[Jinora knows this place.

The eleven year-old stands in the snow near a familiar fountain, gathering scattered memories of the City and reconciling them with the last six months spent at home. A lot has happened at home, but how much has happened here? She simultaneously feels that she’s been here very recently and a long time ago. But no, time must have passed here. It was spring or summer when she was here last, and now it’s snowing.

Jinora’s grateful for the warm clothes that she’s wearing. If she had been taken from the temperate Air Temple Island instead of the chilly South Pole, finding herself in a cold, half-remembered world would be far more unpleasant. She’s also grateful for the boxy device that she finds in the folds of her heavy robes. It’s still way more sophisticated than the radios at home, but her fingers remember which buttons to touch to send out an audio message.]


This is Jinora. I don’t know if anyone remembers me, but if you know anyone from Republic City or Air Temple Island or if Korra’s still here, could you tell them I’m here, please? I don’t know how good they are at working these things.

Thank you.

[She returns the device to her robe and waits patiently and calmly for any kind of response. Jinora isn’t afraid of being away from home this time. After getting lost in the spirit world and almost seeing the world end, this is easy.]


[ooc: Jinora will remember her previous time in the City, but it will be a bit foggy. She's six months older and a bit more mature; her app has details for crazy people who are curious!]

We-ell. I --

[ If there's anything Hei has learned over the years -- and he has learned a number of things, having to blend in, lie, manipulate, prevaricate, and perform with regards to his profession -- it's how to answer without quite answering. ]

Let's just say some people [ meaning himself ] prefer to avoid labels.

[ It's not a yes, and it's not a no. ]

No boyfriends. I can promise that much.

[ dun dun dunnnn ]

Well.

I encourage you to keep an open mind, if and when you do.

[ And try not to give Korra the judgey-face. Too often, anyway. ]

That's good to hear. A lot more people should be like that.

[ He will make you eat your words if you infect the Beach House with your judginess, missy. I mean, between Pai's malaise and his own grumpiness it'll get to be a pretty toxic environment, otherwise. ]

[ It's either eat your own words, or eat red meat. Take your pick. ]

Oh. Right. Cake. [ It's real enough. It's just not. Y'know. Burning. ] Bye, Jinora. It's good to have you back.

[Korra comes back just as this conversation ends, carrying two cups of jasmine tea.

Shit was Jinora just talking to --]


Was that H-- Li?
anatural: Korra looks up with big confused eyes (Confused: Big eyes)

Jasmine. [And a reminder that there's something she still hasn't told the other girl. Maybe Hei already did?]

What were you two talking about?
anatural: Korra looks uncomfortable and shy (Awkward: Umm...)

[Asshole. Though in this respect she probably couldn't blame Hei. Jinora was her family, from her world; she should find out from Korra herself, not some guy she barely knew.]

Yeeeeeeeeeah....about that...... I ... kinda forgot to mention this earlier when we were talking about the pets, but there have been some, ah, new additions to the Beach House. [Deep breath no this isn't awkward at all nope.] Li and his little sister Xing have moved in. They're going to be living with us.
anatural: Korra is uncomfortable with public speaking (awkward)

I - it's complicated, okay? He's not what you think. [She opened this can of worms and nope, she still doesn't want to deal with it. Why is this so awkward? Why does she have to explain herself to Jinora? ARGH.] And yes, he has a sister. She's 14, and kind of a brat. But she might like having someone closer to her age around.
anatural: Korra grins (Happy: Just teasing)

He's not as dumb as he pretends to be. [The rest of her question is unanswerable -- in part because it's not safe for small children, and in large part because she doesn't even know herself. It's too complicated.

It's a relief when she asks about the room. Korra laughs a little.]


No, you don't have to share a room. There is plenty of space.
anatural: Korra looks out over Republic City (sad 20)

[Korra scratches the back of her neck.] She's...not really all there in the head? From what I understand, she's been through a lot. So she might not be very nice at first. But she'll warm up to you if you're patient.
anatural: Korra meditates (meditating 1)

She's not crazy, Jinora. She's just different. [Who ever would have thought, Korra lecturing someone else about being sensitive. But life in the City has been kind of a crash course in different kinds of brains and watching her words. Particularly since living with Pai.] Her life at home wasn't very pleasant. I don't think she'll be mean to you [you're not dating her brother, after all], but she might not be very friendly at first.

And come on, you're going to live in the library anyway.
anatural: Korra hugs Naga (bolin 4)

Good. Thank you. [She gives Pai a quick hug.]
