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.

That's- [cough.] Not a problem, really.

[... okay, now he just frowns.] You could have at least pretended to hesitate first.

What?

[She's not translucent! Really! ...Okay she is.]

I already know I become a councilman. Head councilman. Of Republic City. Plus the world saving. Entire Earth Kingdom not being a giant pile of ashes? That was me. So I know you've heard of me.

[Wait. This is going against his point of acting like he's just regular.]

[Korra lets out a suffering sigh and hits her forehead on the back of the chair.]

[You know, maybe he doesn't like this Avatar very much.

Maybe he would have made a better Water Tribe Avatar after all.]

I... I've been trying.

[To treat them like people. Like people who actually exist, and aren't some figment of a demented dream world - or skewed Spirit World - or something. She's been trying.]

Trying what? [He may be just a little bit lost now.]

To relax.

[But relaxing is hard when you're trying to do it.]

[Ah. Okay. Maybe he took it the wrong way.]

Relaxing's easy. The trick is to think of all the things you should be doing, and the decide they can wait for tomorrow. [He waves his hand vaguely in the air.] Whoosh. Problems gone for another day.

That actually doesn't sound half bad.

Right now? You should probably be finding a place to live, figuring out all the things that will happen to you, and maybe testing the limits of your bending. But that can wait until tomorrow.

[He knocks his chair, tosses his feet up on the table and rests his hands behind his back.]

Right now, just enjoy the soda.

You know what? I think I will.

[She smiles and takes a swig. Procrastination. That's the answer.]

[Atta girl. Sokka soaks up the cool air in the house, takes another sip from the soda, misjudges his angle, starts coughing, and then falls over. Still coughing. And his entire front covered in orange soda.

He stands up. Drenched.]

... maybe procrastination is overrated.

[Korra can't help but laugh. A good, maybe a little loud, and hearty laugh. She even slaps her leg.]

Smooth move there, Famous Guy.

[Haha, laugh it up. Sokka is just going to groan at the mess.]

Could you... you know?

[Bend it off him and off the ground. Lest Katara spot it first.]

[With a nod and grin Korra stands up from her chair. She sets her own can of soda down before water bending the liquid Sokka spilled everywhere back into its container.]

Thanks.

[It still left it orange and sticky, but at least it's dry.]

I'll be right back. [To stomp off to this room.]

[She laughs again and takes her seat. Okay, so maybe staying a night or two won't be so bad.]

[He comes back a few minutes later, now with just a regular blue T-Shirt that he had lying around.]

Where were we?

Relaxing?

Right! Relaxing.

[Sokka sits down again. But. Doesn't kick up his feet this time.]

So, which village were you raised in?

I actually spent most of my life in a compound with the Order of the White Lotus.

Wow. That sounds pretty dull. I mean, the White Lotus are great guys. But still.

Yeah, it mostly sucked.
