[ backdated to the 2nd and filtered from Diamond, of course! two rather tired and beat-up looking kids appear on video, looking exhausted and worried but also determined. this was an important mission, much more so than the draft was! the girl with a beanie glances over at her blond companion, before inclining her head in a ladylike bow. ]

I have a favor to ask of whomever is watching. My name is Platina Berlitz and this is Pearl, and... a friend of ours has been injured in the draft. He's in recovery, but his birthday is also in two days.

We were thinking about throwing him a party to help him cheer up. [and give themselves some rest, whoo boy] There'd be a lot of food, of course, since Dia's a big eater all on his own.

[...free food is good incitement right??]

Any aid with this would be appreciated! E-especially with the food. He's usually the one cooking for us, not the other way around...



[ blue is Platina and orange is Pearl @ willpowered! we'll be replying separately o7 ]

I see. You guys... you're not used to that kind of fighting, are you? I was really sad when I saw your names on the draft list. I'm still relieved that you're safe now.

[But he chuckles a little.] Pies, huh? You can count on that, then! They're kind of my people's specialty.

[acuity]

I'm relieved, too. If we ever get signed up again, it'd be too soon.

A specialty, really? I wouldn't have thought you were the baking type!

[savedtheworld]

I hope you never get signed up again. You... you shouldn't have to see war.

Heh! Well us benders, we're full of surprises! I'm still learning a lot about kitchen things, but I picked up a lot about fruit pies and stuff from my people!

[acuity]

... Thank you.

But fruit pies definitely sound like something Diamond would enjoy. I could try to help you with it, too!

[savedtheworld]

You're welcome. And... if you ever need to talk about things, I'm here.

Thanks, Platina! You don't have to go through the trouble, though.

[acuity]

I appreciate the offer. And I would appreciate it if you would let me help!... It'd give me something to do.

[savedtheworld]

[He knows what it's like to feel helpless and to want to try to find any way to help - especially for a close friend.]

Of course you can help. You and Ikki, I bet you'll be the best baking helpers I can ask for.

[acuity]

... That's very kind of you to say. Is she doing well, I hope?

[savedtheworld]

Yep. Ikki's doing fine. She always finds more and more reasons to smile. It's great! [And helps him to feel less bummed about any number of the depressing things around.]

[acuity]

She was very kind to me when my birthday passed here. I'd be happy to see the both of you at Diamond's party, too.

[savedtheworld]

Then you definitely will! And I'll make up for missing your birthday, too.

[acuity]

Good point. Then be sure to be there, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

Will do, Platina. And whenever you wanna work on that cake, just stop by the bakery. We're gonna have loads of fun.

[acuity]

I'll look forward to it! And I'll see you shortly, Aang.
