[After the encounter with Amon he wasn't much up to doing the usual Polite Politician bit, but he's had to do things he didn't really feel like doing enough times before that it's just routine by now. He clears his throat, straightens his robe a bit, and starts speaking.]

I seem to have been away for...a number of weeks, at least, if not months. I haven't quite worked out how long it's been yet.

I've noticed a couple familiar faces so far [Mostly, his brother.] but there are quite a few people I've never met, as well. So I may as well introduce myself again, with apologies for any redundancy.

I am Councilman Tarrlok, representative of the Northern Water Tribe. Unfortunately that probably doesn't mean much to most of you, but I have experience with political leadership and was trying to help out in any way I could before my ill-timed disappearance.

So, I hope to get to know you all again, and don't hesitate to ask me for help if you need it.

[Well...this is new, isn't it? His brows are drawn in, though one arches slightly and he stares. It's rude, but give him a moment.]

So hang on, you actually remember being here?

Yes. I was here for a few months, and to be honest it feels like yesterday even though I've been gone much longer.

[His mouth's now hanging open a little as he tries to compute this.]

You remember...I don't think any one's remembered...

Okay, yeah not a lot of people tend to come back but, wow that's so weird.

So nothing changed from back home that you remember? Was it like you just went to sleep and woke up again? Except for us, months had past?

Yes, exactly that. I didn't...go anywhere, as far as I know. I was worried I'd been injured or captured, but apparently I was just gone.

No apparently about it. No trace or anything.

Hm. A little discomforting that something like that can just happen without warning.

No kiddin'. [He's said no a lot...]

But hey, you're back here and...well I think that's the worst part. Being here I mean.

It's not all that bad. [Because he has bigger issues going on back home right now and honestly isn't sure if he wants to go back.]

Unless it's gotten worse over the last little while.

Well it hasn't gotten better. Most of the kedan still hate us, the Emperor is a total hardcore bitch. Anything goes down, we've to stay back.

Same stuff really, random things happening blah blah blah.

I don't particularly enjoy staying back, I admit. If they insist on keeping us here, we ought to be able to involve ourselves in business as we please.

Hey, I'm a superhero, I hate sitting back. Like hell I do!

Apparently we do more damage than good, which is complete BS. She made some announcement about it.

We do more damage than good, and yet we are still not allowed to leave.

I think there has to be more to it than that. Either way, I have no intention of following her instructions without some chance for debate.

Exactly! For the moment this is our home too, right? So we should be able to fix it.

Good! There needs to be more people like us who'll stick up for, well us and not listen to her.

Unfortunately, we seem to be limited in what we can do without her permission. But we may as well do as much as we can.

Right and we can always do things behind her back or whatever.
