[ They're sitting! Cool. Bolin had a very unconventional training background that started with Mako and him trying everything they could until they got it. When he finally did find a consistent Earthbending teacher it was Toza, and Toza taught him to be both strong and quick on his feet. It was often a trial by fire, as Earthbending training tends to go. He's had to dodge so many incoming rocks and carry so many heavy ones. Somehow, he didn't expect an Airbending lesson to start with some simple talking, but given how much meditating he's seen the Airbenders do? Maybe he should have.

It dawns a little on Bolin that he might have to become more spiritually sensitive. That's going to be new.

He was certainly waiting for some talk about being 'one with the world', or something else he's very unlikely to understand, but Korra suddenly praises him instead. ]

Wait. Do you really mean that? [ That he's the first to teach her something new. That's such an honor, he's speechless for a second. Before he learned to Lavabend he would always feel like he was living in Mako's shadow; he was the guy who couldn't Metalbend no matter how hard he tried, and his Earthbending skills weren't even anything special. This might be the biggest ego boost he's had since he suddenly discovered his Lavabending. ]

That's -- Wow. I didn't think it was really that special. [ And now he's over the moon??? ] Is that what Airbending's about?
