[Now it all makes more sense. So, that was the cause of all the problems... He leans forward and starts pulling at the grass.]

You know, Xion. When I was growing up, I used to think my sister's waterbending was a waste of time. She could barely do anything with it and no one else from home had any kind of bending. But then we found Aang and over the course of a year, I was traveling with three other master benders, my sister becoming one of them. And then there was me, the guy with the boomerang. So, you know, I kinda have a pretty good idea of what it's like to be jealous of someone you've grown up with. A year ago, I'd probably feel exactly the same way Riku does about my own week as the Avatar.

But anyway. [He looks back up at her.] I know Riku is kind of an idiot and not much of a thinker... but as much as he might want one of those ridiculous weapon things, I don't think he'd ever put it before you.
