[He has trouble wrapping his head around the concept of someone flinging fire being magical. The idea that people would consider Bending to be magic is strange to him. It's considered a natural ability back home and magic is...magic. It's strange things that happen that have no rational explanation. But Bending is Bending. For Benders it's a natural ability, something that extends from their breath, a way they can exert the energy of their own body on the world.]
[He figures that if it's magic elsewhere, maybe instead of it coming from the people themselves, they're invoking it from the spirits or something.]
I've found that it pays to have something other than Firebending to fall back on.
[He says it in a tone that suggests hardship. That he needed to have those alternate skills to survive.]
