A Symphony of Elements

Please don't start singing!

If only Lin could convince him to go out for dinner and drinks cause if anyone needs a drink, it's motherfucking tenzin but I dunno if he drinks anymore. At any rate I DID post. I don't like it but it does get the job done and we have some pretty cute amazeball things planned so I'm not too worried, nah I'm hopeful. I already have some attacks in mind for Asami, they're pretty unique and I assume Xano and Xana would be training her during the rest of the day after telling her she is a fire bender and all.

His words never meant to cause Korra grief or anger. Bolin's intentions had been to simply voice his concerns and have her do with them whatever she liked. He was happy to be a constant presence in her life but not if the only way he'd get attention, was if she needed a pep talk. Bolin thought high of Korra but he wasn't delusional, he saw her faults and knew he needed to stop being a cheerleader and be an actual friend. As he spoke, he watched to see how she'd react. he had anticipated some annoyance at most but she seemed to be covering her emotions well except for her eyes, those gave pretty much everything away. Bolin still refused to regret his actions and words as he knew standing his ground would not only benefit her in the long run, but also himself. The earth bender knew she wasn't expecting his reaction to be so against her view point but Bolin needed to be more mature which meant he had to consider the big picture while Korra seemed to only be focused on parts of the big picture.

If she was going to get her bending back, she needed to focus on that and not spread herself thin. And if she really wanted to help Republic City, she would rally their hope and courage together rather than meddle behind the scenes like Lin and Tenzin who at least knew what they were doing and what they were risking. Bolin didn't want to see Korra get hurt, emotionally or physically but he was realizing that he needed to stand up for himself which also entailed that the male make Korra find her own inspiration from inside herself, not just through his ramblings of admiration. She moved closer to him and pressed her forehead against his shoulder. He looked to her, not sure what she expect of him. He wanted to comfort her but at the same time, he felt like he shouldn’t, that she didn’t really need him to hold her and soothe her worries. Before he could do anything though, she moved away.

When she spoke without Mako or Asami around, her eyes were more downcast as if she couldn’t reach his gaze. Korra apologized and said how she knew she screwed up and how she was going to him for a morale boost. She finally raised her head to him and he held his breath, not wanting to see her like this but he hoped this could be a turning point for her. Then she came clean to her faults and then the topic took a turn he hadn’t expected. Korra asked why he stayed, why he felt a need to when things had been cleaned up. Without any danger, he didn’t have a real need to stick by the Avatar but it was clear she still didn’t get it. ”I am mad but somewhat myself because I should have just said how I felt, I just thought actions spoke louder than words. You kissing Mako didn’t have much to do with me, it’s not like I thought we were together.” He pointed out to her.

”I’m not the yelling sort of guy, nor would I ignore someone who wronged me, I don’t see that helpful.” He told her. ”If I stopped being friends with you, it wouldn’t help either one of us.” He said and then fell silent as he tried to figure out how to best answer her question. Why did he stay? Why did he put up with her after all this time? ”We’re friends Korra, I mean my feelings aside, I was your friend before anything else happened and you’re a good person, yeah you’ve made mistakes and some of them you haven’t really learned from yet but you’re my friend and I’m your friend.” It was a simple enough answer and hopefully one she could accept. Bolin shrugged and stepped forward. ”Friends aren’t perfect and sometimes they do hurt each other’s feelings but what matters is you don’t give up on each other.” He said and put his arms around her gently, not sure how she’d respond.

Back at the pool, Asami had finished getting changed into her dark colored one piece suit. She left out a set each for Bolin and Korra if they were so inclined. Mako already had his from when she let him burrow it a few days ago. She and Mako hopped into the pool and swam around before turning their attention back to the ice cream sitting on the edge of the side of the pool. Asami swam over and grabbed her spoon as she treaded water. She took a bite and quickly realized it was too much since a stinging sensation began to attack her head. She made a face and pushed herself off from the wall. She would need to wait a bit longer before she had another taste of ice cream. ”Might wanna be careful.” She warned Mako though he was a fire bender and probably never had to worry about brain freeze.

Asami dove under water and the painful sensation soon faded away and she resurfaced. Asami swam around again and then rejoined Mako at the side of the powl where they ate their ice cream. It wasn’t easy but it was better than sitting out and eating the ice cream like normal people. By the time they had finished, Asami was worried about Bolin and Korra. She wasn’t sure what they could be talking about though she had a few ideas. Either way, she kept her mouth shut, not wanting to deal with the drama after such a nice day. Asami glanced to Mako and smiled. “How about we go to the store tomorrow and pick up some groceries? I have someplace to be tomorrow morning, that meeting with the investors, but then again you and Bolin have training at the academy so at least we’ll both be busy.” She commented lightly.

