[Action]
[Though she wasn't immediately near the village after the return to the future, it isn't long before she's back and doing her rounds outside of it. Her scent, fur and tracks once again start circling the village, and those that wander through the woods will find that they have an escort.
Those that remember living in "this" Luceti will remember Moro as a brutal forest god, who has on several occasions actually bit people for what they had done to the forest, taking limbs and even a couple lives. It was a rough year or so before Moro was stopped by those living in the village, and she permitted others to enter the foliage. She was probably one of the most dangerous incidents that the villagers had to face, with the war's absence. But as time passed, she grew more begrudgingly accepting of their presence and the fact that they were not like the humans she knew.
Of course, she is still dangerous and she still menaces those that cut down more of the trees and plants than they need. But these days she is the sort to quietly give lessons and speak her wisdom to others, and she ponders her existence in this place. She's not pleasant company, but she is very interesting company, to say the least.]

Yeah. I remember that...

But if you contributed to my death at that moment, then you did what was right.

He does shift uncomfortably at the mention of her death, though.]
I still don't know if I'd call it right. I didn't want to hurt you. But I am glad that you're alright now. [Now all of that had never happened to her. Another tragedy undone? He wonders if that means the statue of Moro is gone now, too.]

I... I think that I accept that. The way you were back then, it was like you weren't alive. My people taught me to respect life in all forms. And... and even though I helped to end you... here, you're alive again. S-so in that way, I guess that was a way of respecting your life, Moro.
[He still feels a little guilt, but he also feels a little something else as he confronts those feelings through those words. Something like a sense of peace with what happened all those years ago.]

I... I see that now. Sometimes... it can be possible to purify and to bring things back. But I think I understand that... It wasn't possible in that case. Th-thank you for your wisdom, Moro.

Aang holds the monkey pose for a moment, with a strained smile, before he finally withdraws it and rubs nervously at his head.]
S-so... Do you have the same rules as before?
no subject
[So, yes.]
no subject
Right. Got it! I... I'll spread the word and keep that in mind!
