Festival (Closed RP)
“Thank you for staying with Taka, at least. I don’t know what I’d do if you were out here alone.” Desna said, gently rubbing her back with one hand.
“We can talk about this when we get back to Republic City. Until then, we should get back and go to sleep so we can enjoy the festival tomorrow.” Eska said, wrapping her arms around Taka and hugging her tight. “Don’t ever run off like that again, do you understand?”
Festival (Closed RP)
“You shouldn’t have come here.” Desna held on to Siku tight, but not tight enough to hurt her. He climbed out of the tree and carried her over to Korra, Taka, and Eska.
“She told me she followed a spirit here. I don’t see what other reason she had for coming here.” Korra told them. “Still, it’s no excuse.”
“You’re right, it is no excuse.” Eska said, kneeling down to Taka’s height. “You two had all of us worried. You’re safe, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re in trouble.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“I’m family first -- Korra first. Avatar second.” Korra said, standing up straight and patting Taka on the head. She turned to see two identical figures emerging from the Southern spirit portal and waved.
Eska immediately ran over with Desna. “Where is Siku? You said she was here too!”
“She’s in the tree, she’s fine, it’s okay.” Korra said to Eska, trying to get her to calm down, though she understood the reason for panic.
Desna immediately went over to the tree and climbed in to find Siku there with a few spirits, waiting patiently for their arrival. “At least you’re alright.” He mumbled, going over to pick her up.
Festival (Closed RP)
“Lighten up, yeah?” Korra stopped just before they got close enough to the tree. She let go of Taka’s hand and got to a kneeling position so she was close to being eye-level with Taka. “I’ll just.. tell your mom that you saw a spirit and followed it here. Maybe you won’t be in too much trouble then.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“It’s settled then.” Korra said. After shaking Taka’s hand, she adjusted her grip so she was holding on to it. Then, she began walking back in the direction of the portals, occasionally peeking down to look at Taka. She couldn’t help but wonder why Taka was so interested in seeing the spirit library.
Festival (Closed RP)
Korra let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Alright, I’ll try not to keep you waiting for too long. Come here, you.” She walked over to Taka and held out a hand. “Siku is waiting and we’ll have to wait there until your mom and uncle get here.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“I have no reason to lie to you.” Korra dug her heels into the ground and came to a stop a few feet away from Taka. “I’ll talk to your mom and see how she would feel about coming with us, but if she doesn’t want to I promise I’ll find the time to bring you here myself.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“Whatever it is can wait!” Korra shouted, following Taka as quickly as possible. Man, was that one fast little eight-year old. Then it hit her that the most notable thing in the spirit world that Taka could possibly know about was the spirit library. “I don’t think a trip to the library is worth this much trouble! Let’s leave now and I can bring you back one day when I have the bending to protect you if things get nasty!”
Festival (Closed RP)
Korra heard the noise followed by the scream and it certainly startled her, though it didn’t stop her from running in the direction of the noise. “Taka, you’re going to get lost and I don’t think your mom would be happy about that!”
Festival (Closed RP)
“I know you’re out here somewhere.” Korra stopped to take a deep breath, remembering how easily a bad mood could affect the spirit world. She walked slower, eyes scanning the area for the child. “I’m not mad, you know. We’re just worried because you guys ran off without telling us where.”
send me “look at me while I’m talking to you” for a starter with your muse scolding mine for something they did, and my muse avoiding confrontation
Festival (Closed RP)
Korra set Siku down and immediately set off in the direction Taka had gone. She walked a bit into the forest before calling out to her. “If this is some kind of game it isn’t a very fun game! You probably really hurt Siku’s feelings, now come out so we can get you home!”
“Desna, let’s go.” Eska called back to her brother from the restaurant’s entrance. She walked out and made her way off in the direction of the spirit portals. Desna nodded and caught up with her shortly.
