As Dr. Iyashino listened, his face hid his emotions, which was usually odd for people of the Fire Nation, as they were quite passionate and practically wore their emotions on their sleeves, even though some were trained not to be that way. It took a moment of silence for the doctor to think everything over before looking over to Aya, the tension that was very imminent and was made worse by the silence now ebbed away.
"Chhaya, do you think you can handle this? You are due to leave in a month, but it seems like you already have your future set out for you. You may leave if you wish. Bring Audino with you until you get your Pokemon. Then Audino will come back. Make sure to remember to take your meds once you start getting anxious," he looked back to the Air Monk, smiling. "It is nice to meet you Kwan Kwang. Take care of her. She is strong, but she still has a lot of healing to go through. She may be accompanied by another Air Monk, but probably someone who has the same experience level as she does. People tend to work better together when they have equally as many subjects to learn from each other."
Aya, now not believing her ears, leaped up in joy. She could finally leave! But this home was all she knew. She simmered down and hugged her doctor, who looked a bit shocked but hugged her back. She never usually was the type to show affection. She smiled up at him before thanking him. "Thank you so much, Dr. Iyashino. I will miss you and this place I call home, but now I can find myself and grow to become a better person! Thank you so so so much! And thank you Kwan Kwang. I will head to my room and gather my things immediately."
She left the two older men as soon as she could to grab everything she had. The doctor couldn't help but wear a warm, fatherly smile on his face. "My, has she really grown. It's been 10 years since she came here. She is such a huge help," he then looked over to Kwan. "I bless that wherever she goes, she spreads her joy, selflessness, and happiness to all those who are impacted by her presence. Thank you so much for allowing her the ability to go out and explore not just the world, but herself. Maybe she can make a great representative and put the Fire Nation in a position of power until the Avatar comes back."
Meanwhile, Aya had gathered everything she was going to need for her adventure in a traveling backpack and rushed out of her room. She had also changed out of her casual clothes and put on her formal clothes to look a bit more presentable. Now ready, she stopped short of the two men, the Audino by her side with a beaming smile on her face, but something within those eyes of the furry creature was sadness and anxiety. She didn't want to see her favorite human go, but at least she was going with her until she was not needed anymore. That thought was saddening alone, but she got to see her favorite human so happy. They both waited to leave, ready for what this was going to bring.
