masters of the earth / listening and waiting for / the exact moment

[roc_on]

Beila will need to practice more to be truly a master of waterbending, but she knows the technique, now, and the rest is application she can practice on her own time. The nuns find her an earthbending teacher.

She goes to Dao's house after her first earthbending lesson. "Shifu Riko is a strange person," she remarks.

"Well, I know which one I wanna see."

[roc_on]

"Enlighten me."

[thinklikethis]

"The horror one?"

[roc_on]

"The horror one it is." She buys the tickets and limps into the correct part of the theater with him.

[thinklikethis]

He plops into a seat and hugs her.

[roc_on]

Hugs.

The movie starts after about fifteen minutes, and it is gory and horrifying.

[thinklikethis]

It is!

It makes Dao squirm a bit.

[roc_on]

Beila thinks that's very cute. She squeezes his hand.

[thinklikethis]

He blushes. And squeezes back.

[roc_on]

And eventually the movie is over. (A lot of characters are dead now, but there was a B-plot about some others who can be used in the next sequel if they make one.)

[thinklikethis]

"That was fun," says Dao.

[roc_on]

"Yes. We should find someplace to go make out. Which is not too far away because my legs are still not in full working order."

[thinklikethis]

"Is 'somebody's house' too far?"

[roc_on]

"I can get Liqing, I suppose. Pick a house," she says, wobbling out of the theater and whistling.

[thinklikethis]

"Yours is nicer," he laughs.

[roc_on]

"Okay." When her bird appears, Beila flies them to her house and doesn't bother going down through the roof, just gives Liqing a treat and flings her arms around Dao for makeouts.

[thinklikethis]

Makeouts! Rooftop makeouts!

[roc_on]

Post-gory-movie makeouts.

[thinklikethis]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees. Those.

[roc_on]

She thought he'd like that.

[thinklikethis]

She was right! She was very right.

[roc_on]

Good. She likes being right.

[thinklikethis]

She is right pretty often!

[roc_on]

Yep! It's a good thing she has a taste for it. Mmmmkisses.

[thinklikethis]

Kisses kisses kisses. On the roof.
