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 a lot of information in those few sentences.

First of all, it speaks well of Asami that she was able to disarm - and then had enough presence of mine to arm herself with the weapon of - a chi-blocker. Katara's only fought Ty Lee, but she knows the other girl is fast and precise and exactly how careful you have to be in order to keep her from landing a hit.

Secondly - the weapon wasn't designed to be deadly. That, however, was irrelevant to the third point which was:

Electric weapons. It didn't matter if it wasn't designed to be deadly, hold that long enough on someone and serious damage would be done.

...she's going to need to talk to someone about this.]

I see.

[powdersup]

...I'm probably overwhelming you with the technology stuff, aren't I? [It's a little joke. She knows that she probably isn't given the stuff here in Luceti (gosh, in this kitchen) is more advanced than some of the things back home]

[markofthebrave]

It is a lot to take in.

[Katara doesn't feel overwhelmed, but she does feel... sobered. And a bit lost. The world Asami is describing isn't her home.]

Why don't you tell me a little about yourself instead? Or - we could just focus on dinner.

[It's getting towards That Time, after all.]

[powdersup]

...You'll have to show me hoe to help if we're focusing on dinner. [Because wow she is lost already just in what you were doing while we were talking] And I'm not really sure what to say about me. I'm eighteen, I like to drive pretty much anything with wheels, and I'm a huge fan of probending?

[markofthebrave]

[...Katara just removes the peppers from Asami's cutting board and sets down the washed celery.]

Here, must cut this crossways like this.

[She demonstrates and then sets the knife down.]

What's probending?

[powdersup]

[... Okay so like that? She takes the knife and she... hesitates a bit because she doesn't want to cut herself and experimentally gives the first cut. Okay, then the second. Okay]

It's a sport that's pretty popular in Republic City. Teams of benders compete against each other.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, this sounds... like Earth Rumble City.

Great.]

Really? Competing for what?

[powdersup]

To... win? The spirit of competition? In the championship tournament there's also a pot which the winners get, but it's a sport, so people play to win.
