a cat, and a flying bison all walk into a bar.

Or float, I suppose. That would turn some heads.

[Lemurs are cute though. She wants to meet all these animals you keep describing.]

[watermarks]

[ Dryly, amused: ] I'd like to know what they're doing in a bar in the first place. A drunk Appa is a terrifying thought. ...Momo's worse.

[hollystrike]

Lemurs do tend to get into everything that isn't nailed down. But you're right. Drunken flying buffalo sound like a nightmare to deal with. You wouldn't want him to start doing loop the loops just for fun.

[Not if you're on his back at the time.]

[watermarks]

Or crashing into things. [ A shudder at that thought, really. ] Or seeing giant friendly mushrooms.

[hollystrike]

Have you seen a lot of giant friendly mushrooms in your time?

[watermarks]

Nope, that was Sokka. [ She shakes her head. ] It was actually smoke as the result of an impact in the desert. It's a long story.

[hollystrike]

[She breaks into giggles.]

And here I thought he had no imagination. Drinking changes everything, I suppose.

[watermarks]

[ With an eye-roll. ] Especially cactus juice.

[ It was funny now. Not so fun then. ]

[hollystrike]

Is cactus juice a literal thing or just the name of a drink?

[watermarks]

Oh, it was a literal thing. [ She shakes her head. ] Sokka has a hard time not trying whatever random new thing he sees.

[hollystrike]

And yet he's so skeptical. What an odd combination.
