Oh for...of all th' irresponsible...

[There's some angry Scottish muttering as Merida sets her locket down, standing in front of what looks like a shrine to the White Hart in armor. Or it had been before it was desecrated in such a manner. Her knees sink into the dirt and tugging her quiver and bow off and setting them to the side, she starts to fix it up, huffing. Her locket is angled so that she can look at it while she works, pulling a face when she pulls things out of the broken shrine before tossing them over her shoulder.]

As if we didn't have other things to worry about with th' Void comin' closer. Honestly, whatever happened to respectin' th' gods? I thought th' Black Shuck an' th' White Hart held sway over these lands.

[It's the second one she's come across in the last day or so, though she bets there are more like this. Even her ears had caught noise of the riots that had started happening in the Drabwurld, and not shardbearer related this time. Merida shook her head as she set the shrine artifacts upright, making a mental note to replace them as she sighs. She can't claim to know the affairs of gods, even with what Ben said about the vision he had. After a minute or two and the shrine starting to look better, Merida pulls her hands back to rest them against her legs, pausing before picking her locket up again.]

Does anyone consider just...stayin' here? Settle down after th' war ends? I don't know if I could go back home to who I used to be, if I could just forget everythin' that's happened here an' all the people I've met, th' friends I've made. [She reaches to brush the hawk feather behind her right ear back, braided into her hair like it is.] Just curious if anyone else feels th' same way I guess.

[ on her end, korra chuckles softly ]

I'd love to show you Republic City. It's nothing at all like this place.

I'd love to see it. We don't have any big cities back home. Just homesteads and castles.

It was like that in the Southern Water Tribe, too. Seeing Republic City for the first time was a huge culture shock to me.

But don't worry, I know all the best spots to show you around. There are tall buildings and this great big bay with a statue of Avatar Aang next to Air Temple Island, and more Satomobiles than I've still ever seen in my life.

Sounds like a date, as long as there's dinner afterwards.

We could get really crazy and hold hands.

You say that like I wouldn't mind holding hands with you.

I know you wouldn't. And the City's not like here because back in the City you can hold hands or kiss someone in public and no one makes a fuss or thinks you're married.

Well that's a relief. I'm actually rather weak to holding hands and kisses, so it's good to know nobody will kick up a fuss.

Me too.

I... actually really miss holding hands with someone. I'm glad I'm not in a relationship right now, but I miss the affection.

[There's a pause and then;]

I'll hold hands with you if you ever need it.

[ and there's an even longer pause on korra's end, smiling a little as she reads that text. ]

As long as it's not in public. The last thing you need is a marriage rumor that's not with Cu.

[As if the soldiers that visit the fortress don't already think they're married,]

After I'm done in Leathann?

[ that sounds like a good idea, there's just one problem; ]

How long do you think that will take? I'm not sure when we'll be done moving Mt. Verla.

[ because you know what — they're going to move the mountain. avatars never say "never". ]

[She laughs to herself when she reads that.]

It's hard to say. Could be a month, could be longer, could be smaller pockets in between There's rumours that Leathann has a month at least, a year at most.

Make sure you take care of yourself, Merida.

[ like you're one to talk, korra ]

You can't help anyone if you can't help yourself.

Of course, but only if you do too.

I'm trying to move a volcano.

I can't be anything but careful.

Point.

It's a date then. Your place after everything?

Definitely a date. My place after everything, and make sure you bring some treats for Naga!

If I can find a seal that's not a selkie, I'll bring it back.

I'm not sure Naga would ever leave you alone if you did.

One for her and one for us then.

Sounds great!
