Day 6

[faintwaves]

I

I have an announcement!

Professor Iroh said that...I could live with him, and that Feferi would be living with him too. So it's like I have a sister now and everything


...We're a family now, okay? So you won't ever have to hear about my parents from me again.

I still need to take you shopping to decorate your new room, you know. It's too bad we won't have time before the Holidays are over... I'm thinking first day of Summer vacation, what do you think?

[faintwaves]

Decorate it...that'll give me time to think about how I want it to look, I think. I've never decorated a room before.

[jasmineofthewest]

Really?

[Then again... he's not very surprised, on further thought.]

Well, you can decorate it any way you like!

[faintwaves]

So you wouldn't think it was weird if I wanted...things like jellyfish in there?

[jasmineofthewest]

Why on earth would I find that weird? Jellyfish are fascinating! Xion, I promise that you can absolutely do whatever you want with your room, and I will not judge you at all.

I wouldn't care if you wanted to paint your walls with zebra stripes, even.

Come to think of it, that would be quite interesting...

[faintwaves]

[...........SHE IS INSPIRED!]

oh!!!

We should have a room with an Africa-theme!

Then we can have zebra-striped walls AND pretend we're on safari whenever we want!

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, what a fantastic idea! I think we should do this, most definitely. The house has been in need of touching up for a while now.

But the question is... the lounge, or dining room?

Decisions, decisions...

[faintwaves]

Maybe the lounge? It'd be neat for everyone to sit in there and...read. [What else do people do when they're hanging out???]

Um...Professor, I just thought of something

since we're going to be a family and all now...can I call you Uncle?

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh yes, I think that would be wonderful. I'm sure that we can find some excellent Safari themed decorations this summer when we go shopping for your room, and I'll let you and Feferi pick them out, and we can decorate the lounge together as a family.

[He takes a moment to think about this, and he smiles to himself. He's already had a similar discussion with Feferi as well.]

I would love it if you called me Uncle, if you wanted to! But as I've told Feferi, you could call me whatever you like.

[faintwaves]

I...would like to call you Uncle. I've never--

[Well, he already knows that she doesn't have any other family.]

I mean, it feels right.

[jasmineofthewest]

Then... it would be an honour to have you call me Uncle!

[cuddlefishpeixes]

I )(adn't t)(oug)(t of it t)(at way!

I'll be PROUD to be your sister, Xion! 38D

[faintwaves]

And technically I'm your big sister, too, so...I'll protect you, Feferi!

[cuddlefishpeixes]

38O!
Okay, but don't be afraid to ask me for )(elp if you need it too, Xion!

[sonofamelonlord]

[ink drops. Because he was not told about this.]

He's WHAT?

[faintwaves]

[.................Xion's the master of ink drops.]

He said I could live with him.

[sonofamelonlord]

When? Why didn't he tell me anything?

[faintwaves]

Things were...complicated? I guess he didn't have time to tell you.

[sonofamelonlord]

Uncle...

... When are you moving in?

[Private] Feel free to carry on, he is just going to do some reprimanding.

[jasmineofthewest]

Zuko... Please stop giving Xion a hard time.

[faintwaves]

Now?

I technically don't have anywhere else to go.

[yerawwizarderi]

[yerawwizarderi]

[its_cor_aline]

Hey, that's really awesome! Congrats!

[faintwaves]

Thanks...it doesn't even feel like it's actually happening, this is still like a dream.

[ohmygodshoes]

I wish that would happen to me. I think you're a lucky betch- well, except for having to go live with the weird home ec teacher? But like, I mean, I wish my parents would just kick the god damn bucket already.

[faintwaves]

...No, you don't. You really don't. Having to...identify your parents' bodies will be in your nightmares for days.

[ohmygodshoes]

I think it'd be kind of fun.

[faintwaves]

I can't even count how many different ways that it's the complete opposite of fun.

[Private]

[speedily]

I'm glad you found a new... Family, Xion.

[Private]

[faintwaves]

...Thank you, Vidia.

I'm...sort of hoping I don't muck it up.

[Private]

[speedily]

You're welcome, dear. And I can't imagine you will.
