[It's true. Any common ground Tenzin might have had with his mother growing up has been upturned by having to deal with her much younger self. But he doesn't want to pass up a chance to bond with her. As awkward as the whole situation (and their own personalities) is, he knows that it would help Katara to endure this place if she has people who are there for her. ...And he knows that it might help him, too.]
I see. I certainly have no problems with meditating with you at all. It's all about what you want to do. If you'd rather choose a different activity, I am sure that I would comply with that as well! One hundred percent!
[ His enthusiasm throws her off just a little bit, mostly because she just isn't sure how to react to it. The fact of the matter is that despite the strangeness of it, she's smiling a little when she answers. ]
I guess we could go for a walk instead, maybe? I'd like to get to know you better. Considering... you know. Everything.
[He wonders for a second if he was trying too hard to be enthusiastic there. So then he carefully takes in her answer.]
Hmmm... Yes, a walk. That sounds very appropriate. Good thinking. I'd also like to get to know you better. ...That is, of course I already know you very well, but less so you as you... are now...
[He'll just collect his face with his hands for a moment, Mom.]

Right. Uh - that sounds great. Where do you live, again? I'll meet you there.
