In 171 AG, Tenzin and his family traveled to the Southern Air Temple for a relaxing vacation. Upon arrival, Abbot Shung and several Air Acolytes presented the family with gifts, only to be interrupted by Meelo, who showed them a lemur he had captured and named Poki. However, the distressed animal escaped the young airbender's grasp and ran off, with Meelo giving chase on an air scooter. Some time later, Kya was feeding several of these creatures, while the rest of her family was relaxing. When Meelo arrived, Poki was flying along with him and rested on his head when he came to a stop.
