( very! seriously! her right hand goes over her heart, left raised. )
Avatar's honor!
( honestly, she wouldn't have even thought to lie about something like that. it's just an evident truth - bolin's bending opened up her eyes to a whole new world of combat. that first lesson is something that'll stay with her forever. )
It is, a little. You have to realize the differences between Earthbending and Airbending if you want to master it. ( korra's eyes fall shut - she isn't exactly meditating, but she is allowing herself to relax, a little sway in her shoulders, following the breeze. ) When you Earthbend, all your power comes from your stance, right? You have to be immovable, and strong. But when it comes to Airbending, your power is in momentum — being light and flexible. It's a defensive element. It's nature is ... disconnected. Unattached to anything, which makes you weightless.
( she's trying really hard not to quote zaheer, here. her eyes crack open to see if bolin is matching her movements back and forth - regardless of if he is of isn't, a smile break across korra's face, and she drops the pose, kicking one leg out. )
But, it's also a really fun element! Enough talking, lets bend!
( hopping back up, she bounces from foot to foot, internally running through the logistics of making her lightbending behave like airbending. she could probably do it, but - it's not worth hurting someone while she experiments. )
