So you're still thinking about sending an "application" to that wing place, Mun? Well good. You have great taste.

-Wait, you mean you aren't taking me from the ending? Where I'm happy? No! You can't do that! It's not fair!

[Shut up, Korra. It's going to be the end of episode four, and you have to DEAL WITH IT.]

You know what? You suck as much at being a Mun as I do at Airbending!

[Ugh man why does Nima have to be young and unwise and bad at this. Oh to be old and wise and actually know how to explain koans like Iio can.

Wait that's impatience at work. Oops.]

Happiness is all around you. Forever shifting, like the air we breathe.

If you keep it in mind, it might help sustain you until you feel happiness again.

I don't know, the place I'm going doesn't seem very happy filled.

[She's gotta think about that one a while. After all, SHE'S not going there, but she did come recently from a fairly dark place, with people who clung desperately to happiness.]

Another of life's great illusions is that happiness is a thing that finds us, not the other way around. Maybe if your destination is that dismal, it will be harder to overcome that illusion, but then, it could turn out to be just the environment you need to do that. Who can say?

So you... think a bad place will help me find happiness?

[kungfu_sexnun]

I think a bad place could help you learn to more fully observe the happiness you do find.

Or it could break you entirely. Maybe it will do both, and break you before building you back up again.

[Well that's cheerful.]

But I'm young and unwise. I could be wrong about absolutely everything.

You know yourself better than I do. Which do you think it could be?

[spiritblocked]

[Girl you have just talked her in circles. She barely understands Tenzin!]

Tch, as if it could break me.

[kungfu_sexnun]

[Oh imagine if you had a whole four temples of them to put up with.]

Glad to hear it.

I'm Sister Nima, by the way. Which Water Tribe do you come from?

[spiritblocked]

Southern. Are you an Air Acolyte?

[kungfu_sexnun]

[People keep thinking that.]

Not an acolyte, no.

[spiritblocked]

Then are you... from the past?

[kungfu_sexnun]

I am. Did they start giving acolytes the arrows in the future?

[spiritblocked]

[To be honest Korra hasn't been paying that much attention. She shrugs.]

How far in the past?
