[After dropping Korra off for her duties at the Welcome Center, Naga is padding her way through the City, heading back to the Beach House. Her jaw is hinged wide open as she pants to try and keep cool, and her hackles are raised.

Something is very wrong with this place. It's not just the climate, which is too hot for an arctic animal like herself. There is something unnatural going on with the environment and the polar bear dog does not like it. There's too little water. The plants are unhappy. The wild animals she snacks on are fewer in number.

Who, what, and wherefore aren't questions she's capable of asking. All she knows, as she stops by the Fountain to lap up some of the water, is that she Does Not Like This.]

[ooc: Care to run into a cranky dehydrated polar bear dog? You've got options!

option a: run into Naga anywhere in the City!
option b: run into Naga and Korra in the evening when Naga picks Korra up again]
candothat: (Smoooooth)

It could snow, the same way that it did last summer.

Do you like to swim?
candothat: (Smile: Whatcha gonna do)

[Maaaybe.]

I have delusions of learning how to swim. [He hopes she doesn't remember his floundering attempts at doggy-paddling last December when the swan boats happened.] It's hot enough that being in the water seems to be the only way to survive.
candothat: (Petulant)

[Rude.]

You will not let me drown? More of my crew is in the City now; they would be upset if I drowned.
candothat: (Joking)

One who would laugh before saving me from my inability to swim.

I don't blame you. I would laugh at me, too.
candothat: (No but really)

Korra, sailing in space doesn't involve water. There is no water.
candothat: (Up: Huh?)

By going from Petersburg to Moscow to space. There is no ocean between those. [He's messing with her. It's true, but that's not the point.] At home, no one swims unless they want to. We can travel across water without touching it for as long as we like--our entire lives, if we want.
candothat: (Work: Ugh)

If a ship breaks in space, then we all hope that it can be fixed before life support shuts down. At home... [He shrugs.] I have never heard of anyone needing to swim. The one time I swam was when my cousins dared me to go into the Sea of Azov.
candothat: (Smile: Small)

I won't deny this. In your world, I'm sure that everyone swims like fish.
candothat: (Stop being adorable right now)

Then you will try to teach me this basic survival skill without laughing too much?
