[ action // accidental video ]

[bookbending]

[The video opens to a view of the fountain and a small pair of feet clad in unusual, tight-fitting red boots. The audio feed is little more than the buzz of many voices overlapping, words lost in the crowd.

The little feet shift, pace, and occasionally vanish out of sight. After a time, the owner of the feet sits on the fountain's edge, coming into view. She's young and petite; her billowing outfit, tied at the waist, is all subdued red-browns and yellows. Her dark brown hair is pulled into an off-center bun.

The girl looks around with wide brown eyes. It's clear that she's surprised and nervous and very possibly overwhelmed by the busy City Square, but there's no panic or jitteriness in her movements. With an air of calm grace, she draws her legs up and settles into a meditative position.]

I wish I had brought a book.

[Her eyes close. The feed times out long before she moves.]


[ooc: Er... this does not happen at the same time as the goat-slaughtering post.]

[He already has, Jinora. And unlike in your books, it just made things worse. Fortunately, Korra doesn't know Jinora's thoughts. She just knows the young girl is upset and is desperate to comfort her.]

It's okay, really! I'm glad they got to go home. [Not really. Sort of. It's complicated. Like everything's complicated.

And this isn't helping Jinora any.]

Do you want to pick a bedroom?

[bookbending]

[That's not how that's supposed to work, but getting to go back home must be nice, even if they shouldn't have left Korra behind by herself. And she doesn't for a moment believe that Korra's really glad they're gone.

After giving Korra a quick I-don't-believe-you-but-I'll-humor-you look, she glances between the rooms. They're both so... full. Of stuff.]

I can take the one that's not yours.

[Korra gestures to the guys' room. She's straightened it some, but she hasn't tried to get rid of any of their things, in the vain hope that someday they'll come back. ]

Tomorrow we can get some boxes and clear it out. You can make it all your own.

[She should box up Asami's stuff too. She's been putting that off.]

[bookbending]

Okay.

[She hugs Korra again. It's really starting to settle in--being away from home in a place where anyone can come and go at any time. Not having Ikki to share a room with (which should be a blessing).]

May I stay in your room? Just for tonight?

[anatural]

[Korra returns the hug tightly]

Of course.

[Not just for Jinora's comfort. Korra is half afraid that if she lets Jinora out of her sight, the girl will be gone.]
