With the mist limiting the space they could explore, there were only a few places that Korra made a point of visiting when she was feeling antsy. The branch that held the quest mirror was one such place, especially now that they knew another riddle had appeared. Two riddles, actually. Korra pulled her legs up to her chest as she sat in front of the mirror. Though she had liked working with everyone to solve the first riddle, she wasn't so sure they should jump at solving the new ones. What if they just led to even more trouble like the spiders? True, defeating the spider queen had freed the tree spirit in the end, but Korra couldn't help but wonder if the next one would be even more difficult to take down.

Stuck in her thoughts, Korra didn't immediately hear Fuu approaching until she was a little closer. She tensed, then relaxed when she glanced over her shoulder and saw who it was. "Hey," Korra greeted, not exactly surprised to see Fuu there. She was the first one to notice the riddle last time after all. "Came to see the mirror, too?"

Fuu nodded. She wished she had managed to speak to the ants, but she'd watched a nature special about army ants in the Amazon once that left her quite reluctant to meet them at her current size.

"It was all very neat and tidy--not as though people had left in a rush," she agreed. "Possibly it was an orderly, well-planned evacuation, leaving houses full of furniture--possibly it was prepared for us in advance, but that still leaves why in either case." She drummed her fingers on her chin. "We should ask Miss Chime if there was anyone here before us."

"There's a lot I want to ask Chime," Korra said with feeling. It was even accompanied by a rather emphatic gesture of her hand.

"She seems to actually know what's going on...The only problem is, we can't understand most of what she's saying." Korra frowned. "There's only so much we can guess at in her answers before we start getting some of it wrong."

Fuu nodded in agreement, glad to see how determined Korra was. The origins and purpose of the tree were far more important than the riddles, in Fuu's mind, but there were a lot of challenges in the way of those answers.

"Indeed, communicating only with yes-and-no questions has its limitations. If we could figure out her language, perhaps she could give us clearer answers. But..." She considered for a moment. "The riddle said she was the servant of the Tree. I wonder how much she does know."

Korra's frown only seemed to deepen as Fuu presented another potential problem they might run into.

"You think she might not actually know why we've been brought here?"
