So the guests we had during the festival -- one of them was Avatar Roku, a.. well, sort of celebrated hero from my world. Maybe - well. It's complicated. But he's still kind of a hero of legend, and I also kind of chickened out while he was here.

.. and I'm not entirely sure why I'm telling the whole castle this, either. [A small puff of irritation.] Just, um. If you have a chance at something here, I guess, don't chicken out and let it get away. I guess. Agh, I'm rambling worse than my brother.

[And, sounding slightly embarrassed, she shuts the journal.]

I actually had to ask one of the ghosts for help.

[ofhope]

They can be useful.

[waterbends]

They don't cook very well.

[ofhope]

Since when do you need someone to cook for you?

[waterbends]

[There's a faint laugh in here somewhere.]

Cooking for one person is sad and a little depressing.

[ofhope]

I told you to stop acting like a shrew if you want to catch a husband.

And if you like cooking for other people so much, you should have thought of that when I kept asking you to.

[waterbends]

I'll have a husband when I want one. And I don't like cooking for people because I have to.

[ofhope]

Wow, then your children are going to starve. I'm pretty sure you have to feed them.

[waterbends]

That's different and you know it.

[ofhope]

So you just like being rude to your guests.

[ His tone isn't harsh, though. He teasin'. ]

[waterbends]

When they show up in my bed without asking! Yep.

[She sounds just as chipper.]

We should play poker soon.

[ofhope]

I can't, you stupid water girl. I'm probably going to be trapped forever like this.

[waterbends]

It's probably just a reaaally long loss.

[ofhope]

It's all the same to me. I'll go crazy, you know.

[ DEAD SRS. ]

[waterbends]

Just stick it out for a little longer.

[ofhope]

Hmmm, it isn't like I have a choice.

[waterbends]

Try to stick it out without going crazy, I mean.

[ofhope]

We'll see.

[waterbends]

.. good luck.

[ofhope]

You sure change your tune quickly.

[waterbends]

What are you talking about?

[ofhope]

Just a week ago you wouldn't have wished me 'good luck' sincerely. Even though I don't need that sort of thing...

[waterbends]

I know you a little better now. And besides - I've seen how strong you are. It'd be bad for more than just you if you.. [Ugh. Phrasing.] Went crazy again.

[ofhope]

Again?

[waterbends]

-- nevermind.
