[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?

Might want to work on your filters, first off.

This is my first time using this thing.

...And that's what you ask first?

[Wow, Korra.]

I already got the whole Lab Rats blah, blah, blah deal.

...Right.

[New Feathers.]

Okay, you want advice? Don't be an idiot. You're both stuck here, so you're going to get the chance to know her. Take it.

I'm not saying she isn't-

Look, that's what I'm going to try to do, but- [It's just so much harder now, knowing she's actually nice.]

But you can't stop being jealous long enough to give her a fair shot?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with her.

[Is it something wrong with Korra? Was she not pretty enough?]

If you really think that, what's the problem?

All that doesn't make my feelings for the guy go away.

[She can't just... stop liking someone. Can she? Is it wrong to like someone in a relationship?]

So?

[Meet Amelia. Who has zero experience with actual relationships.]

So I'm asking what I'm supposed to do! I don't know! You can't expect me to just know what to do about that.

[She's frustrated, okay.]

Pretty sure I already threw in my two c-cents there.

[Because yes, Amelia thinks it's just that simple.]

That I should give Asami a fair shot, yes, but that doesn't fix anything.

[It doesn't stop her feelings, it doesn't get what she wants, it doesn't make the problem go away.]

Why not? You were asking what you should do about her being here, right?

Either you get to know her, or you try and avoid her--and good luck doing that here.

I was asking what I should do about- [Actually, she doesn't even know anymore. She was probably just fishing for sympathy, but she hasn't found it.]

Forget it!

Easy enough for me to do. [Amelia shrugs on her end.]

You might want to figure it out soon, though. The Malnosso are pretty bad when it comes to messing around with love lives.
