Besides, you're the Avatar. If you're going to hold anyone's hand it's probably someone all fancy like.

[Mai and Zuko are special exceptions to everything, though. SOME RELATIONSHIPS HAVE ENTHUSIASM AND LULZ AS WELL. As well as the oogies.]

[tribender]

--uh. I don't remember reading that in the Avatar handbook... [ not that there is one. ] I must have missed that lesson.

[ ew ew ew she doesn't want to hear it LA LA LA ]

[whatissubtle]

I don't know if it's in the Avatar Handbook but...you're the Avatar. You're kind of a big deal. Fanciness usually comes along with that.

[so mature, Korra. so mature.]

[tribender]

[ the look she gives him says it all. ] Does anything about me scream "fancy" to you?

[ look you weren't there okay. you don't know. ]

[whatissubtle]

Not really, which is good. I'm not really the fancy type either.

[That's why you need to spend more time with him. Nine out of ten crazy fangirls approve.]

[tribender]

Yeeeah, so I think we can throw that notion out the window. No fancy here, thank you!

[ she's not too sure she wants to follow the advice of a "crazy fangirl"... ]

[whatissubtle]

[Throws his arm around her shoulder in a palsy way.] You and I are going to get along just fiiinne.

[tribender]

[ and because it's strictly palsy, she lets it slide. ]

You know, somehow? I didn't doubt that.

[whatissubtle]

[Fear not, Korra. Right now he's feeling the team vibe. With his other arm he raises it and makes a sweeping gesture.] There'll be no stopping the three of us. We're going to win the championship and how!

[tribender]

Oh man. [ she's getting all giddy just thinking about it. ] It's just gonna get more intense, right? I mean - it's the championships, the teams should be really killer!

[whatissubtle]

Oh yeah. We're all going to have to bring our A game, but don't worry, mine is always brought. I've got all kinds of sweet moves that you haven't seen yet.

[tribender]

[ she bumps hips with him. ]

You're holding out on me? There should be no secrets amongst teammates!

[whatissubtle]

[Laughs and returns the hip bump.]

You'll see them soon enough. I'll teach you some more as well.

[tribender]

Do you have any signature moves?

[whatissubtle]

Both in and out of the arena.

[tribender]

Spare me the details for the latter.

[whatissubtle]

Alright, I don't think you could handle them just yet anyway.

[tribender]

Whatever you say, lover boy...

[whatissubtle]

You say that like it's a bad thing. [And hey, look, there's the park up ahead.]

[tribender]

I call them like I see them.

[whatissubtle]

One day I will show you my signature moves and your whole perspective on these things will change. In the meantime, there's the park. [Points ahead.]

It's one of the few places that you'll find people from all different parts of the city mingling.

[tribender]

I.. think I was here before. [ she glances around, then gestures to a nearby river. ] Almost got arrested there for fishing.

[whatissubtle]

Can they do that? I mean it's sort of like you helped found this city.

[tribender]

Oh, they definitely tried.

[whatissubtle]

Breaking the laws and potentially evading them? Sounds like I need to be careful or you're going to be a bad influence.
