Aang's arrows. He distantly knew when they came here they were ceremonial and he's heard more about them since in the last ten years, and when recognition floods into his eyes, a light somber note actually also enters them and be brushes a hand over his face, feeling deeply stupid for a moment. Of course she would want those someday. Why hadn't he been expecting this? If he was expecting it he could have tried to create some approximation of ceremony, make it a bigger deal, generally tried to bring her culture, as best he could, do her... he's thinking all these things through as his palm slides down his face, getting his thoughts in order. Linda knows what he's thinking and opens one of her eyes to glance at him, but doesn't comment on it.
When his hand finally falls, he spreads his arms wide, and laughs, even] Ikki, as the greatest airbender in this world, or at least all the regions we've been to in this country, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you can pick if you've earned it, aaand... shame though it would be if you shaved your hair for it, you can get your arrows.
[Plural. She can get as many as she wants, really, he just hopes he knows a guy who can pull them off. He's gotten a few more piercings (to a total of five on each ear, which probably looks perfectly ridiculous he can't help but think, now that he's this "old") but he's never gotten a tattoo. He doesn't know a tattoo guy...
