Bumi's pockets are a treasure trove of random bits and bobs, a side effect of many things including, but not limited to: living among four small children, his own short and excitable attention span, and a history of finding use for random things at equally random times.

Having said that, there are some items he has on him at all times:

- A pocket sized leather folio containing photographs of his family
- A Fire Nation dagger
- A small metal flute given to him by his father
- A metal money clip commemorating his 45th year of service in the UF.

It's the last three of these that react the most strongly when the girl in question is making her choice of pocket.

His eyes follow the path from her finger to his pocket, and then reaches in for the moneyclip.

"Good choice." Which it is, because Bumi does not travel light. There's not a whole lot to spend money on when one's room, board, and clothing budget is covered. It's one of the reasons that Bumi doesn't feel a whole lot of loss as he tosses the large wad of bills over to the girl. And he does toss it, just to put the last nail in the coffin of her being a metalbender.

"So, where are you taking me? Or should I make a suggestion, as I'm willing to also wager you're new in town."
