[Open] Just a day in the Avatar life

[braavado]

Option A. Spirit Wilds (OPEN)

With the press catching on that she was "recovered" and around again, it was only a matter of time before they started trying to hound her for more information. And only a matter of time before Korra realized the Spirit Wilds were a perfect place for her to get some peace and quiet from them. The people in the city were still wary of the vines and tended to stay away. The spirits were a different matter, of course. The vines were their home, and Korra occasionally saw them watching her curiously as she passed.

There was one that was particularly persistent. She swore she saw those leafy ears disappearing behind some vines at least four times in the past half hour. What the heck was it doing?

When Korra heard some rustling behind her only a few minutes later, she stopped and said, "If you're going to follow me, you could at least quit it with the hiding act."

Except it wasn't the spirit at all when she turned around. "Oh, sorry! I thought you were...someone else."

Option B. Around Air Temple Island (OPEN)

Though Korra had trained all her life, there were still new things to be learned about bending all the time. After seeing a few air new air benders practicing the day before, Korra had the bright idea to do the same, with one of the more...interesting training moves. The tip of her tongue stuck out as she concentrated on balancing with one foot on the narrow pole, her hand raised and keeping a leaf dancing above her palm with a gentle air spiral. She stayed aloft for a few minutes, thinking how it wasn't as bad as she thought it might be...

Of course, her balance only lasted until a lemur, without a certain young air bender to latch onto, leapt onto her head and sent her tumbling to the ground with a yelp.

"Pokey, get back here! Ugh." Korra watched him fly off with a scowl as she rubbed at her head. Hopefully, no one had been around to see that...

Option C. Closed to Lord Zuko

Lord Zuko's presence in the city was a great relief to Korra, especially with Raiko, Lin, and Tenzin all missing. Now that a few weeks had passed, with still no news or developments, she thought it was high time she and Lord Zuko had another talk.

Following his directions to his home in Republic City, she loitered outside the door, twisting the material of her shirt between her fingers. This is stupid, she thought after a few minutes. Breathing in, she forced herself to raise her hand and knock on the door firmly.

A

[raavashing]

Mula offered a loud 'mrrow' with her ears perked forward as she watched Korra. The catdeer had caught her scent and had decided to follow. Again.

[braavado]

Korra immediately dropped the frown and approached the catdeer, suddenly feeling more cheerful.

"Oh...it's you! I was wondering where you went off to," Korra said, giving Mula a good scratch behind the ears. "Have you been living here this whole time?"

It would make sense, in a way. It was probably familiar with the Wilds and the spirits who made this area their home.

[raavashing]

Mula leaned heavily into Korra's chest, purring loudly as the sound of a male voice came from behind her in the distance, "-ula!"

[braavado]

Korra thought she heard someone nearby, but if the catdeer wasn’t paying much attention to it, then maybe it wasn’t something to worry about.

She continued to stroke the fur on Mula’s head, though she kept an eye out for any sign of the speaker. It was odd, though. That voice sounded sort of familiar…

[raavashing]

"Mula!" the voice was louder now and if it was familiar it was only because it was Wan's. Mula, meanwhile, continued to enjoy Korra's company. Wan would find them soon enough.

[braavado]

"Mula?" Korra said to herself. But that had been Avatar Wan's--

Now she recognized the voice, and it made her eyes widen. Korra looked down at the catdeer, then toward the sound of the voice. "Wan? Is that you?"

[raavashing]

Wan's voice quieted noticeably before a slight racket of someone not-so-carefully making their way through the vines could be heard. He didn't do any serious damage, but he wasn't exactly trying to be quiet about his passing as he finally came into view.

His face lit up at the sight of Korra, "You found her! Or she found you. At least this time she didn't run off so far I had to get a dragon to help me search for her."

[braavado]

“That was you?” Korra exclaimed, eyes widening more. She remembered how Lord Zuko’s dragon had swooped down low that other day, when she had first met Mula. That was odd, though.

“I guess you didn’t see us that time,” she said after a moment, smiling at Wan even though she stuck beside Mula still. “But we saw the dragon fly right over us.”

[raavashing]

She saw him.

There was an obvious moment of surprise at hearing that and then he cringed and looked to the side, "Actually... I did see you. But I wasn't sure if I should have approached you right then. And Mula was obviously safe..."
