[ Ikki, for her part, had missed the last Suki - nor had she actually heard about her all that much, except for the vague knowledge that her current room used to belong to Suki and now belonged to Ikki. Suki is another of the people from her long-ago past, and she knows about the woman through stories, and she's already been gag-ordered by pretty much everyone, although not quite in time to save them from...everything else.

She's already dealt with knowing people she never got to know, or knowing them before she got to know them - mostly by being thrilled to spend time with the family that had died before she'd been born, or to get to know Katara, who was but was not quite GranGran.

Suki gets exactly the same treatment. She's family by virtue of (presumably) living in the same house and being a figure in childhood tales, and Ikki zeroes in on her when she notices Suki walking around, stopping her own errand to run over, Soren flying after her. ]

Aunt Suki!! What are you doing? Are you running errands? I'm picking up some fruits and things! Do you like fruit? I love fruit! [ As usual, she jumps right into conversation without a breath for air. ]
