[Raine looks a little drawn, but otherwise her face implies her usual cool distance.]

For anyone familiar with my brother, Genis:

He’s returned to our world.

If he left any obligations of which I’m unaware, I’ll do what I can to fulfill them.

[That's it. Despite the fact this must pain her, she's holding whatever emotions there are close to her chest. There's a beat, in which it looks like she might be about to say something more, but then she closes the feed.]

Man, sorry to hear that.

[He actually does sound a little bummed. He liked Genis, he's a good kid. Though it was probably better for him to be back home anyway.]

[Pepper never got the chance to meet Genis, but she's spent some time with Raine and she's really starting to like her. She considers the half-elf a friend, and this is a major big deal.]

I'm so sorry, Raine. That's...[She's not sure what to say. But she does know how hard it's been without her dad, and how upset she would be if either Gene or Tony vanished without a trace.]

Do you need anything? Tony knows where to get some almost-chocolate and he's got a printer that makes crazy-shaped sugar cubes.

[... oh no. She'd liked Genis. They'd gotten along fairly well, and he was perhaps one of the first friends she'd really made here.]

I'm really sorry, Raine.

[It's the only thing she knows how to say.]

Zuko has returned home as well.

IF you would like some tea, you are welcome to come over.

Not Here

[Ravel didn't know Genis. He's barely even sure if he and Raine qualify as friends. So he doesn't say anything, although his first impulse is to offer sympathy. He's just not sure how to do it.]
