You mean they make fun of people, too?

[markofthewise]

Meaner than that, really. [Still staring up.] Do you have your glider with you?

[savedtheworld]

Yeah! [He twirls his staff around and was totally holding it this whole time okay, forgetting the gossip for the moment.]

Think we should try some gliding?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, it's our best bet to get our bearings. Fortunately thanks to our diminished weight, airbending should be a lot easier for you to manage too.

[If he was right, Aang would be able to carry them indefinitely if it came to that.]

[savedtheworld]

Good idea. Let's see if my airbending goes along with your science!

[The staff is flipped into glider form and he holds out an arm.]

Uh... grab on!

[markofthewise]

Just don't drop me.

[He took Aang's hand. This was absolutely his least favorite way to fly.]

[savedtheworld]

Of course not. It hasn't been that long since I've glided with someone. Alright, time for take-off.

[And so, once Sokka's securely holding on, Aang has the glider take off. Sokka might have been right. It felt a lot... easier to lift them. It was fun. Aang brought them closer to the tree to skim alongside it, giving a small laugh at this feeling of freedom.]

[markofthewise]

[Okay, okay. Don't freak. Don't freak. Stay calm. Stay calm.

When they get close to the top...]

Land up there!

[savedtheworld]

Right there? Hold on, let's do a cool trick first!

[He swerves to the side and begins flying in the opposite direction, then suddenly reverses to bring them back towards landing at the top of the tree.]

See, it's like we're a boomerang!

[markofthewise]

AANG!

[WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. THEY DON'T NEED TO DIE.]

[savedtheworld]

Isn't this fun?!

[He shouts as he swoops into the landing, slowing the glider so that they land neatly on their feet.]

[markofthewise]

No! That was not fun!

[Sokka clings to the branch. Glares for a moment. Then climbs a little higher to look around.]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang flips the glider back into staff form and walks along the branch.]

Really? I was having the time of my life. Either way, here we are!

[markofthewise]

Yeah. And here? Not even close the village.

[He can't even SEE the village and they have a pretty decent view up here.]

And there's no doors either.

[savedtheworld]

We could try to just keep flying in one direction and see what happens.

[markofthewise]

Well, judging from the sun's position, we need to go northeast. But I'm not sure it can be trusted with all the... stars.

[Stars with the sun. It throws everything off.]

[savedtheworld]

[He looks up with Sokka. Those are stars up there with the sun alright.]

At least they're pretty. But either way, that direction's our best bet, right?

[He glances in a direction that feels mortheasty.]

[markofthewise]

Yes. But I'm trying really, really hard to think of alternatives. That's going to take you forever to fly us that far.

[savedtheworld]

You're right, fun as that would be... but what if I call Appa?

[markofthewise]

Your whistle may not be loud enough at this size. [But it can't hurt to try. Still. He's thinking.] We just need to find a door, though. What if we... made one?

[savedtheworld]

But how? There's no such thing as woodbending, and it wouldn't count as a door if I just burned a hole.

1/2

[markofthewise]

[If only he had his alchemy notes right now. He and Ed were actually working on just that, in preparation for some logging.]

Well, maybe you could earthbend one? Then we could-

[And then the tree suddenly boomed out: “I heard that Lowell guy has a thing for cat ears. He can't even look directly at someone wearing them without zoning out!"]

[markofthewise]

GAH!

[Sokka is so freaked out that he stumbles, loses his step, and now he's falling. This isn't going to end well.]

[savedtheworld]

[What's so bad about cat ears?

After that split second, Aang is immediately diving from the tree branch and flipping the staff back into glider form as he falls. He then swoops down to catch Sokka and continues flying in any old direction.]

Use your eyes, Sokka, and point out the first door you see!

[markofthewise]

Gaaaaah--- whoa!

{Sokka is just going to be shaken up for a moment. What. What. What?

Oh. Doors. Doors.]

Wait! There! That oak tree down there!

[It's not a human door, but it's a opening in a tree. Maybe that will count.]
