[they drank, they fought, they made their ancestors proud~! or, you know, they held a tower against a bunch of monsters so the city didn't get overrun. same difference]
Oh, cool. I'm super alone here.
[a beat]
But uh, kind of? I'm usually more the Distract the Guards While Other People Sneak in the Back guy. [he can do sneaky, but he's also built his whole persona around being loud, crass and flashy, so he usually gets pigeonholed into being the distraction] I'm also usually armed, though.
[kinda hard to be distracting, when there's nothing to explode]
Oh. [AWKWARD.] Well, maybe someone you know will come! [Chin up, etc etc.]
A distraction might be dangerous, but it could help. I'll ask Zuko what he thinks, he's really good at getting in and out of places he's not supposed to be. [Trust Aang on this one, he's had to deal with it a lot.] It wouldn't be good to get the supplies back to healers if we also have to bring them a bunch of injured people in the process. [Yeah, he'd try to get the bandits healed too, because he has no sense.]
[he wishes Marcus or Josh would. he also wouldn't wish this place on either of them, however, for all that Josh probably wouldn't cope well, what with his Asperger's, and for all that Marcus is a black guy and this place is like weird, high fantasy Venice and white bread central. he's not sure how a POC would do, in that case. he's not aware, yet, that Aang is a POC]
[anyway]
But yeah, that'd kinda suck. [a beat] You wanna, like, get everyone together in person and see what we can put together? [that might be easier than this not-phone call business] Maybe go look at the bad guy camp or whatever? [maybe something will stick out to them, some advantage, if they go do a little recon]
Yeah, I can do a flyover with— [Aang stops for a moment to think about how much weight he can carry on his glider. He misses Appa so much right now...] Probably one more person. Otherwise I'm not sure how close we could get. [But as much as he thinks the magic talking devices are really cool, yeah talking in person would be better.] Are you busy right now?

[he misses having access to drones, too]
I can be there in, like, ten minutes.
[regardless of whether or not he's invited on said flyover]
