[ (MOSTLY) OPEN ]
[ JAN 2, CLOSED TO RUBY, BLAKE & JAUNE ]
The last month had been a busy one for the Xiao Long-Rose sisters. Since the appearance of the Fire Nation portal, the girls had become extremely spoiled and spent as much of their time as possible with their father during his own winter vacation. Even though Republic City stopped them from staying longer than two weeks, it didn't stop the girls from jumping right back in all over again.
The time had been nice, but Yang had nearly overdone it. During the month she had been back and forth between Republic City and the Fire Nation nearly every few days. Yang was exhausted, to say the least between finding a new pace to live with Blake's help, picking up extra shifts waiting tables (to prove that she was a strong, independent woman!) and training with The Fire Ferrets-- not to mention Taiyang's own drills to assure that his daughter had not let up on form.
As much as she loved being home with their father, there was no point sticking around when he was going to be in the Earth Nation on business. That, she she was pretty excited to show Ruby their new home. ]
We're baaaack! [ Throwing open the front door, she She called out to the other two residents as she threw the front door open. ] Ruby, welcome to your humble abode! [ A small black and white dog rushed between Yang's legs, barked a few times before sniffing at the couch and running in circles. ] Oh, you two, Zwei! Hope it's okay that we brought him back, dad's going on a business trip so we thought it would be best if he stayed with us for a while.
[ Around Republic City & Avatar Korra Park ]
[ Dogs needed walks and that was exactly what Zwei was going to get. Altogether, the dog was very excited to be in the new city. Though without a leash, the dog was happy to follow his owner. Occasionally he would stop to offer strangers a friendly bark, hoping for a pet or a bite of food they had just purchased.
Yang showed him as much as the city as possible, pointing out wherever they were going whether the Probending Arena or the statue of Avatar Korra in the park. Zwei took a particular liking to the park, there were tons of trees to pee on and he even took a moment to sniff and take a leak on Korra's statue. Yang sighed loudly. ]
Zwei, you can't pee on that, that's our Avatar. [ The corgi tilted his head at the statue and parked before he pranced back to Yang with a wag of his tail as if asking where to next. ]
[ Ferry & Air Temple Island ]
[ Through their adventures around the City, Yang and Zwei decided to surprise Ruby during her break in training with carry out. As Yang was not blessed with the ability to bend air, she was forced to take the ferry across to Air Temple Island. Both woman and dog enjoyed the nice breeze across the ferry well enough though and occasionally Zwei would run in circles in excitement.
As they reached land, Zwei sniffed the ground and barked loudly. ] Alright Zwei, this is what you're made for! Let's go surprise Ruby!
[ Zwei barked in response and took off... in completely the opposite direction. ] Hey-- Zwei, wait up! You're going the wrong way!
[ But the dog had a mind of his own, rather than taking the quickest way to training location he took the long way around. Running through the kitchens, indoors and occasionally stopping to sniff outside someone's room, only to bark and run off again.
Yang sighed after him, often offering the same apology along the way. ] Sorry, he's just excited.
[ Probending Arena ]
[ Even on days that Bolin wasn't drilling the team, the Fire Ferrets newest fire bender took the initiative to keep herself in shape. Most mornings she could be found doing laps around the arena with the "help" of a corgi. Around the fifth lap or so the dog usually gave up, choosing to watch her and bark his encouragement over joining her. Out of team pride, she wore ferret colors while she ran.
Once she completed laps, she would head inside and work on squats, sit ups, push ups and fire bending forms. ]

Something like that!
[She turns her attention properly up to the other woman, expression mild.]
You... play for the Fire Ferrets, right?
[Asami still goes to matches, even if finding time is more difficult these days. It's hard to miss all that yellow hair.
...Don't worry, she's not going to run you over.]
no subject
That's right, I'm the team's firebender! [ With a grin, she hooks her thumb at her chest, even though it would be obvious to anyone watching just which position she played. ] You like Probending?
[ What she actually wanted to ask if she was a fan, but The Ferrets didn't too well the last year that she didn't entirely expect her team to be first pick. ]
no subject
[...Even though you guys aren't doing so hot... But she'll always support Bolin's team no matter what.]
It's good that Bolin's been able to keep the team going.
no subject
[ While she knew this woman's name from a fellow meeting, it had yet to hit her that she was the Asami. Had she known it was her crest worn on her uniform, she would have shown far more appreciation. ] Oh, yeah, Bolin's a great coach!
no subject
[Asami knows Republic City's flavor of bending is very different from the traditional forms. It's obvious in how Bolin and Mako move versus how Korra moves.]
