[Backdated to yesterday]

[Friends from Aselia (aka not Yuan)]

[He promised Korra he would ask people to come, so here we go]

Yo. Some cute girl named Korra wants to go up to the mountains on Saturday to train, so she doesn't terrify ducks or something with her powers. So I'll be gone all day since it's a few hours ride.

If any of you wanna tag along or whatever, I won't stop you. Korra sounded excited about the snow up there, so there's that.

[....What he never said he'd be GOOD at it]

[Zelos meanwhile is chilling under a tree near the duckpond, since the roof seemed lame today. He's got his hands behind his head as he rests again the tree, his legs stretched out in front of him. Mostly he seems to be watching things around him, still deciding whether or not he's glad to be back. The ducks are doing their own thing in the pond, though they seem to be evading him, even going out their way to do so and if one steps near it will even hiss at him. Because hey, they still remember him as the dude the tore up the place sparring with Korra.]

[Oh well]

[ Hi, Zelos. Have a Nymeria. ]

[wilder]

[he looks over]

Nymeria?

[persequor]

[ She barks at him. Of her usual human companion there's no sign. ]

[wilder]

[He cocks his head]

What are you up to?

[persequor]

[ Lowering her head, she sniffs the ground. She walks until she stands by his feet, nose still close to the earth. Yellow eyes blink at him and there is something very Arya-like in their sudden mischief. She seizes one of his boots and jerks away and up to get it off his foot. ]

[pocketmage]

Training?

[ You've piqued this brat's interest! ]

[wilder]

Yep!

Korra can control earth, water and fire. Tends to make a mess when she spars.

[wilder]

[!!!]

[Trying to pull away]

Hey! Knock that off!

[persequor]

[ She will! ...when she's stolen the boot. She crouches a little away, never taking her eyes off him and still clutching the stolen prize. Her tail flicks playfully in the air.

The lobby door opens and Arya slips out. ]

Nymeria! Nymeria, to me! Where is—oh. [ She smiles. ] Here, Nymeria!

[wilder]

[He groans; he knows better than to play tug of war with a direwolf]

ARYA!

[persequor]

That's my name!

[ She jumps the steps one at a time. When she touches ground, she walks toward them. Nymeria runs out to meet her. She doesn't put up a fight when Arya takes the boot. ]

Nymeria. You know better. You can't jape Zelos. He doesn't know how to take a jape.

[wilder]

Not when it comes to my footwear.

[persequor]

Or your hair. Or your clothes. Or your cleanliness. Or your skills. Or lack of them.

[ Finally next to him, she holds the boot out and pulls it back. She'll continue taunting him with it until she gets bored or he takes it. ]

[wilder]

Heeeey! I got lots of skills! [GRABBING THAT BOOT MISSY >| ]

[persequor]

Whining and nagging don't—hey! [ She tries to pull it free, but she knows when a cause is lost. She lets it slip through her fingers. ] —count!

[wilder]

Haha! Victory is mine! ♥

[Going to put that boot back on tvym]

[persequor]

[ She pushes his head to the side. ]

[pocketmage]

Huh. So she uses magic, or...?

[wilder]

Heeeey.

[But he gets over it]

What are you up to?

[persequor]

I was looking for Nymeria. [ Who is now gleefully stalking ducks. ] You found her before I did.

[wilder]

Nah, in her world it's an ability called bending. A bender can control a single element - earth, fire, water and air. But she's supposed to be special or something and can control all four.

I dunno, overall it's not that different from magic.

[wilder]

Hahaha, guess I'm just that good~

[persequor]

No, you're not.

[wilder]

Ouch! That hurts!

[persequor]

If you know what I'm going to say, why do you keep doing it?
