She starts to wonder if Bolin might know more than she does about the cycle. Because Korra's never paid overly much attention to all of that history — she always figured that she could fight her way through any uncertainty, use a little force to keep everyone in line. The past few months have made pretty clear that such isn't the case, and that the wisdom of Avatars past is something that Korra needs to have access to. Unfortunately, meditating hasn't gotten her much of anywhere, simply thrumming over her skin and almost highlighting all of the aches and itching that need attending to. She's probably no better than Meelo on that front.

So if she doesn't know... maybe Bolin does. Maybe there's some other Avatar that had a hard time adjusting in the beginning and floundered for a few years before picking up the slack. That's all this is, right? She's not out for the count; she has decades to live yet.

"It's hard to get down for too long when there's someone constantly trying to pull me higher," Korra remarks lightly, head tilted and gaze fond as she glances Bolin's way. "And hey, at least now we have our closets and bathroom figured out. Which probably leaves... the kitchen."
