Korra leaned back against Naga, arms behind her head, before suddenlyโ
๐ช๐น๐จ๐ช๐ฒ.แ.แ
A flash of light tore through the air, and a kid tumbled out, slamming onto the dirt with an oof.
Korra blinked, leaning forward to peer down at them.
โ Uh. . . hiโ โ
[ @ELLORANBUGS ]
Korra sat with her legs crossed, sitting up as she locked eyes with the young woman standing before her.
โ Can I help you? โ
She squinted, pointing a blunt finger directly at her.
โ Oh! Don't remind me, you're. . . Akane! Right? โ
[ @AZULASLEGACY ]
@CrestofAdrestia Korra let out a relieved huff, her shoulders dropping. โ Awesome, glad it's not just me. โ
She said, chuckling upon hearing that she was just as lost. This place was a mazeโ
โ Between the two of us, we'll find it eventually! โ She said, grabbing her hand, leading the wayโ
Korra cringed, instinctively reaching out to brush some dust and debris off Sora's shoulder, only to freeze halfway, blink, and quickly yank her hand back with an awkward grimace.
โ Right. Sorry. Probably weird to just. . . start dusting off a stranger. My bad. โ
โ โ
Sora hadnโt expected to be knocked down so randomly. Her head was pounding, body aching as she tried to get herself standing.
โ โ โโ โ Ugh . . who the fuck . . โ
She accepted the help up, choosing not to swing on Korra since she had helped her up.

Her composed disposition sinks, eyebrow raised to the strange remark.
ใDo I know you .แฃ ใ
She asked indignantly, her dim orbs narrow, having noted the defensive raising of the other's fist. And something else. . .

Korra crouched down to scoop the phone off the dirt, holding it out with a dry, unimpressed look.
โ No need to thank me, just doing my job. You should ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ pay more attention to your surroundingsโ โ
/The girl was so distracted by her phone that she only realized the danger when she was saved by the Avatar. The shock left her frozen for a few seconds, and she only snapped out of it when she heard her phone hit the ground and heard Korra's voice/
Fine ... I guess, thanks...
Korra uncrossed her arms, letting out a short, amused huff as her critical expression melted into a shrug.
โ You picked the right person. . . even if I'm only likeโ fifty percent sure where we are. What are you looking for? โ
Zoey was a bit surprised when she was caught but also a bit lost, she didnโt know where she was
โIโmโฆa little lostโฆI saw you and thought maybe you could help me?โ
A brow raised. Korra slowly straightened up, dropping her battle stance with a heavy, deeply confused sigh, removing her boot from their chest.
โ Youโre not who Iโm looking for. . . Who are you? And why were you following me? โ
Korra leaned down, her fists clenched, fully expecting to haul in whatever Equalist lackey or rogue bandit had been tailing her through the ruins.
โ Funโs over. Now who sentโ โ
She paused, finally getting a clear look at the stranger.
[ + ]
โ Name! Yes! I definitely have one of those! I'm. . .Korrr. . .tin? Kortin! Yeah, Kortin, haha! โ
She offered a tense, agonizingly wide grin, mentally facepalming so hard she could practically feel itโ
Smooth, Avatar. Real smooth.
Korraโs eyes widened slightly, so it was her. . .
She swallowed hard, her brain completely short-circuiting as she desperately tried to think of a name.
โ Uhโ! Um, right! โ
[ + ]
+ "Uhhhh. Yeah?"
[She took her hand and got back to her feet. She brushed herself off]
"You had my name right. I'm Katara. And you are...?"
[She looked her up and down. She looked Water Tribe, that brought something of a smile to her lips]
Korraโs eyes lit up, a sharp grin spreading across her face as she uncrossed her arms, pushing herself up from where she sat and casually cracking her knuckles.
โ Is that right? Well, don't keep me waiting then. Show me what you've got! โ
Approaching closer in bare feet with a surprisingly pristine gi and belt, either he didnโt use it or he just got it.
But the many scars that litter the manโs frame tell heโs no amateur.
โYup, you could say thatโฆ youโre the one Iโm looking for too.โ
Korra slammed her fist hard into the pavement. A thick slab of rock shot up with a sharp crack, planting itself directly in front of him to block his pathโ
She pushed herself up, stepping around the barrier with a sharp glare.
โ Iโm not done with you, chump. โ
He turned around to face her, wearing a cloak that covered most of his body and half of his face.
โHmm? You watch it, chumpโ he hissed, his fangs glinting for a second.
Korra slowly lifts her head, her scowl shifting into a tired look as she drops her arms.
โ My bad. โ Korra muttered, offering a reluctant shrug.
โ Just. . . Annoyed. What's it to you? โ
โWho said I was here for an autograph, Avatar?โ
[ Ruco comments as he stood by Koraโs side, noticing her frustrated look through his hood.]
โYa look like youโre having a rough day. May I ask why?โ
Korra scrambled back up, her eyes widening as she took in the young, twenty-something face.
โ . . .Kataraโ!? โ
She choked on the name, slapping a hand over her own mouth as her face flushed bright red. She forced a painfully awkward grin, waving her hands.
