...ah, I see. [Pause. Reassess. How to be comforting...] Well, in my world the sun and the moon are both very important figures, not only for the obvious reasons, but also for their connection to [bending, except she'll never say that] the spirit world. If the sun went out for days at a time all over the world, it would be very upsetting for a lot of people, and we'd think it was horrible too.

But at the Poles, we're at the very edge of the world. Even though it's a little scary when you're younger, soon enough you accept it as just a part of life, like the whale hunts or the tiger seal. Personally, I think it's harder in the summer. When the sun doesn't go down, it makes it really hard to go to sleep.
