"I heard Yoba got himself a new apprentice."
"Is that so? It's about time."
"And I heard his eyes glow like embers."
"Hm, sounds about right. Yoba always did like picking up strays."
the idea of blacksmith!lu ten hit me light a freight train the other night and so I must share this with the world
Was thinking about Bato Of The Water Tribe, specifically the part where they're having dinner with him. Aang looks upset because he's left out of the conversation and nobody is trying to include him, and Sokka and Katara don't realize this because they're happy to see someone from their tribe, someone who they haven't seen in years. Add in the fact that they may have had the opportunity to see their father after so long, and you can see why they were so excited. Aside from the fact that Aang is upset because he's being ignored, I thought of another reason why he doesn't look particularly happy in that scene: Sokka and Katara are reunited with someone from their tribe, reminiscing about the fun times they had, listening to Bato's stories about they're father, etc. All things that Aang can never have again because his people are gone. He's the last airbender left in the world. Sure, he can talk to Katara and Sokka about his past, but it's not the same as actually talking to another airbender with the same experiences as him.
