[Things have been difficult for him lately and he's been avoiding "certain people" with a vengeance, but there is always one thing that he knows can cheer him up.

Souji opens his journal one day and with as bright and cheerful a voice as he can muster (which is kind of like rainbows barfing sunshine) he says:]

So who here is being a grumpy grump after the holidays? I know you're out there~

I've heard of at least two: the one with the spiky hair who hates being asked about it and the one with the skirt who hates it being called a skirt.

There have to be more, aren't there? [He degrades into what sounds like baby talk.] So who's being a grumpy-wumpy bear, hm?

And the other grumpy bears in the village - and the sad ones. Who wouldn't want a flowery bow?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

I don't know who! Ev... everyone should get them and feel better from it!

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

We can put it on your robes, I bet. It'd be nice - like a pin.

Or is there something else that is bothering you, Aang-kun?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Wha - what do you mean? Nothing... no, I just really like the idea of these bows making everyone happy again! It'll... be great!

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[You are a horrible liar, Aang.]

Oh, I don't know, it just seems like something is wrong. Is the quiet getting to you?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Quiet? It's...

[Where was Sokka's shouting and Zuko's grumping? Rapunzel's singing, Korra's training yells? Winry's tinkering?]

very quiet.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

It gets to me at times, too. I know it isn't easy to deal with, but if you need someone to listen or talk to, you know where I am.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Thank you, Souji. You're very kind. I don't know what to say, but... I'm glad for the offer.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

Sometimes you don't need to say anything. If you'd ever like some tea and just company, I'd be glad to offer it.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

I... Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

You always know where to find me, Aang-kun, and my door is always open to you.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Thank you, Souji. And... I have the same offer for you.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

Thank you, Aang-kun. Perhaps sometime soon I'll stop by.
