first gust ⊕ video (forward-dated to the second, open to both courts)
[When the video turns on it might have just been somewhat accidental. She'd asked the fairies how to use it which might not have been all that helpful, really, but she'd figured it out earlier and was now perhaps investigating more. She's a tiny thing, however, and young-- dressed in bright orange and yellow monk garb. When she moves it always seems light and with the wind-- she's definitely fidgity right now.
For a moment she doesn't say anything. She tries to figure out what she wants to say once more. By nature she's a shy one and so it's weird to suddenly address a bunch of people. She definitely knows there's a lot of them, too. She wants to, however, and so she quickly musters up the nerve.]
Hi. I'm Jinora.
[A pause. That's good, right? It's a start. Nice and simple, but she continues on.]
. . . I just arrive here a little while ago. That's okay, 'though, because Korra and some of the others are here. Daddy's not... but that's okay, because he's got lots to do at home right now with everyone. [It is kind of disheartening though, seeing as they'd only just made up. And Kai wasn't here either. She wants to see them both, but really besides that time in the Spirit World she'd always had her father. Her entire family, really. It's just a little nerve wracking.]
I spent a while talking to the fairies! They told me a little about where we're are, but they seemed more interested in playing. They didn't seem mean, they helped me find my friends. [Hm.] But I did have to go to the library to learn more! The library here's definitely one of the biggest I've seen, I could read in there forever. There's a lot to read, but I'll do it.
[She hesitates for just one moment more and pulls a hand to her chin, the uncertain look pulling through as she thinks about it.] But well... [She decides to just say and it speaks up.] The best knowledge comes straight from the people who lived it, so I thought it was a good idea to ask:
Do you guys like it here? Have you seen new things? What sort of new things have you seen? The animals are completely different from ours at home and the fairies aren't anything like we have either. 'Though, they do remind me of spirits a little. Do you travel a lot here? I bet there's a lot of places you can see that would be exciting.
[Do the questions stop? Probably never. But at least she seems to be excited and trying, but there's a more pressing question here and she gets to it soon enough:]
Do you think peace is possible? Isn't there a lot more to do around here then fighting each other? There seems to be tons of things to learn and do so it would be a waste if there wasn't a way to bring peace that way. [Because we don't have to fight. Of course, it's in her nature to be a pacifist. And that's the one thing that's been troubling her. Certainly, she knew about war and there was some-- but being told she was a participant and there was no way around it didn't sit right. She wants to find another way.]
Um. I guess that's what I wanted to ask! If you'd like to answer or just talk I'd like that. We can try being friends, that would be nice, too. I'm not really good at this but it didn't seem like anyone minded that...
[She smiles hopefully! Now that she's no longer rattling off a million questions and her most important one is out she's back to that uncertain shyness and with it she gives a slight wave and shuts off the feed for now. Mission accomplished.]

[Merida doesn't take it as demeaning as she would've if it had come from her mother - this is a little kid after all, she doesn't deserve a Scot screeching at her. Having three little brothers helped her connect with some of the younger people here, and she feels the same connection with Jinora, if only budding.]
Ah, I didn't introduce myself. [She inclines her head in a mockery of a curtsy.] Merida, firstborn of Clan DunBroch, daughter of Queen Elinor and Fergus th' Bear King.
no subject
[ Since she doesn't really know anything about imps yet it could totally be a thing that was happening. Not that she wouldn't assume about them first anyway. It's nice talking to someone younger though, who isn't Korra or the others. Most of the others so far had been adults and Lumina... she wasn't sure about.
But she smiles and outs her fists together and bows slightly, a traditional bow. Though she looks a little uncertain. ]
Um. I'm Jinora. Just Jinora, of the Air Nation. But it doesn't sound as fancy as yours.
no subject
[Merida's grown up learning about imps and faeries and the like in tales and legends back home, so she's chalking up their behavior to the stories being true. There's a small part of her that wishes she could have interaction with faeries, but she knows even those couldn't possibly be as nice as some of the stories she's heard.
She takes note of the bow and copies it, although a bit roughly since it's not something she's used to. Men bowed, women curtseyed. Just another lesson her mother taught her.]
Well met, Jinora of th' Air Nation. [She smiles a little sheepishly.] Ah, I'm used to introducin' myself like that back home, though I gather it's not much use here.
no subject
[ It's something she knows, in a way. Her culture had to be reborn and its changed because of that. Different variations do different things. She doesn't want to believe all the imps are bad-- their must be some that are variably friendly to some degree. She believed that. ]
I don't think that's true. titles seem very important here. My people don't really have any because we don't have royalty. The other Nations do and their titles are important. They try to give you the same feeling of rank here, too, I think.
no subject
[She shakes her head to keep herself from thinking of her mother or discussing her situation with a kid - she's already taken up so many people's time with her fate, so she smiles as warmly as she can, imagining her brothers at Jinora's age.
...Probably still wee devils, but she digresses. She nods, pausing as she finds the right words.]
I suppose so. Who knows? You might earn your own in time here.
no subject
There's only one title I want and I can't get it here.
no subject
You'll get it. If you believe in it and fight, you'll get th' title you want, Jinora.
no subject
I know I can. It's daddy that has to see it. He's said he would consider it just before I came here.
[ Which is part of her problems :( She wants to be a master, she can't become one here! ]
