fingers rake through the fur of appa's legs , smoothing down the giant's version of bed head ( bed fur ) with loving care. ❝ i know it's early , buddy , but we've got a long way to go. you ready ? ❞ the bison's response is a heavy sigh , but the distinct lack of further protest has aang interpreting the answer as a reluctant yes.

the sound of approaching footsteps reaches the avatar's ears just in time to lift arms up and out of the girl's way as brows shoot up in surprise. ❝ good morning to you too , kya ! shouldn't you still be in bed , young lady ? ❞ a hint airy laughter paints his words and it takes all of one second to return the embrace. a hand rubs gentle circles across her back ; chin drops to gaze down at his daughter. ❝ what's this for , hm ? ❞
