Hello again. Guess who just got a start-up loan to re-open the Jasmine Dragon Tea House. The old shop front is even vacant!

I've spoken to a few of you about job openings. The Grand Opening will be in two weeks, but before that, I'll need some employees to help clean and set up furniture. Maybe do some repair work. Just let me know.

I'm Iroh. And yes, but I've been away for some time and recently have returned.

[aprettyflyboy]

That...I didn't know it was possible. If you could get back to your world, why did you decide to return?

[whitelotustile]

I don't exactly know. I'm not sure I fully made it back; it was more of a dream than anything else.

My nephew was here at the time. And spending a retirement here or in my homeworld doesn't make that much difference, as long as I'm with pleasant people.

[aprettyflyboy]

Maybe it was some sort of vision? Some people has those in my world, usually those who are Force sensitive.

[But he smiles at Iroh's words, understanding.] I guess not.

[whitelotustile]

It is possible. This place is closely connected to the realm of dreams. Perhaps closer than my own world is to the Spirit World.

[aprettyflyboy]

This city is never boring, that for sure.

The Spirit World? Someone else here mentioned to me that in a ghost dimension exists, is that what you meant?

[whitelotustile]

It's more something from home. Does your world have nature spirits?

[aprettyflyboy]

I've never found one. We do have all sort of creatures and powerful entities so it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

[whitelotustile]

Well, it does pay to keep an open mind. Most people where I'm from don't always notice nature, let alone the spirits that might dwell in it.

[aprettyflyboy]

I completely agree. I discovered when I was very young that there are forces out there bigger than we are. It's important to pay them respect.

[whitelotustile]

Yes, exactly. There can be power in the world that does not need to be controlled by humans.

[See: one of the many problems with Fire Nation Imperialist Culture. You see something powerful, like a dragon, and make it a status symbol to kill it.]

[aprettyflyboy]

I agree. I've met a lot of other races far more powerful and wiser than us. Travelling the galaxy gives a lot of insight.

[That's a pretty terrible way to do things.]

[whitelotustile]

I can imagine. I've only travelled my own world and this one, and that was quite an education in itself.

[aprettyflyboy]

This one is very special, it makes up for all the others so far. Except maybe Yavin IV. It's a much simpler place but it's home.

[whitelotustile]

Homes are always special, regardless of how simple they are.
