[ he nods at her sentiment about an unbiased story, but he's much more animated at the point of talking about his passions. ]

Ah... Not as a career, but as a hobby. I'm an avid collector of rare stones, you see.

[braavado]

[There's a very noticeable shift in his attitude as soon as he starts talking about his hobbies, Korra can't help but grin.]

It's too bad we're nowhere near my world. My metalbending teacher collects a bunch of meteorites--and she probably could've helped you dig up some rare rocks with her earthbending, too. [A pause, as she makes a comical face.] What am I saying? I'm an earthbender, too. I'll help you look.

[geophile]

Meteorites?

[ he has some at home already, but the prospect of others is ridiculously intriguing. a new world meant new specimens to discover and collect, and he intends to do just that! ]

Would you really? I usually have my Pokémon help me, but your bending could definitely move the digging process along!

[braavado]

Yeah, meteorites. [A private little smile, like she's remembering something.] Apparently the people of Zaofu have a bunch of hobbies, and collecting meteorites is just one of them.

And, sure I would. I mean, you're helping me out here, too. This way, we can both find what we're looking for. [Hopefully.]

[geophile]

We have that in common, then.

[ holy shit, he's excited now. he's seen her earthbending in action, and having her helping by his side would be a lot less risky than aggron, seeing as how big and heavy he was. this could open so many doors. ]

That sounds like a plan to me! Hopefully our exploration will shed some light on a few things.

[braavado]

Great! Let's do this! [Okay, now she's getting pumped, too.]

If anything, we'll definitely get some rock samples for you to look at. [A sheepish laugh escapes her.]

I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. It might take us a lot of flying around before I even sense anything. If I sense anything.

[At least one of them will be happy though.]

[geophile]

Sometimes going in blind can lead to great discoveries, Korra. With your spiritual senses and my intuition, I'm confident we can find something worthwhile.

[ he's got a good hunch about this, and his hunches are never wrong! whatever they find, something is bound to be valuable. ]

[braavado]

[She looks at him, then smiles tentatively.]

Thanks. Let's make this trip a good one, okay?

[Steven's reassurance is appreciated, especially when she's feeling sore over her own abilities. With him being so optimistic, Korra feels some of her worries lighten.]

Soooo when do you think is a good time to go? We should give ourselves time to pack and everything.

[geophile]

Naturally.

[ it's hard for him not to be optimistic about all of this - it all seems very promising, and as long as they're careful, they're definitely going to find something new to look into. that's a per about travelling into the unknown. ]

Would you be ready to depart in a few days? It shouldn't take me too long to assemble the materials I need.

[braavado]

I'll be ready! I don't need to bring much with me anyway.

Think we should meet in the Residential District? It'll be easier to find each other's apartments instead of meeting here.

[She gestures at the hustle and bustle of the streets just further in from the wall.]

[geophile]

That sounds like a plan to me. We'll meet at daybreak.

[ they'll need plenty of sunlight time to travel and set up a proper camp. the earlier, the better. ]

[braavado]

Daybreak, huh? [Korra rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.] I might not be 100% awake then, but I'll be there.

Where's your apartment? I'll give you mine, too.
