Suddenly, Jinora and Meelo arrived without Ikki. Jinora confessed that they had teased Ikki, causing her to run off. Meelo also mentioned a shark-squid in between Pema's questions, which Bumi claimed was his nemesis and became frantic thereafter.

Tenzin brushed him off, insisting that their father loved them all equally and asked why they were even discussing things long past.

His siblings, however, upstaged him by effortlessly making it down to the bottom with their bending.

Bumi disregarded her words, insisting that she was not their mother, prompting Kya to stop healing him and let the water splash on his head.

Kya took offense to the remark, stating that only she was willing to move to the South Pole to support their mother after their father had died. Tenzin defended that he had the responsibility of carrying on the traditions of the Air Nomads, but his siblings retorted that he should not be carrying the burden alone, since they are also Aang's children and started regretting joining him on this vacation. Tenzin confessed that he never wanted to bring them along in the first place and told them to return to the temple in case Ikki had returned while he continued searching.<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cref%20name%3DCW1%20%5C%2F%3E%22%7D" data-rte-instance="532-69644422053ae351e6a18b" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="ext" /> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22image%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFile%3ABumi%20and%20Aang%27s%20statue.png%7Cthumb%7Cright%7C200px%7CBumi%20told%20his%20%5B%5BAang%7Cfather%5D%5D%27s%20statue%20that%20he%20hoped%20he%20had%20made%20him%20proud.%5D%5D%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Bumi_and_Aang%27s_statue.png%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22thumbnail%22%3Atrue%2C%22alt%22%3A%22Bumi%20and%20Aang%27s%20statue%22%2C%22align%22%3A%22right%22%2C%22caption%22%3A%22Bumi%20told%20his%20%5B%5BAang%7Cfather%5D%5D%27s%20statue%20that%20he%20hoped%20he%20had%20made%20him%20proud.%22%2C%22width%22%3A200%2C%22captionParsed%22%3A%22Bumi%20told%20his%20%3Ca%20_rte_dataidx%3D%5C%220212%5C%22%20href%3D%5C%22%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FAang%5C%22%20title%3D%5C%22Aang%5C%22%3Efather%3C%5C%2Fa%3E%27s%20statue%20that%20he%20hoped%20he%20had%20made%20him%20proud.%22%7D%7D" data-rte-instance="532-69644422053ae351e6a18b" alt="" src="http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130928144513/avatar/images/thumb/4/4c/Bumi_and_Aang%27s_statue.png/200px-Bumi_and_Aang%27s_statue.png" width="200" height="113" class="image thumb alignRight withCaption" data-image-name="Bumi and Aang&#39;s statue.png" data-image-key="Bumi_and_Aang%27s_statue.png" type="image" /> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Later the next day, Bumi walked into the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22air%20temple%20sanctuary%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Air%20temple%20sanctuaries%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BAir%20temple%20sanctuaries%7Cair%20temple%20sanctuary%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="532-69644422053ae351e6a18b" href="/wiki/Air_temple_sanctuaries" title="Air temple sanctuaries">air temple sanctuary</a> and stood before the statue of Aang, wondering if he had done enough to uphold his father's legacy and help the world.

As Tenzin failed to develop a reason for the difference in his brother's situation, Kya came to his aid by proposing it was Bumi's positive attitude, to which Bumi responded that he preferred to think it was his "acute intellect and cat-like reflexes". He was advised by his brother to get some rest, offering to take first watch. Bumi told Tenzin to wake him and Kya if "interesting spirit-y stuff" began to happen, such as Korra and Jinora's bodies suddenly beginning to float away.
