Mia had noticed all the weird words in the paper and had gone to investigate things at the appointed time and place, but having heard nothing since then she began to wonder what sort of odd prank it could be. However, after seeing the sudden light burst from the ground, she had dropped what she was doing and ran back to see the golden letters of HOPE on the ground.

Mia just looks at the letters with a good deal of bemusement. Just this past week she had felt like she was starting to understand more about spirits than she had ever learned, but now everything was thrown into chaos. "Hope? Hope for what?" she says softly to herself as she just watches the gold slowly scatters outward. "And why... gold?" Her koalaotter sitting on her shoulder looks just as confused as her.

She picks up a piece of the treasure and looks over it before seeing someone else equally bemused next to her. The question of asking whether or not this was done by a spirit would ordinarily be funny if it weren't for the fact that this was so confusing on its own. But she can't help but shy away from the conversation.

"If this wasn't the work of a spirit," she says to Aang, "it's perhaps the biggest and best prank I've ever seen."
