[ it is on this particular day that rose finally stumbles upon korra in person, awhile after their conversation over the communication device. and... ???!?! what on earth (ha, get it, earth) is she doing.

rose actually stumbles, having let her guard down, but she manages to catch herself before she trips over a sudden crack in the ground. she does sort of end up in korra's personal space, though. oops? ]

Wh-Whoa... ! Hey, hey, is this that elemental training you'd been talking about? You didn't mention anything about, I dunno, shaping the actual earth!

[ rose isn't as startled as she is because korra is doing something so inconceivable, actually-- it's not like she hasn't seen this before. she's as startled as she is because it's a human who's doing it. rose has only ever seen an earth seraph move rocks like that (and rose herself, as long as she's fused with said earth seraph), and korra has made it very clear that she is not, in fact, a seraph. it's sort of mesmerizing, seeing her move so effortlessly. ]

-- Sorry. Uh. It's been awhile? I didn't expect to meet in person so suddenly, so...

[ rose flashes her a cheeky smile, admittedly a little embarrassed. ]
