Date & Time: 1/6, late morning
Location: Galadriel's house
Characters: Korra, Galadriel, Celeborn, Celebrian
Summary: A hiccup in the lesson plan, and meeting her trainer's family
Warnings: Mentions of post trauma and nightmares


With all the moving and exploring that's been happening since most of the Transports vacated the moon base, Korra's completely neglected the medical training she started with Galadriel before. Time to change that, she thinks. At least she isn't the only one who's been distracted by this snowier, unfamiliar Exsilium.

There's things she can actually do in this wintery landscape--a lot more than could on the moon base--but that doesn't mean she can't still learn and help while she's here. With that in mind, Korra sets out for Galadriel's home.

"She is?" Korra doesn't even bother lowering her voice or hiding her shock. Once she manages to close her mouth, she points at Celebrian and at the doorway toward another room, where she assumes Galadriel might be.

"But--! She looks way too young. I mean, you guys look almost the same age!" It's then that she realises she doesn't actually know how old Galadriel is, but there's something extremely fishy going on here...

Bri tries to contain her laughter, she does, but it's hard. It's always funny to see how people react to learning that little fact. It's soft though, her laugh, and more amused than anything else.

"I assure you, she is my mother. Elves tend to live a very long time." Forever.

[braavado]

"Elves? Is that what you and Galadriel are?"

It's a term that Korra hasn't heard before, and she's intrigued. Hah, she'd known there was some kind of spiritual, unearthly feeling around Galadriel!

[ladyofrivendell]

"And my father."

She nods towards Celeborn, whose hair was the same silver shade as her own. It's no surprise if Korra noticed something different about them. It's hard not to.

[braavado]

This time, Korra does look at them much more closely, though her scrutiny is neither rude nor accusing, simply curious. She gives up when she can't pinpoint the source of the different feeling.

"Does being an elf automatically make you graceful and elegant?" Her hand slaps over her mouth a second too late. "Uhh y-you don't have to answer that. Unless you want to."

She might be horrified she'd said that out loud, but, seriously. The parent and daughter trio have a certain air about them that sets them apart from everyone else Korra's met.

[ladyofrivendell]

Korra! She's laughing again, made all the better by how quickly she tries to cover her mouth, how horrified she seems. But Celebrian's laugh is light and just genuinely humored rather than cruel, taking only a moment or two to subside.

"Perhaps not automatically but yes. I promise you, I was very clumsy and reckless as a child. I came home with my dresses torn and muddied more often than my parents could stand."

It probably didn't help that she was often running off and playing rough with some of the elflings at times or when her father didn't object to her wearing a dress while horseback riding.

[braavado]

That actually makes her feel a lot better. She'd already felt somewhat inadequate in front of Asami, but being in Celebrian and Galadriel's presence amplifies that feeling by several times. Being told Celebrian was just as reckless as Korra probably was in her childhood knocks away the barrier that had almost gone up between them.

Korra relaxes marginally. "At least you wore dresses," she says, joining Celebrian in her laughter. "I just wore...well, pretty much what I'm wearing now. It was a lot more comfortable when I was running around."

[ladyofrivendell]

"My parents were Lord and Lady of Eregion and later Lothlorien, so I was often given dresses. So at least I dressed appropriately when I misbehaved. They did learn in time."

And she did make quite a sight when she was behaved, a young silver hair child dressed in the light flowing dresses her mother would choose for her.

"Don't let us intimidate you. Whatever we are, we are not unapproachable."
