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 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.

[beifongbandit]

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

action;

[anatural]

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.

[ Toph scuffs her foot on the floor and is quiet for a moment. She can feel that hurt. She doesn't blame Korra too much. Water Avatar, cut off from water? Aang would have gone insane cut off from air. ]

[ She coughs. ] Well, new world, new rules, right? Couldn't you adapt to take a waterbender spot or something? I want to be able to say I beat two Avatars.

[ She grins. ]

[Korra screws up her nose as she thinks about this.]

How would that work, though? The rules say you can only bend the water you're given. You can't exactly give someone air.

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph will help her ponder. ]

Maybe you could put a time limit on it? Like you could only bend for a minute at a time, or something.

action;

[anatural]

Kinda like the hosing limit.

action;

[beifongbandit]

Yeah. Or limit the moves you can do, or something

action;

[anatural]

I'll have to talk to Bolin about that. He knows the rules better than I do.

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

Is it what Toph said?

action;

[anatural]

What?
