( she laughs, a little more put at ease. bolin managed to evade her temporary rage about katara, so he's subject to a good few, well meant jabs.
at the question, she releases an inquisitive trill. )
About what? Katara? ( she lets out a hum. honestly, it's a lot of really hard to describe, oxymoron feelings. sad in her happiness, confusion in her surety. ultimately, she settles back on her usual korra ways. ) Mm, yeah. It's fine.
( a lot of it just - sucks, to think about. at katara's age, korra was mastering earthbending, stuck in her water tribe compound, dreaming of the world outside whenever she'd become a full fledged avatar. avatar aang was even younger when he defeated firelord ozai, which korra knew, but. seeing twelve years old on paper is different than meeting a fourteen year old girl who helped carry the world back from the brink of untimely destruction. it's a lot to think about. how okay is it that it could've been katara having her bending ripped away by amon, or aang fighting off vaatu at harmonic convergence? those kids shouldn't have been in that position, but they were called upon and had to answer the siren's shriek of destiny.
it doesn't mean korra has to be happy about it, though. at fourteen, her biggest concern was how far she could take naga out of the wild winter expanse, something that almost tasted like freedom.
