[avatar_state]

Hi! You've reached Korra! Umm, I think this is recording? Maybe? If you can hear me you're supposed to...

[The sound of rustling paper, a note being picked up and read from.]

Leave a brief message after the beep. Wait, do I do the beep or does i-

BEEP

[incandescentfaith]

You are, and you can't let yourself fall into that trap.

We all need a break from time to time. You and I are no exception.

I'll ask again, is there anything you need, or a place you want to patrol that you can't?

[avatar_state]

No, I'm fine for now.

Can always do with more wisdom, though.

And we've got a pretty good gym here at the manor if you want to work some frustrations out.

Spirits know I have.

[incandescentfaith]

I.

Sure, why not.

Send me the address.

[avatar_state]

[She does so.]

Honestly, you're welcome anytime. It's pretty much open door around here. I'm not even trying to keep track of who is staying over, visiting, or who the strange clothes in the laundry room belong to. :P

[incandescentfaith]

I appreciate it.
I want to stick close to my own home, for sentimental reasons. But I'll certainly visit.

I'll be by shortly.

[avatar_state]

Understood!

[incandescentfaith]

[And maybe...a half hour later. KNOCK KNOCK]

[avatar_state]

[She's down to answer it, already in workout gear, a towel around her neck and another one in her hand.]

Pretty fast.

[She looks past her shoulder, only half-kidding with her next remark.]

Nothing chasing you, I hope?

[incandescentfaith]

No, I flew. I did have to kill an ogre on the way here though.

[you know, just normal senshi things.]

I don't smell do I?

[avatar_state]

Wait, an actual ogre?

[And she makes an experimental sniff]

Maybe a little, like, smoke-y? But to be fair, that could be anything around here.

[incandescentfaith]

Yeah. Or something near enough to an ogre to be indistinguishable.

[She shrugs.]

I do naturally smell of woodsmoke, so I guess that's normal enough. As long as it isn't ogre.

[avatar_state]

[She stepped out of the way to let her in, shaking her head.]

This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder It'll be sea monsters next.

And a sea.

[incandescentfaith]

About that...

[Rei steps in, rubbing her temple.]

I've been getting visions of the sea for days now.

[avatar_state]

[Well that gives her pause. She closes the door behind her.]

And...how accurate have these visions been in the past...?

[incandescentfaith]

I'm gifted with prophecy, Korra. My visions rarely don't come true.

[And that's...not necessarily a comfort. she knows that.]

Though the sea isn't necessarily bad.

[avatar_state]

[It'd be nice if there was some variation, now and again. Or if the prophecy were about being invaded by adorable baby turtleducks! But it never seems to work that way.]

Anywhere else, I'd agree with you whole-heartedly.

[She led the way towards the gym, handing her a towel on the way.]

But..it's good to see you again.

[incandescentfaith]

You too.

[Rei takes it, following along without comment.]

So. you want me to spot you first?

[avatar_state]

[She nods, pushing open the door to what is really a cobbled-together gym. She flicks on a light switch.]

It's not exactly a Grade-A gym, but...it'll do.

[She starts to stretch out, a bit tenderly.]

[incandescentfaith]

A gym is a gym. We don't need much.

[Rei moves to do the same, rolling her shoulders, taking care to watch Korra.]

[avatar_state]

[What she might notice are the slowly healing marks of some deep, ugly bruises along her midsection and sides. The tentacles in the mist did their damage.]

True enough. I dunno, I feel like we should have a headquarters or something and...[She waves it away.]

It's like we're fighting a war against this place.

[Finally, she moves into position under the weights.]

[incandescentfaith]

[She does note them. And...wonder at the source. She'd had tentacle friends for weeks now.]

We are fighting a war with this place. We have been since we got here. It just isn't the traditional kind.
