1st Testimony: Early December Catchall
[Dick Gumshoe, a local earthbending police detective who wishes he was a metalbending cop but is perpetually down on his luck. The good detective can be found at a few locales throughout the city.
A. Sitting on the steps of city hall during a lunch break. He'll be eating from a dinky container of Flameo Instant noodles while also dabbling at a sketchbook. The sketches are far from professional, but they seem to be reflecting some kind of badgermole-like creature.
B. By the police station! He'll mostly be there to do business... or just chat up everyone in the area and look for cases to latch onto. And if someone doesn't seem to belong there, he may pop over to see if they need to be questioned. He may also have a dog with him.
C. In an empty-ish lot within the spirit wilds, where he practices his earthbending. He's also set up a tin can on a dormant vine, and he'll make many a valiant, exaggerated effort to bend it. The result is him holding a ridiculous-looking pose while staring the can down for several minutes.]

[Korra rubs at her neck, offering him a sheepish smile.]
I didn't mean to scare you or anything.
no subject
Don't think anything of it! I was just - hey! [He points a finger at her with very fragile confidence.] You're the Avatar, aren't you?
[The Avatar's looking at his sketches? Way to make a guy feel self-conscious!]
no subject
Korra shrugs. ]
Yup. That's me.

Gumshoe rubs at his hair meekly.]
Whoa! Ain't... ain't that something. Nothing bad going on here, Miss Avatar, just minding my business!
no subject
You don't need to act like I'm going to attack you just because I'm the Avatar, you know.
[It's been a while since she's encountered that kind of response to being the Avatar, but it's definitely as unpleasant as she remembers. Maybe even less so now that she isn't always looking to pick a fight.]
no subject
Sorry! Sorry, Miss Avatar, I didn't mean it! Please don't break my desk...
no subject
[That's a pretty weird request. Up until she realizes what he's actually talking about, and instantly feels her cheeks heat up in response.]
Oh...no. You were there for that?
[How embarrassing.]
