[Closed to Jinora]

[braavado]

As soon as it was clear the barrier was gone, Korra and Jinora had jumped into action. They let all relevant people--Aang, Bumi, Wan, Lord Zuko--know that they would be gone for a little while, and then immediately set about preparations.

Korra checked in with Naga one more time before tossing her pack onto Oogi's saddle and accepting another pack from one of the air acolytes--it was no doubt filled with carefully wrapped food for the journey. She checked that before finding a place for it on the saddle, too. They'd rushed through the packing, aware that the barrier might reform at any time and trap them in the city yet again. If they wanted to check the Spirit World for clues, they needed to do it now.

"Hey, Jinora?" Korra called out as she jumped down lightly. "Ready to go when you are."

"I'm ready!" Comes the reply as Jinora hurries over, a bag with some last minute supplies and her glider in her hands. She gives Oogi a grateful pat on the head before heading towards Korra, looking determined.

"I think we've got enough supplies for the trip, and we can always get some more for the way back at the South Pole." Assuming of course that everything there was okay enough there for them to buy supplies, but she doesn't mention that. Instead, just as she's about to give herself a boost up to the saddle, Jinora turns and gives the island one last look.

"They'll be fine without us, right?" She sounds mostly convinced. They'd only be gone a little while and besides, this was important. With the barrier down and revealed as definitely the spirits doing the first thing they'd wanted to check on was the portals. Everything had changed when those were left open... they had to see if there were any hints as to why or how and they seemed like the best place to look.
