So... meanwhile, back at the ranch, there were opportunities for those who have caught their journals to know who's coming, and those who have not caught their journals to be taken by surprise at the new Water Tribe member in the house.

Oh. Is he... not nice?

He apparently kidnapped me... and is a bloodbender.

Was a bloodbender. [She caught that from Ikki's outbursts on the journal, but... she really hasn't registered it until now. Wow.]

[He gasps.]

W-what? A... a bloodbender?! There's a bloodbender [There's another bloodbender?] here?!

Was! Was a bloodbender. His bending got taken away.

[Wow Korra just. Tell everybody about it. But it's Aang - so it's like telling herself, right?]

[He knows this is meant to be reassuring, but it's accompanied by the reminder that there's someone going around taking away bending. He tried to get my family. He went after the last Airbenders.

Aang calmly takes a seat.]

Korra, there's... there's a lot we have to talk about. I don't know where to start.

I'm guessing "the beginning" might be a little far back.

[He pauses.]

I don't even know where the beginning would be. But... I want to know about people's bending being taken away. How can it be possible? [He looks at her sternly] Am... am I responsible in any way?

I don't know. [She's useless.]

Asami does. Ask her. [Out valued by the pretty girl again.]

Oh. [He blinks, loosens and sinks in his seat.]

She knows, but you don't? [And he thought she was just some ordinary friend...] Then... how did you beat stop him?

I'm not from... the same time as her.

You came here from earlier? But you know about the Amon guy?

I actually heard about Amon the first day I arrived in Republic City.

[She just... didn't pay attention that much because the protester was annoying.]

Right, I've heard about Republic City. That means you came from one of the poles?

Yep. Spent my whole life in the South Pole before then.

That sounds great! It makes sense, Ikki did say that you learned from Katara. [His voice fades a little as he says it. Another self-induced reminder that he'll be gone.] You could never find a better Waterbending teacher.

Yeah, she's the best. I even learned healing from her.

That's great, Korra! I was never able to learn healing. You already got one over me!

Yeah, well you got two over me.

Two? I... I think I heard something about you having trouble with Airbending? [It's hard to remember every detail from Ikki's longer rants.]

You heard right. No airbending, and no spiritual stuff either.

None... at all? [It was so hard for Aang to imagine. Airbending was like breathing to him, and spirituality was his thinking.] Have you started your training yet?

I have. I've been learning the forms, meditating, and practicing with gates. Yet still nothing! No floating, no flying, not even a measly puff of air!

[He hesitates for a moment, despite a bubble of warmth at being reminded of the gates. Then he tentatively reaches a hand for Korra's shoulder.]

It's okay, Korra. Sometimes, you can have a lot of trouble with one element. But I'm here, and I'm gonna help you learn it. [Again? He's sure Ikki mentioned that she learned Airbending eventually.]

[A smile tugs at the corner of her mouth, but it's not a full one.]

Thanks, Avatar Aang.

It'll be my honor, Avatar Korra. I really like being able to teach Airbending, anyway. [Pause as he thinks.] The spiritual stuff will be harder... since there's no Spirit World here, so there'll be no way to check.
