Um. I- huh.

[For at least a minute, there is silence. Well. Sort of. Pabu the fire ferret supplies a few perplexed chirps to break up the monotony!]

So, I was thinking- [ANOTHER CHIRP, and this one actually sounds surprised] - Pabu, come on! I think! I am a deep thinker!

…Okay, fine, maybe my brain is not an ocean. Maybe it’s a lake. A deep lake. But honestly, who wants a mind full of saltwater, anyway????? Do you know how dehydra- wow. I’m not going to ride that train to the last stop. Anyway, I was thinking- [There’s a brief pause in which one could imagine he’s giving his fire ferret the old stink eye, because…that is what he is doing.] -that we might’ve gotten lost. Slightly. Slightly lost. [He sighs, and there’s a rustling sound as he shoves his hands in his pockets.] Wait.

[More rustling, more chirps, and then a very loud exclamation, followed by-.] Communicator…thing! And BUTTONS. Pabu! Buttons! [Mashing a few- OH HEY. it’s Bolin’s face, up close and personal. He points excitedly at the camera, and then looks over at Pabu, perched in his customary spot on Bolin’s shoulder. The human of the duo feels the need to rinse and repeat a couple times. He gets it out of his system eventually, and faces the camera again.]

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo, City!

Words I love to hear. [oh hey, there's pabu sticking his face in front of bolin's and sniffing the screen] Yes, okay, go ahead and flirt, you little attention-stealer. [speaking around a fire ferret is so fun] Anyway, life is good- I can't complain, you know? I mean, I'm sure I'll find things to gripe about later but for now? Smooth sailing, my lovely blonde friend. And with that out of the way, give me the dish on you!

[tangledintower]

Pabu!!
[She grins, waving at the screen.] Pascal's gonna be pleased to see you again!

Well...The Jasmine Dragon is sort of...destroyed. We've had a bunch of accidents and curses that have been sort of rough to the place...but other than that, things have been really good! Better now that you're here again, too!

[zipperbent]

[blink, blink. he's heard bits and pieces and saw video of seriously messed up buildings by this point, so. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING APPARENTLY.]

Your ability to take the good over the bad is admirable, Rapunzel. [said with his hand over his heart!!!!] I feel kind of inadequate in comparison, even though you flattered the heck out of me just now.

[tangledintower]

[She laughs and grins at him.] Thanks, Bolin. I think you need to have a positive attitude to get through this place without going completely nuts, you know?

Well, I missed you! The City wasn't the same without you and Pabu here!

[zipperbent]

Boy, do I ever! Sorta. Look, I've got a lot of remembering to do.

[adlfjakfjasfl beaming!] ...And a lot of partying, too, apparently. Once we get all of this nonsense with the deities squared away, we will party until we drop.

[tangledintower]

You remember more than a lot of returnees do. Don't worry, you're doing fine.

[Oooh, this is an excellent idea!] That's a great idea, Bolin!

[zipperbent]

Just call me the great idea machine.

[tangledintower]

[She just laughs and grins, nodding.]

And how is Pabu doing? Pascal won't admit it, but I think he missed him.
