Welcome to Gaia! ::

Korra had intended on trying to find a way home sooner than later. But sooner continued to be the next day, she felt guilty leaving the nice elderly woman who had taken her in and given her work to help pay of lodging and food. Though the woman had told her she didn't have to pay her back she still was working hard at her little food establishment. Helping tend to patrons by serving them drinks or food. Her hair was getting longer and she was forced to tie it back, new clothes were given to her for while she was working and she felt like she was getting a handle on the rushes that would occur time to time.

Not that she noticed but she was well liked by the locals, she was friendly and hard working despite the fact everyone quickly discovered her ability to get lost when asked to go on errands. Everyone in the village was more than mindful and always guided Korra along so she never got too lost.

Wiping her forehead with a arm as she finished cleaning up the tables and chairs for the morning rush. The fact she was such a positive girl earned her a few regulars who just enjoyed her fresh attitude. Today was another day...another day she wasn't getting ready to head back home...

Moving back and forth to take care of customers was her job, but during the busier times of the day she found herself almost overwhelmed. She was lucky however that she didn't work alone. Taking a small breather she wiped the beads of sweat that had begun to gather on her forhead, she spotted in the corner of her eyes a shifter who had sat down but hadn't been attended to yet.

Although she was suppose to go on break now she felt obligated to make sure that no customer get left behind. Moving over she gave the customer a large smile.

"How may I hel...p...MIRIN?" Korra nearly shouted out the girls name in surprise and alarm. It drew several heads in their direction and Korra felt a bit flustered as she hadn't expected to see her child hood friend sitting there. Staring at her for several long seconds as if trying to compute what she saw she quickly slipped into the seat opposite her.

"OH MY GOSH!" she managed in a hushed yet still loud whisper, "It is you!! how are you?!"

As excited as Korra was to see Mirin it also made her aware of how silly it seemed to admit to the girl she was only working here because she got lost and hadn't been able to find her way back home despite trying countless times. The radaku that seemed only partial wild would always seem to find her and direct her back to this village. Perhaps it was the only one it knew about, perhaps too it was a creature of habit.

"Ah.....hey you look like your starving, give me a second I'll get you something wonderful to eat." Korra stammered slightly as she rushed to get up and quickly went to the kitchen. True she was enjoying her time here, but she missed her fathers, and her cousins and seeing Mirin only made her more aware of that fact. Asking if it was alright for her to take a quick break she grabbed a plate of food and a snack for the little sailscale before moving back to the table. She felt nervous suddenly like she was going to be lectured but she placed the food down in front of her friend before slipping in on the opposite side of the table before fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

"Ah...so you said your training that little guy? What's its name?" She inquired trying to end the awkwardness between them by directing the conversation away from the sheer fact she was indeed still a lost cause when it came to her sense of direction.

Korra blushed at the question, after all she was only taking a break was it really okay if she ate along side her friend? Ah what the heck, by the looks her boss were giving her it seemed like she was being encouraged.

Reaching forward Korra took something small and light to nibble on, she wasn't hungry but it was nice sharing a meal with someone she knew.

"Your training her?" Korra mused thoughtfully, wondering if Mirin could offer any tips on trying to tame a feral Radaku. Though ...Nevaj didn't really want to be trained she just followed Korra around and brought her back to villages when she got lost.

"Do you think a feral radaku is dangerous?" She inquired carefully as she also didn't want to risk getting her wild animal rescuer in any danger. "I mean..I have one following me around every time I leave this village....and she always guides me back here when I get...well you know..lost?" Korra tried to laugh off her embarrassment but her red face betrayed just how embarrassed she was.
