[ Mako watches those glittering patterns for a moment, almost transfixed. His own left hand twitches in old memory. He curls his hand into a loose fist and leaves it there, frowning.
He is quiet for a while, his mind tumbling over the concepts of letting spirits in and balance and relationships. Mako doesn't get his power from his relationships with people, but he is tied to the sun, can feel its rise and its fall and its distance. Vyng, apparently, is tethered much more literally to those things. ]
[There's some overlap, for sure. Although being the Avatar sounds like a proper job in Mako's world. A position that actually means something to people and spirits alike. Maybe it even portends to some greater destiny for whoever holds the title. There's certainly thousands of years' worth of shoes to fill.
"Spiritwalker", on the other hand, was a name given to him by those he aims to serve because of his unique ability to seamlessly cross between worlds. People in the material plane don't know what it means. Hell, Vyng doesn't fully know. Tuck is the only person who seems to believe it should mean something to people, with a surprisingly quiet faith that never wavers. Even in the face of Vyng's most colossal fuck-ups.
He lowers his hands, and his mouth twists into a lopsided smile.]
I don't know, man. Korra is pretty badass. Her elemental work? Uh-mazing. Gives me something to aspire to, you know?

So you're... almost exactly like the Avatar.
In other words.
