no good deed – wicked. 

       ❝ was i really seeking good, or            just seeking attention ? ❞

god, how selfish could she be ? 

          Todd had kept her as close to him as possible –– thankful that his height was almost even with Jinoras, as it made traveling with her like this a lot easier. But she was starting to get worn down, and he knew he’d have to figure something out eventually… He kept a small snarl on his face as he laboured forward with her. 

Typically Air Nomad birthdays were spent a little differently. There was little to no material items as the pupil learned to detach themselves from worldly objects that held them down. Without detachment, they would not be able to master airbending, much less succeed meditation. 

There were a few items that an Air Nomad was able to keep dear to them; an airbender staff, meditation beads, and a few other personal items. The airbender staff was the most valuable. Upon training, no one was allowed to access their own gliding suit until they mastered gliding on a traditional airbending staff. It was a tradition Tenzin firmly kept in place before moving on. 

Kushina has had a few run ins with airbending staffs with crashing them or using them as weapons against people who were trying to harm them. Now that the girl was a little older and had a bit more control over her bending, she was still unsure if she was allowed to glide with the others. 

Yet her birthday came and her Sifu called her to the training area alone. Kushina’s mouth gaped open at the sight of the traditional glider, barely able to grasp it in her own hands. “Really, ‘ttebane?!” The girl squealed excitedly, jumping into Jinora’s arms and embracing her tightly. “Thank you! Thank you so much Sifu!”
