[This place is definitely weird. The day before yesterday she had been sweltering in her Water Tribe clothes, and now she's grateful for her heavy coat and fur-lined boots.

She had been trying to meditate in the apartment, but there had been too many distractions. So she went outside, hoping the cold would help sharpen her focus.

Problem is, meditating is still boring. Very. Boring.

Somebody. Help her.

Please.]

Um, what're you upto?

[ She's meditating, moron. What's it look like? ]

[Korra heaves a sigh - of annoyance or relief, it's hard to tell.]

I'm meditating.

[The snow-covered City may not be Saint Petersburg in the dead of winter, but Chekov, wearing a jacket and gloves only upon Sophie's insistence, still feels quite at home. It's been three years since he's seen snow and he's taking advantage of it: throwing snowballs, digging through drifts, and seeing how fast he can run through it.

While engaged in the latter, the seventeen year-old plows rather gracelessly into Korra.

Oops.]

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

[action]

[anatural]

[Korra yelps and tumbles over. If she hadn't been meditating, she totally would have seen this guy coming. Meditating is the worst!

She stands up and brushes the snow off her arms.]

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

[candothat]

[In spite of her apparent lack of wanting to destroy him for his inattentiveness, the woman he ran into is rather intimidating. And tall.]

You are sure? I'm very [wery] sorry.

[anatural]

Come on, you didn't hit me that hard. Do I look like a delicate flower to you?

[tangledintower]

[So what if the weather's been getting worse? when else are you going to be able to have a snowball fight in July? Probably never, and as far as Rapunzel's concerned, that's a good enough excuse for her.]

Hi!

[She's not sure what exactly Korra's doing. It looks like meditating, but isn't that supposed to be...peaceful? She just sort of looks bored.]

[Action]

[anatural]

[Maybe she should just give up on meditating. She sighs a little, but smiles at the newcomer.]

...hi?

[Action]

[tangledintower]

What're you doing?

[She smiles, sitting down and picking up some snow, packing it into a ball before tossing it casually at a nearby tree.]

[Action]

[anatural]

Meditating. [Okay, let's be honest.] Trying to. Pretty badly.

Nice throw. But if you change your grip a little, it'll go even faster.

[zipperbent]

[lol meditating

meditating is cool and all but

Bolin doesn't care

he's just gonna

dump some snow on your head Korra. cuz he's your best friend and he's also the best friend ever]

[anatural]

[Korra screeches and flails.]

BOLIN!!!!!

[She tries to sound angry, but it's hard when she's laughing.]

[zipperbent]

[It's ok, Bolin's laughing, too. And pointing. Pointing and laughing. And then he spreads his hands and assumes an imperious manner whilst he employs the new accent he's been working on- THANKS GINNY AND MAE. It's pretty terrible though.]

One must always be aware of one's surroundings, even in the throes of deepest meditation.

[anatural]

[His terrible accent makes her snort, but she bows elaborately.]

I understand, Sifu Bolin.

[And then she tackles him to the ground.]

Who's aware of his surroundings now?!

[berthierite]

[...She's just teasing when she uses a little dark energy to nudge some snow into plopping onto your head, Korra...]

[anatural]

[Ever since Bolin jumped her, Korra's been sure to pay attention to her surroundings while trying to meditate.

Unfortunately, she can't sense magic coming.]

ACK WHAT!?!

[berthierite]

[Standing at a distance in an inappropriately light dress, a parasol in her hands, Berthier laughs softly behind her hand.]

Oh dear.

[So what does Gazelle do when she sees this strange sight and is curious to know if it is a statue that just recently appeared or possibly a person that is too cold to move? She moves in closer so that her face is only a foot from touching the other, studying for any sign of life!]

[Seeing breathing, she soon pokes Korra in the cheek to be sure.]

Ooh, yep! You're real. What are you doing sitting out here like this though?

action;

[anatural]

[Korra had started falling asleep when suddenly someone pokes her in the cheek. She yelps and slaps the hand away.]

Hey! What do you think you're doing?!

action;

[virginwings]

Ouch. [and her hand moves away so she can hold it against her chest.]

Uh, I was just making sure you weren't frozen.

[beifongbandit]

[ You know what Toph hates? Snow. Here's something these two absolutely don't have in common.

Normally she'd ask Charlie for a "ride," so to speak, maybe a bit of a path through to work or something, but she's spent two winters here, so sometimes she just dealt with it. By putting on shoes? Hell no.

By bending the dirt up from underneath the snow, of course. It's not easy, but she's not going far. She's just sick of being cooped up in her apartment every time it snows.

Clearly the solution is to find someone to annoy. ]

Are you trying to freeze to death, or is the fidgeting supposed to help with that?

[anatural]

[At first she was grateful for all the distractions, but by this point, Korra is just getting annoyed. What is it with people in this place getting all up in her business?

She cracks an eye open and briefly glowers at the young girl interrupting her now.]

I'm trying to meditate.

[The girl's voice sounds familiar, but Korra's too irritated to figure out why.]

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph never forgets a voice. So when she hears this one, which isn't too much different than it was through the device, she has to pause. And then grin. ]

I think Twinkletoes did enough meditation for two people. You can probably take a break.
