The new Basswood Commander, Celaunn, stands watch outside of the building with one ready hand resting on the hilt of her sword while her protectorate goes inside. A prodigy of magic as she is, liberating all the Foreigners' souls right out from under Malicant has left Evastelei far more expended than any of them care to admit. She looks as tired and worn as Evandau sounded on the radio post, but she tries to cover it with good humour, much as can be mustered given the situation. Eva's sent out messages to the ones whose essence she's felt resonate for each address and upon arriving, carries the lanterns into the new units whether they're all present or not... she's a busy lady and when this is all done she might just sleep for a week.

"Couldn't rightly explain some of these set-downs," Eva says as she goes about hanging the lamps up in the central part of the house. For most of the units, this equates to the main living area, though sometimes in the kitchen or unfinished room -- the layouts on each building has variations, after all. "One of those things you just have to feel, I reckon. Never figured Evandau much for leaving new bottles of wine on the pillows after all, so this will have to do."

While she's in the buildings, she'll run her hands over the wards built into the walls, letting them light briefly with various colours of light depending on the purpose, a symbol-based language not unlike runic illuminating at her touch and then fading to invisibility again.

"Now for these," she'll continue once she's sure she has all their attentions. "These are the best I could do on short notice, what with the Creature throwing all his resource at breaking Eshai's spells. That's why none of you could get into the Throne Room few weeks back-- that was a right bold move on your parts, by the way. See if you can't talk tall and smileless up there," she jerks her head toward the front of the building to indicate Celaunn, "into learning something from it. Chilu's are too by the book."

She'll explain how the lanterns are strengthened by proximity of those whose soul they house, and the dangers of staying away from them (particularly in a Dreaming state) for too long. "You don't want the Creature coming to rip you out of here," she says, jabbing them in the chest for emphasis, a deep frown distorting the burned scar on the one side of her face. "Be something like putting your insides through a wind shearer. Don't recommend it, that's for certain. Are you paying attention? Don't be moving these anywhere. With the power of these, I can understand why Eshai wanted to keep them close but keeping them from you... well, it wasn't the only thing she and I disagreed on."

Once she's satisfied that they've got as much information as she can provide at this time, she'll remind them as Evandau did: these lanterns are their Keeliai anchors and should they be destroyed, it won't be a trip back to their worlds that they can look forward to. "Without these, I can't keep you from being lost for good," she'll add seriously. "Good luck with them."

That’s something Korra can see, and almost feel, when she released him from the hug. Giving a small sigh, Korra heads over to the bed to sit down.

Her own personal problems could come later. "I was going to ask Mako to teach you firebending when you were ready to learn. And… you need to master it. In case I end up returning home, too."

Boy! The floor sure looks interesting! Lookit that! It's like he's never see anything like it before.

"Won't I just learn it when I get home?"

"Yeah." She leaned down until she was bale to look up at him. "But you need to be the Avatar here, too. Who we’re going to fight isn’t the Fire Lord, he’s a lot worse, and it’s going to take both of us."
12goingon113: (Shame)

He knows she's right, has always known she was right, but...he can't. He just can't.

"And what happens when I hurt you, or someone else in the process just like..." He drifts off, never actually saying the name Katara.

"And besides, I can't be the Avatar anyways, my chakra's blocked."
alphatar: (Smug Arrogant Confident Cool)

BALE = ABLE idek what happened...

"Just try and hurt me with firebending." A smirk worked its way to the corner of her mouth, lifting up more of a smile than she's managed in a while. "But you can't keep putting it off, not when this world needs all the help it can get."

The chakras left Korra stumped. That specific aspect never verbally came up in her training, but she was able to connect with the cosmic energy of the universe. "I know we can unblock them if we work together."
12goingon113: (Shame)

BAH words...

He looks over at her, expression lost. Drowning almost. Drowning and looking for something to keep his head above water.

"You...you really think so?"
alphatar: (Kinda hopeful)

"Yeah, I do." That look got a comforting smile out of Korra. Of all things, Aang was still a kid. She'd been there at his age, having all but one element unlocked and she wouldn't settle for anything less than giving him her best shot at helping him.

He gave her his bending, it was almost poetic for her to return the favor.

"Even though we can't stay in the same suite anymore, we can still do something. I mean I've already got a good look at the knot of energy you've got twisted up in your back. We're already a step in the right direction." And Korra always liked to charge her way into things.

He smiles.
It's a small smile, but it's still something. A spark of hope that had all but died begins to reignite.

"okay," he says finally.

alphatar: (Smug Naga Heh)

After a pause, she returned the word with a smile. "Okay. Send me a message when you're all set up here so we can start."
12goingon113: (Woobie)

[personal profile] 12goingon113 2014-06-24 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"I will. I promise. Avatar promise," he says...his smile broadening.
