[ action ]
[Korra had gotten up early that morning to train with Jinora. She was surprised that the young airbender hadn't woken her already, although Jinora had eased up in the face of Korra's injury.

The young girl isn't in her room.]

Jinora? Jinora, where are you?

[housemates can hear her limping through the house, shouting for the young girl]


[ voice ]
[She means to filter this to Chekov, but she can never remember how when she most needs to]

Chekov, I need a favor.

L-let me know? You don't have to, if it was supposed to be a secret.

several hours later

[anatural]

[She's broken the news to everyone else in the Beach House. Now there's just Tohru.]

No, it's not a secret. [Just...really hard to say.]

Jinora's gone home.

she takes some time, too

[riceballfruit]

I'm sorry to hear that, Korra.

She was very kind, and sweet. A cheerful light. [She tries to sound upbeat.]

Will you get to see her again when you return home?

[anatural]

I guess. [cold comfort, though. But Korra does her best to shake off sadness.] Anyway, we're still working on getting you home. You still have to meet our new housemates.

[riceballfruit]

[That I guess seems pretty hollow. Tohru had long forgotten she was in jail sometime ago. The biggest problem it posed how she was unable to be there for anyone else, other than through the device.]

Korra, I'd be very happy to meet our new house guests. But until then, are you going to be all right?

I know you never know when you'll return, so it might be a very long time before you get to see Jinora again. That can't be easy.

[anatural]

I'll be fine. [see? she's smiling] I have you guys, after all.

[riceballfruit]

Then I'll do my best for you. [One way or another, she'll make sure of that. First step is...getting out of prison. While being patient.]
