[Korra looks flushed and disheveled and a bit out of breath when she comes on the network, and there's a fresh bruise on her cheek. She's bundled up and outside somewhere, but despite her appearance she's grinning.]

Hey, so who around here plays hockey? Because this sport is great!

Oh, I'm in Goldenrod by the way. I'll probably be here through winter. I've actually started to miss the snow and cold a little bit.

Plus...Botan's here, so...

But if anybody plays hockey or wants to, you should come play with me. Even my newest little guy is enjoying it! Well...he's enjoying biting the puck anyway...

He really likes to bite things.

[Korra shifts the gear and there, at the edge of the ice, is a Chewtle gnawing enthusiastically on a hockey puck.]

I would say not to be morbid but you already know what my job is back home so, yes, I've had to take some Japanese tourists in Hawaii to the afterlife sometimes. Hawaii is rather like the islands in concept, it is full of tourists during winter months.

[Ah, she's babbling. She blushes a little at the implication, automatically reaches up and fiddles with something under her jacket (it's the Fire Stone necklace, it's always the necklace).]

W-well, you know I'm open to it! [She never mentioned the part where the kimono she still wears for every Christmas and New Years was a betrothal gesture lkjfglkdjfglk]

It's probably time we at least talked about it.

[Korra sets her 'gear aside and folds her legs up under herself, hands on her knees.]

I don't even necessarily mean living together, just...maybe I outta get a place in Goldenrod. Spend more time up here - it's not like it's that hard to go back and forth.

Of course, staying in the shop is all well and good but I do miss your cozy house over on the islands, and just...

[Well honestly, she liked living--however temporarily--with Korra. That close companionship with another person is something she's missed over the years--and of course it's a bonus that it's her girlfriend.]

I just didn't want you to give up anything just to come over and see me. I'm all too willing to follow wherever you go, seriously speaking.

Well, we're both pretty well established where we are. And if we end up at my place....I'm gonna put an addition on, because it is definitely not big enough for two people and all their Pokemon.

[Korra's just talking it all out, more inclined to just put everything out there than work it over in her mind.]

But that'd be really easy, and I guess it probably would be easier for you to run the bakery remotely, and you could maybe open a little island branch...if that was something you'd be into, obviously, I'm just brainstorming.

[styxiedust]

It'd be fun, I think, not only a change of scenery but a change of menu, too? I've been wanting to try making those malasadas people on the islands go nuts over.

I guess, partly, I've just felt the obligation to stay in Goldenrod since that's where my friends from home all established themselves. But go figure, I'm the only one left now. It's probably time to move on, do you know what I mean?

[bent_the_world]

You'd make great ones, I bet!

But I know what you mean, it's why I'm not around Mahogany anymore. New place, fresh start, there weren't a bunch of memories attached to the islands... And it worked for me.

[It had helped so much, that change of scenery and having something to do.]
