Jinora sat down quietly on the chair in the dining room. Korra and Jinora had returned from the spirit world and were successful in their mission. As Tenzin grilled Korra about every detail, Pema quietly walked over and pulled up a chair next to her daughter.

"Well? How'd it go?" Pema asked.

Jinora turned and smiled, "it went great. It was nice going back to the spirit world. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I went back."

"That's good to hear!" Pema said as she wrapped an arm around Jinora.

As Tenzin finished his interrogation, he got up and walked over to where Pema and Jinora were sitting. A smile cracked on the old man's face as he placed a kind hand on her shoulder and bent down to face her.

"Jinora, I want to tell you… I'm so proud of you. For everything. Entering the spirit world, guiding the avatar… It's everything your grandfather would've been proud of if he were still here to see it."

Jinora smiled. "I know that. I've always known that."

A quizzical look came across Tenzin's face. "Oh?" he asked, "how have you always known that?"

Jinora sat back in her seat as a calm expression came over her face. She raised her arm and pointed at Korra.

"I know because…

he never left."