Festival (Closed RP)
“Taka, that was so not cool!” Korra grunted, falling to the ground with Siku in her arms. She’d managed to catch a glimpse of the direction which Taka ran, but she was more concerned for the child she was still holding. “Siku, are you hurt?”
Siku was more drenched with water than anything else, very close to crying and confused about what Taka was trying to accomplish. “Where did she go?”
“I’m going to find out.” Korra said, sitting up and eventually standing up. She lifted Siku again and carried her back towards the large tree that sat between the portals. “I need you to be brave and watch the tree for me, can you do that? The spirits will watch it with you, but it’s important that you stay here.”
Siku sniffled and wiped her eyes with her already-wet sleeve and nodded.
“Thank the spirits the sky is clear tonight.” Desna said. He wrapped his arms around Aiko and hugged her, then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “We’ll move as fast as we can. Try and eat something, please? You haven’t eaten much today.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“Korra!” Siku jumped up after a second and ran up to hug Korra.
“Hey, come on.” Korra smiled, lifting Siku up into her arms. She walked to the trunk of the tree to get a better view of Taka. “I’m more than just the avatar to you, you know. I got here through meditation but you shouldn’t be here.”
“The only one getting grounded is Taka. She’s still young but she’s old enough to understand that going off like that is dangerous.” Eska stretched just a bit before looking down at her cousin. “Are you sure we should just leave Korra here while she’s meditating? Aiko, maybe you should stay behind.”
“We didn’t think that through. I agree with Eska, though. Aiko, would you be alright here with Korra?” Desna asked, sliding out of the booth and stretching a bit himself.
Festival (Closed RP)
Siku turned around too quickly and fell back off of the entrance to the tree. It didn’t hurt her as much as it did shock her and she stayed down on her back for a minute trying to recover from falling. “Korra’s here?”
Back in the spirit world, Korra began approaching the tree slowly, but when she saw Siku fall she immediately ran over to help. “I’m here because you guys shouldn’t be here. I’m so happy you two are okay but your parents are worried sick about you. Literally!”
“I was the one that told Siku to stay with Taka.” Desna said.
“I just don’t understand what goes through Taka’s mind when she goes and does things like this. Usually I catch her before she can sneak off but this time..” Eska sighed. She lifted her head up and got out of the booth. “We have to go get them, though. Remember Korra can only stay with them until they exit the spirit world, then they’re alone again.”
Festival (Closed RP)
“Lots of snow..cold.” Siku mumbled. She wasn’t too used to the cold climate of either of the Water Tribes. After all, she hadn’t lived near them long enough to get used to it. She stared intensely at the spirit, silently making connections to it and what a real tree looked like.
“Aiko, please.” Eska lifted her head, though she never turned her head to look at Aiko. “They would have made a scene before someone could even touch them. We should trust that wherever they are, they’re safe.” After that, she lowered her head and closed her eyes. She was only half-pretending that she wasn’t so worried; deep down she was terrified for both Taka and Siku.
Korra, with the help of a few different spirits, made it to the spirit portals relatively quickly. She stood close to the Southern spirit portal and her eyes scanned the area until she spotted Siku sitting just at the entrance to the Tree of Time. When she got confirmation that they were there and safe, she came to in the physical world. “They’re in the spirit world near the portals. I’m gonna meditate back in to distract them while you guys travel to the portal here.”
Festival (Closed RP)
Siku spotted the spirit approaching them and her attention was immediately on it. She remained seated on the edge of the tree’s entrance, though leaned in just a bit to get a closer look at it. When it spoke, she was amazed; she didn’t think spirits could speak. “What kinda spirit are you?”
Eska ate just a bit more than Aiko did, mainly because of how stressed she was. She managed to get halfway through her bowl of noodles before sighing in defeat, pushing it forward, and putting her head down.
On the floor next to the table, Korra had just made it into the spirit world and was already on her way towards the portals and such. She had a plan in mind and that was to spot Siku and Taka from a distance, leave the spirit world and tell her cousins to head to the portals, and then re-enter to keep Siku and Taka from straying too far.
