selfhelp: ([billy] it's... kind of a brother thing)

[Okay, so. Several things need to be dealt with here, one way or another. First being the fact that he has a facetwin hanging around who is pretty damn hard to explain, though Tommy being more or less okay with the "brother" title helps with that. Second is that he knows the truth about his heritage now, which is, in short, a huge weight off his shoulders. Third is that his strength is mostly back in his arm as long as he doesn't bend or twist it in a way that stresses his brace too much, which admittedly doesn't mean much, but it does mean that he's able to finish the sketches he'd promised to Pepper's art gallery.

Thus, since it's so warm and dry today, he'll be heading out to deliver a set of hefty-sized rolled sheets of drawing paper to Pepper's art gallery, and then to swing by Tony's house to catch up on some work and maybe fill his... sort-of employer in on the recent developments. Mainly the kid with Billy's face who is probably going to hate him for a while. Tommy's not as keen to forgive as some people.

His last stop will be the plaza, armed with a miniature sketchbook, and props himself up against the side of the fountain to draw whatever comes his way. Occasionally he might have to stop and give his hand a frustrated shake, but hey, there's no physiotherapy like a good work-out, right?

At some point while he's out, though, he'll be doing what he told himself he'd get done: a journal entry that is better late than never.]


[Voice, locked from Tommy]

Hey, it's Billy. Just wanted to get it out there that if you see anybody with my face - or hear my voice, I guess - that's Tommy, my... brother. Kind of. It's complicated. He might be a bit tough to deal with sometimes, but he's not a bad guy, so just try to put up with him, if you can. He could use some friends.

[....]

Just don't let this get back to him, I'd never hear the end of it.

The thing is, I'm something called an Avatar. On my world, the Avatar's the only one who can learn all four elements and use them to keep peace. And we have a cycle of reincarnation. When one Avatar's life ends, he or she is reborn to the next nation in the cycle. So I have a lot of lives before mine. And the Avatar before me... some of the things he did, or didn't do, when he was alive... and it wound up letting bad things happen in my life. Not that I blame him or anything! But it kinda sounds like what you were saying about actions between lifetimes.

Thanks, Billy. That does make sense. I... I do try not to blame my previous life for the bad things that happen in my life. [He avoids naming names or the specifics of how Roku affected his life, since he's here, and it wouldn't be right to spread word of the mistakes he'd make in the future.] And I just hope that... I'm not gonna mess up in the future and make things worse for my next life.

That's some good advice, Billy. I'll try to think of it that way and hope things turn out okay. [It's just a little harder here, when the next generation is physically here with him. It makes him want to do all he can to ensure that Ikki, Jinora, his whole family, all of them can have the best lives they can.]

Thanks, Billy. It's refreshing to have such confidence from someone who just met me. I think you have a good head, too.

No problem, just saying what I think! It's been nice to meet you, Billy.
