Bolin chuckled, smiling endearingly. “A volcano, huh? my bro would love you!” he stated, continuing his petting, realizing he was socializing, with a kind of…legendary beast? “Imprison you!? Who’d do something so horrible!?” He exclaimed, outraged. “I mean, sure it’d be cool if you’d let me adopt you, and you could meet Pabu and we could all sleep in one huge bed or under the stars and it’d be and awesome sleep over, but I’d never imprison you. You’re free just like everyone else!”
“I see, is he a fan of fire, or is he a… bender like you?” He thought for a moment. “There are too many people of my world who wish to catch me and my brethren, and use us for whatever plan they try to use to take over the world or what have you.” He chuckles at Bolin’s specific hypothetical. “I am glad you think so, my friend.”
“He’s a fire bender, like my dad was.” He says, pausing, shaking his head. “I don’t understand why someone would want to control others. It’s..I don’t know, I mean, when somethings wrong..when it feels wrong and sounds wrong and looks wrong and is wrong, you don’t do it!” He mumbles, leaning his head onto Entei and petting him a bit slower. “You should come visit air Temple Island. The sky bison are fun to play with, too.”
“Ah, I see…” He notes the pause, but doesn’t bring it up. “To some, it is not wrong, it is just following their destiny.” He blinks a few times at Bolin, before talking again, a bit softer now. “Maybe one day, my friend. Maybe one day.”
“I suppose but..Its still a bit too..weird, to me.” He yawns softly, rubbing his eyes and pushing himself off Entei a bit. “You’re really soft and warm. Making me nappy!” He said, with a playful smile. “I’m sure Tenzin wouldn’t mind.”
“Yes, I suppose.” He chuckles when Bolin yawns. “I have many a brethren that have dubbed me their living pillow. And, erm, Tenzin?”
He briefly wonders if Ho-oh would ever let that happen, but pushes it from his mind as he too, falls asleep.
“Good..cause everyone needs..a home..’nd a fam’ly..” He muttered, finally falling asleep against the great creature.
