[Okay, so it's clear what happened after talking with Aang and Zuko about this first...]

For those of you who knew my brother, Sokka, he's not here anymore. I'm sorry if you had any unfinished business with him or if you were waiting him for anything. And thank you for everything, that you talked and did with him during his time here.

But before anyone worries too much, Sokka's fine back home. He'll have some fun times waiting for him and he'll be happy to see everyone there again.

[Especially his girlfriend, but she'll leave that out -- besides, she's definitely included in everyone too. Assuming he's there and not in some other world, that randomly pulls people in just like this one. Anyway...!]

Also while I'm here... If you get any frostbites or other problems from snow, my name's Katara and I have Healing magic here but I'm also a Healer back home. So I can see what I can do about those, or flu or anything, that needs that kind of healing. Me and Sokka grew up in the middle of eternal winter, so aside from his recent snow post, I have lots of experience with snow and ice too.

[Not to mention she's obviously also mastered waterbending and she'll gladly talk about that anytime, but she's leaving that out for now.]

But hey, I'm sure Sokka wouldn't want anyone to be moping around or being sad about him vanishing from Avalon, so -- who wants to go penguin sledding?? Or whatever else there's to do with all that snow! Or if you're stuck somewhere or need any kind of other help with it, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Oh, hello, so you're the Harry, that he mentioned more than once. Nice to meet you and thank you.

I'm not even sure if it's a thing anywhere else than back in our home world. And I could explain it, but maybe it's better if you see my familiar and Sokka at it yourself --

[INCLUDING a short, silent video clip of Sokka screaming as he sleds down on the back of an otter penguin on snow and ice surfaces around this world last winter. Because guess who finally realized, that she has lots of videos and pictures of their time here saved somewhere. Sorry but not sorry, Sokka!!]

It is nice to meet you too, Katara. Oh, you got something to show me what the sport is like. I would love to see it.

(And yes, he gets to see the video in question of the otter penguin and Sokka in action and he has got to admit, it does like a lot of fun, even for someone who has never done penguin sledding before.)

Wow, it looks like Sokka is having fun sledding down with the penguin in that video clip.

Sometimes those explanations work better than words. But we're from the South Pole of our world, lots of ice and snow there for playing with otter penguins by penguin sledding on their backs.

[Oh yeah, Sokka's having "fun" on that coolest rollercoaster ride ever. Spoilers; he'll try it rarely and then he remembers why he doesn't go penguin sledding more often.]

... Hah, he's opinion on it is actually entirely different than mine, I guess. Most people, including me, think it's fun and relaxing and the penguins love playing like that too.

Oh, so even the penguins love sledding on the snow and ice. That is nice to hear, I would like to give it a try someday real soon.

It might be just as fun as riding on a broomstick in the air.

I'm pretty sure they love it even more without human company, they're wild penguins living in the same areas as us but they spend a lot of time with us too... You could give it a try with my familiar anytime!

[Aaaand if all this talk about penguins isn't enough to get her distracted and excited, that thing he says about brooms in the air lights up her face even more.]

You can do that?!

Why yes, I can absolutely fly a broomstick back in my world: it is a common skill that many wizards and witches would learn in there and I had gotten the talent from my dad. We use broomsticks for a sport where we chase after metallic balls while flying on our brooms.

But I don’t have my broomstick with me when I arrived here, which is sad since I would have love to demonstrate how to fly on one someday.

That sounds amazing and fun, I'd love to try it or even just see that demonstration!

So, you can't just fly on any broomstick here, it has to be your own from your home world?

I haven’t see a lot of people riding on broomsticks in here, even in Camelot, so it might be something that is exclusive to my world.

Or maybe other worlds might have people flying on brooms too, but I haven’t met anyone else who has ridden on broomsticks in their worlds so far.

I've never heard it being a sport like that, so that might be just in your world. But yeah, I haven't really seen many people riding on them here either - or maybe I just haven't been paying attention. But at least there are many stories about flying on them, though not sure how many other worlds have stories of witches and others flying on brooms but---

Come to think of it, maybe it'd be possible with kinetic or elemental magic or combo of them? [Because that includes moving items, flying, air from elemental magic...] I've seen our airbender flying with a glider in my home world, so if it's possible with bending, I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible with magic too.

I actually learn that it is possible to use kinetic magic to fly when I was learning about kinetic magic, so it is possible to do it. It just so happens that I haven’t reached the level to be able to fly without the aid of brooms or getting too dizzy often or draining my energy just yet.

But I’m still hoping to do that someday.
