[voice]

Okay, City, here's the thing. The newbies from my world have brought in something called pro-bending, and I want in. You need an earthbender, a firebender, and a waterbender, and I figure I can count on Char for the fire part. Sorry, Stutters, but I saw her first. Anyway, I'm recruiting someone with water powers. You don't have to call it bending, you just have to be good at it.

Come by the Jasmine Dragon if you're interested. If you can hold your own in a fight, you're in.

[ Yes, Toph. Show all these teenagers who are older than you. ]

[Korra is sitting at a table, nursing a cup of tea. She's excited to see probending start up here, but it hurts too. There's no room for an airbender on a probending team.

It's not like she'd been probending for long, she reminds herself. She's used to just listening over the radio. At least here she'll still be able to watch. That's good enough, right?]

I could feel your gloom all the way from the counter.

[ Toph is going to sit down nearby, sipping her own tea. ]

[Charlie's working today. She heads over with a refill for Korra when she notices the look on the womans face.] Are you alright?

I'm fine, thanks.

[raising her voice to address Toph]

I'm not gloomy.

Promise?

[Korra manages a passable grin and holds up her tea cup.]

Well, I could use that refill.

I didn't ask you because I figured you'd want to be on Bolin's team, you know. Not fair making you choose.

[Korra winces a little.]

I....can't play.

What, is there a "no Avatar" rule? Because that's totally unfair.

Not...exactly.

[She shifts uncomfortably, trying not to show how much it hurts.]

Something happened before I came here. I can airbend, but I can't do anything else.

[One refill coming up. Charlie pours, watching the woman with concern.]

Is it what Toph said?

What?

[Rapunzel, like Charlie, is working today. All it took was one look at Korra and she could tell that she needed some cheering up.

So, here's Rapunzel with a free brownie sundae.]

Hey. You look like you could need this.

[Okay. She really needs to work on her pai sho face. But she smiles at Rapunzel, appreciating the gesture.]

What is it?

Try it! It's a brownie sundae.

[Korra hesitantly takes a bite...and does her best not to wince. Way. Too. Sweet. She swallows quickly and smiles at Rapunzel.]

It's...very sweet.

...too sweet? Sorry...I can get you something else if you want...

[Korra feels like she kicked a puppy. Ack!]

No, it's fine! We don't really have a lotta sweets where I'm from. Kinda hard to grow sugar in the ice.

Ohhh...that makes sense. I can understand not being fond of sweets if you don't have them a lot.

I really can bring you something else, though, if you'd like.

[sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiding in next to]

So, are you ready for this? The second coming of the Fire Ferrets.

[griiiin, because of course her being an airbender now doesn't phase him.]

[Talking with Toph and the others has given Korra enough to think about that the smile she gives him is free and easy.]

You bet I am. This place won't know what hit it.

[When Korra passes out free and easy smiles, good things are bound to follow!]

That's the spirit! I'm pretty sure Toph thinks she's going to wipe the floor with us, and while we both know she's crazy awesome, I know we can take her.

We were talking about what to do about my airbending. You know the rules better than I do -- can we fix the water rules for air?

Oh, sure! No problem. [waving his hand like PSSSSHHHHHH

---and then pausing.]

I'll uh. Get back to you on the specifics. When I figure them out.

We can figure them out together. I am the airbender, after all.
