Who is Scarier?
“Appa”
“Momo”
“Appa”
“Momo”
“Nuh-uh, Appa. Tell me those teeth aren’t terrifying.”
“He’s a herbivore.”
“Well, most people don’t know that anymore! And he can still squash people. Can’t you, buddy? What’s Momo going to do? He’s tiny.”
“Well, most people haven’t seen a lemur either. Just imagine: a chittering white shape flying out of the darkness, too-small fingers touching your skin, bright green eyes looking up at you, looking into you…”
“So? Momo’s cute, not scary.”
“Look. Aang. Katara. You both make some very good points, but have you considered… Toph.”
“Ok.” “Yeah.” “I can see it.”
“Ha, I win!”

For: @kataang-100 drabble challenge - week 7: compromise @atlagenweek2021 - day 6: siblings (yes, I am claiming this as both a romantic and familial relationship. The way I write them, the close teasing friendship is integral to both)
This is inspired by the crack #fear the lemurs discourse from about a year ago (summary), arguing whether Appa or Momo is scarier. I started spectating about half way through, and have no idea why that's what the prompts made me think of, but it turned into a fun drabble so thanks! @nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice @aboutiroh @your-royal-momoness (I think you were the main ones involved?)
