Glancing in Bolin's direction, Korra tilts her head with a slight wrinkle of her nose, expression searching. Even though she's certainly had exposure to all four elements, in many ways she's starting to regret her approach to mastering the bending practices, one which mostly ever focused on the physical without considering the ways an element could be applied. She's never given any thought to the natural tendencies of water or fire, to the way that waves smoothly glance around any surface or the inconstant flicker of flame — at least, not before Tenzin requested some greater attention from her.
Float like the leaf.
"Yeah, well," she mumbles, forehead wrinkled in thought. "I'm Water Tribe, so you'd think that with water being my first element, I'd be closer to airbending than you, but honestly... if it were possible for you to be the Avatar, I'm willing to bet you'd get air before me. You're always so light on your feet. I kind of like to force everything." Rolling her head back with another sigh, Korra runs her fingers through her hair, tugging lightly at turns.
"And yeah, I have totally thought about consulting past Avatars, but there's the whole meditating-usually-comes-before-the-Avatar-State deal, and you know how well that's going. I guess I could also put myself in mortal peril, but. I'd rather not rely on that."