It could be of her and Tenzin when they were younger, that works for me. Lin is probably getting attached to Tenzin again despite how she wanted to put distance between them because of feelings popping up.

I have the urge to draw Asami fire bending now. I think they could have some fluff with the fire bending...I mean now she could call him Master Mako and he can totally teach her some things. Eheheh. Erm. And yeah the water bending won't happen until Xana and Xano see her grasping fire bending rather well. And I'm almost done with my post, I won't be able to give too much for Mako and Asami as I did for Bolin but I will do my best.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Haymitch: I didn't think she'd actually punch you in the face lol
Johanna: Fuck you Haymitch.
Haymitch: Oh well you did kind of deserve it
Katniss: I better just go...heheh. Prim, don't punch people in the face unless they deserve it! Like Johanna...XP

College charging so much for these books. Worth it.

Yes, nice call back to the first book "nice shooting sweetheart" and of course Katniss will be pretty happy to get praise from Haymitch. And then that leave Gale/Katniss to go to the hot tub and Prim and Haymitch to talk it out. I assume after, we could have everyone sort of gather as they did last night, everyone is gonna be so lonesome sleeping by themselves! :/

Ooh you know what I like haha! *blushes* Yeah that sounds like a good plan to me then! I'm super excited, my mind is eh staying right here, ahem! See, Tenzin gets a spark and Lin will be happy to see him with a bit of fire because she hates seeing him so upset, it breaks her heart. And bribing the Chief with pastries...take note rookies! Of course I could also add in my post or you want in yours, if Lin's looking at his picture and puts it away when Tenzin comes in, which might prompt his curiosity.

Team Avatar is gonna take a lot of time before it becomes whole and even then, during season one, it wasn't totally vibing as it should. And I can't wait to see the look on Mako's face when Asami fire bends, cue him totally falling in love even deeper. Cue them making cute fiery hearts together because that's what couples totally do right? Ha~

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Yeah, the Johanna thing would surely break the ice with Haymitch and Katniss, thanks Johanna! XD

Yes, yes *slips on lab coat* I noted that in my science book here...which has shirtless guy pictures...ahem.

So should I assume then it'll roughly be this:

My post, Katniss and Johanna start to spar / Gale and Prim lift some weights
Your Post; Katniss and Johanna still spar, people watch / Gale and Prim still lifting weights
My Post: Katniss and Johanna still spar / Gale and co do running now
Your Post: Johanna teasing Katniss still, she punches him / Gale and co. doing some stretching after running
My Post: Katniss is pulled off of her, goes over to Haymitch as everyone begins to leave for the late afternoon

I assume we'll have some overlap with some events but that's generally our plan until we get to the floor?

Mirroring Worlds, Reflecting Possibilities

Oh my goodness! That sounds pretty damn hectic. Well I know some people take the holiday seriously (I'm in the middle heh) so don't worry about it but don't get too sleepy and fat with all the turkey guys!

Beyond a Fire's Embers

It might be in their best interest, alliance wise to appear as enemies or to at least get all the aggression out of the way, so the fight could still be viewed as a positive thing. I assume the Capital could heal her black eye pretty quick with their savvy medical stuff. If Katniss ruined Johanna's look for the Ball, there might be hell to pay. Would I assume after the fight breaks up it would be around time for the session to be over and for them to all go back to their rooms?

Gale and Finnick and practice posing in the spotlight without their shirts...for science. Yes that.

Oh, I probably won't get it up by then, but when you wake up, you'll probably have something.

A Symphony of Elements

No, we can have a bit of a pool thing in your post and we could do something with the morning but I could then skip us to the evening in my reply after yours, since we wanted Korra to apologize and maybe Mako to see Asami off before he also goes off to training then we could skip to the night?

Mako can't be too worried about Korra though, the last thing she needs is more people sucking up to her and the last thing Asami needs is a reason to worry. I think Asami has extended enough of a generous hand to Korra to not seem petty in this case. And hell, we could mention them going shopping for food tomorrow night and she could show off her bending when they get home? Maybe?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Should Katniss end up giving Johanna a black eye? I feel like Katniss isn't that mean but if she was provoked, she might feel less bad about it. Then again, Johanna was asking for it, unless Haymitch also wanted Johanna to kinda push Katniss' buttons to see how far she'd go. I imagine they'd stick to punches and some kicks with them ending up on the floor with Katniss finally getting the upper hand before Johanna pushes her too far and makes Katniss give her a good hit.

And yeah, Gale could totes spot her with just his arm, ya know he's got bulging muscles and all that. And yeah, it would be fun to see them have some cute rivalry going.

How much longer you hanging around for? An hour or two or...? Until I post? XD
