[Some time around noon, Korra's nervous, orange-toned face appears in the amber slices.]

So, everyone's heard about the riddle by now, right? We've had some time to think about it now, and I just thought it might be easier if we all meet up in one place to toss around some possible answers.

[It's been a while since she's addressed a crowd like this. And even if she can't technically see them, she knows they can see her. Korra wets her lips nervously, then seems to fight back her uncertainty with determination.]

Most of us are strangers to each other, but we should try to work together, look out for each other, at least until we figure out how to get back home. It'll...make our stay here more bearable.

Oh, and if anyone got injuries from those ant soldiers or anything else, I can have a look at them.

[Her smile turns a little nostalgic.]

Snowmen, huh. There's always snow around where I came from, and I used to make snowmen of my mom and dad all the time.

[She leans forward, propping her chin in her hand.]

And healing is...when you get injured, you have to wait a long time for it to completely get back to normal, right? Some water benders can use the water to speed up the process.

It's really cold in the snow, right? You have to wear a big coat so you don't get sick, that's what Tsukumo said. [ hopefully korra (and her parents) did the same!

now he listens and tilts his head as he thinks on it. indeed, he does have to wait a long time. yogi had to spend days in the research tower after his battle with kakfa members too. it was a difficult wait but worth it once yogi returned to them 100% healthy. no one at home must know about this 'healing.' ] So if you get hurt, you don't have to go to the hospital? You can use the water to make the pain go away?

[braavado]

Yup. [She drops her gaze down to the table, lifting her shoulders in a shrug.]

It's not perfect, though. We can't heal anything fatal, and the worse the wound is, the longer it will take us to heal.

[Her voice softens.] Some wounds are harder to recover from.

[nullity]

Fatal? [ it sounds bad, the way she puts it. he watches her closely, head tilting so that he may catch her gaze. ] So, um, if the pain is a lot, it's harder to heal? Then Korra needs to be careful so you don't get hurt really bad, okay? I'll be careful too.

[braavado]

[She winces.] Yeah...fatal. It means the person's hurt really badly, and there's nothing we can do to save them.

[Sensing his gaze on her, Korra looks up and smiles, mustering it up just for him.]

We should all be careful. [She agrees. No protest from her on that end.] But if you ever get hurt, you let me know, okay? I'll take care of you.

[nullity]

[ he thinks he knows what korra is talking about it. was that what happened to yutaka, causing him to die? he'd looked like he was in so much pain that even nai felt it in his heart. but it's alright those most affected by yutaka's death are doing better now, so nai will be okay too.

korra's smile is one he's seen a few times before, the not entirely sad, not entirely happy one. but at the very least she agrees with him. so he nods and smiles back. ] Okay, I will. Thank you, Korra. You're always so nice. [ to him, to others (that he's seen)—korra truly is a lovely person. ]

[braavado]

[Her smile turns softer. There's no denying that Nai is one of the bright spots in her life right now, though she's only known him for a little while. There's just something warm and gentle about him that makes it hard not to be incredibly fond of him.]

You're not so bad yourself, you know.

[Korra replies playfully, and pushes herself out of the chair.]

C'mon, let's go get some of that snow outside. I bet the others will have some idea about the rest of the riddle when we get back.

[nullity]

[ he grins and giggles a bit at the compliment, though more happy to hear the cheerier tone of her voice. he's quick to follow her, standing upright and eager in front of her. ] Okay! I want to do the riddle together with everyone. I hope we can solve it.

[ just like the math problems tsukumo gives him, there should be a solution here as well. in any case, off they go!]
