[ action - closed to housemates ]
[When she hadn't been able to find Miles, Korra had panicked. She's been getting trouble in the Underground for what her child self did over the weekend, and her first thought was those scumbags had dragged her young housemate into it. She'd been halfway to the Underground to go break some noses when she remembered the Hall of the Missing.

That's where she found him.

Now she's trudging back into the beach house, trying to figure out the best way to break this to Jinora.]


[ voice ]

Uh... [Man she hates making public posts. She coughs awkwardly.] If any of you knew Miles Morales... he's left the City.

[A long moment of silence before the feed clicks off.]

[ Lin observes for a moment, and then makes some kind of comment about Korra's stance or something that makes sense from a combat perspective. ]

[anatural]

[Korra fights back an urge to snap at the unwanted advice. The Chief's right, after all - her stance is a little off. Instead, she says] Thanks.

[She makes the adjustment...but then relaxes.] Miles is gone.

[lawbender]

I heard your post. You're certain he's not simply out and about?

[anatural]

I checked the Hall of the Missing. He's gone.

[lawbender]

Ah. [ She's quiet for a moment. ] Good for him.

[anatural]

Yeah. Great for him.

[She spins through a few kicks to work out her frustration.]

Jinora's pretty upset.

[lawbender]

I'm sure we'll all miss him. [ She shakes her head. ] I'm not pleased either, but it's for the best.

[anatural]

[Korra doesn't want to think about what's "for the best."]

It's not fair.

[lawbender]

[ Lin shakes her head. ] Most things aren't. Would you like a spar?

[anatural]

With you? [dumb question, Korra] Sure.
