Jeez, you get knocked overboard in one tiny little... enormous, terrifying storm, and suddenly it's like you're never going to see a ship again once you hit clearer waters.
But you know, whatever, it's totally cool. Bolin can handle a minor setback like this. Like sure, it's pretty terrible. Sure, it's incredibly boring and none of the fish make good conversation. Sure, he's stuck clinging to driftwood until he can find a boulder or something to take a break on. Okay, maybe some ominous dorsal finned thing keeps butting him on the leg and taking off and coming back again, and he's pretty sure it's sizing him up to eat while it waits for its buddies to show up and he's freaking out and he misses his shoes, but. Uh. You know.
No, wait, Bolin really lost track of his chill there. He's too young and too beautiful to die like this. He has so much to live for.
Come catch him in a fishing net! Throw a rock at him! Be his partner in ocean-drifting and watch as he attempts to negotiate not being eaten even though he's actually just being investigated by a friendly dolphin! Look, the animals are weird here. Who can blame him. (He can't blame himself, that's what really matters.) Heck, feel free to even just straight-up rescue him. ]
[ LAND HO. ]
Oh! Guys! Island! Dead ahead! [ Or better put, hell yeah it's an island he's never seen before. Not that he's... seen a ton of new landlocked locations either. But you know what, that just makes it even better. It's new on top of new and there aren't vicious raiders or toothy monsters pouring out to consume the ship. That's a lot luckier than he was banking on, wow!
So, Bolin's the guy leaning over the side of the crow's nest trying to get a closer look at the shore like the happiest boy in all the sea. FUCKING ADVENTURE, GUYS. What do you mean, we've seen like a dozen or more islands in our time sailing together and the excitement should theoretically have worn off by now? Good sir and/or madam, he doesn't understand that sentiment. ]
Did I say "island"? Because that's definitely an island. [ AND A JOYOUS GASP. ] Oh man, I think I even see some big rocks!
[ His kingdom for some more earthbending material...! ]

Literally do whatever you want and I'll roll with it because hilarious pirate shenanigans and good times are abundant. A+, go team. ]
