Twenty Seventh Guitar Solo - Eddie Riggs [In Person]

[What is this?

LAUGHTER, FROM THE TREE? Any passer by who happens to glance up will see a black haired ten year old boy perched on a branch, a grin spread across his features as he tries to climb higher. His worn clothing catching stray leaves, sneakers digging into bark as he grabs onto another branch.]

I wonder if I can get up to the top- [A branch he grabs onto gives a distressing creak]

[How true that is.]

Very profound.

[It seems Eddie had the same worldly wisdom then that he has now.]

All the same, I don't think you'd enjoy it if you fell all the way to the ground.

Yeah, fallin' does suck. But usually I get back up. Though my dad gets really, really mad. [Now a leery glance JUST INCASE there is a lurking Riggnarok.] ...If you see him, don't tell him I was climbin' okay?

[Iroh smiles.] Don't worry. I won't.

[Have a sigh of relief.]

Thank you Mister. [He now moves to find a relatively sturdy branch and hang from it. Chattering pretty aimlessly as he does so.] Cause my dad gets really mad when I climb trees, dunno why.

He's probably worried for your safety. Most parents are concerned about their kids, you know.

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

But- I'm just climbin' a tree! S'not a big deal.

Dunno why he gets all weird about me talkin' bout climbin' and wantin' to fly.

I am sure he has his reasons. Can you blame your father for being worried?
