Eleventh Flake [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Well. Hm. This is new.

[Not the sudden chilly rush washing over her, and the return of the pleasant coolness in her gut that she now knows is the signal that her powers are returning. She's been through this twice now, and to be honest, she wasn't even going to bother doing much today, assuming she didn't get zapped off to some other city miles away like she's heard others complain about before. She was just going to go about her day, maybe make a few flurries for her pokemon to enjoy while they spent time outside, and just. Not bother with the network much.

But this time was different. Only a few minutes after she left the inn, she was accosted by a bird. And not just any bird. A rather large, elegant-looking blue bird. But instead of attacking her or her pokemon, it just sort of. Cuddled up to her.

And it still is when Elsa records this video. It's making soft cooing noises as it nuzzles the top of her head. The poor snow queen just seems absolutely bewildered, reaching up every once in a while to try and fix her mussed-up hair.]

I've... never seen a pokemon like this before. And it won't leave me alone? It's not aggressive, as you can tell, but every time I walk away, it just... keeps following me.

[And right she is. All throughout the day as she makes her usual rounds around Ecruteak and chats with residents and visitors, the Articuno is there with her, either following right behind her or perching on nearby buildings and watching over her.]

Magic.

[Duh. She hopes that's good enough; with all the talk of bending and spirits from Asami and Korra, she... assumes that regular magic isn't really a farfetched thing where they come from.]

I can manipulate snow and ice, but I don't need any sort of complicated movements to do so, like bending does.

[ardoris]

[ He at least seems to accept that. Mako crosses his arms, nodding. ]

If you're familiar with bending--are there people here who know about it?

[ Because she... doesn't look like anyone from his world, anyway. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

[repeat: you are very lucky she has no idea who you are, Mako.]

Oh, yes. Two of my very dear friends are familiar with it, though only one is able to utilize it. [A warm smile crosses her face. It's clear that she considers them very important to her.] Korra is the one able to bend, and her friend Asami Sato is here as well.

1/2

[ardoris]

[ There's a smile on his end, too. ]

Korra and Asami do kind... of...

[ wait ]

[ardoris]

They're here?

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Well! That sure does surprise Elsa a bit!]

Oh! Are they friends of yours?

[ardoris]

Friends. Yes. We've known each other for a time. A--a long time.

[ awkward. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Good thing Elsa is sort of oblivious when it comes to matters of the heart and awkwardness that may surround it. She isn't picking up on it just yet.]

Well, that's excellent! Any friend of theirs is certainly welcome to be a friend of mine.

[ardoris]

[ Good job dodging that bullet, son. Mako looks just a little more visibly relieved. ]

Thanks. Uh. I'm glad to hear it. [ how do girl. ] I'm Mako.

[defyingfrigidity]

A pleasure, Mako. I'm Elsa.

[She bows a little, but when she straightens up, she raises an eyebrow. He seems a little... awkward.]

Are you okay?
