[Korra wanted out. Out of the Avatar House and into somewhere more spacious. She appreciated the kindness of the people from her past offering to let her and Asami stay as long as they liked, but Korra needed to breathe. She needed to be somewhere that didn't have Legendary People or Master Benders everywhere she turned. An inferiority complex began to grow because she was the only Avatar without airbending. It stuck like a thorn in her foot. So she and Asami moved out, and into House 58. It wasn't a big move, and Korra felt weird taking a house all to themselves... but it was probably best to stick near the Gaang, even if Simply Existing was causing emotional problems for each other. Korra and Asami didn't have much to move, but the taller girl insisted on shopping so one can probably find Korra moving interior decorating things into the house, practicing bending outside the house, or even making faces at items in shop windows/her reflection.

When she and Asami have settled in Korra attempts at making a voice post in the solitude of her room. She does her best, but the entry is ~~fail-locked from Asami~~ 30% Filtered. HOW DOES I FILTER. Hopefully Asami isn't looking for a post from Korra and it'll slip by unnoticed.]

Hey, uh... Luceti, could you help me out? There's this guy I really like back home, and he's dating this girl that... I thought was just some prissy, elegant, beautiful girl who was too perfect. But actually - I don't know. She seems pretty cool here, I guess.

What do you think I should I do?

A few weeks?

Well, that makes it a lot more hopeful on your end, then.

I guess so.

[Maybe she just wasn't pretty enough.]

Really, the worst case scenario is that you just aren't his type, which happens. It doesn't mean that you're better or worse than this other girl, it just means you both have different qualities that might be more or less attractive to each individual person.

Is there any way to change that?

[Korra, no. Korra, stop.]

...Really, this sort of thing isn't worth changing yourself for.

[Who said anything about change her? Maybe she should change him. However the more she thinks about it, and the more she listens to other people, the more it looks like she'll be painted as the bad-guy. And she's the Avatar. She can't be the bad-guy.]

Maybe in another life.
