[...This book is so, so weird. She's still not comfortable talking into the thing and she's only done it twice so far. But, might as well leap right into the fire. Being impulsive isn't quite her thing, but hesitating isn't either]

Is this working...? Yeah, I think so- Good evening everyone. I just arrived yesterday and I thought I should introduce myself; my name's Asami. [...] And... if anyone wants to help me with a few things I'd really appreciate that.

[She's sure the people in the Avatar cast could help her with most of these too, but she's imposing enough by having slept in Sokka's room last night (reducing him to the couch) and she needs to figure out a few things here like somewhere else to stay, new wardrobe, her gauntlet, all that stuff.]

Other than that, does anyone like sports? I'm fond of racing and probending, myself.

[...there, that's a conversation starter too.

Bonus Action: While she's looking for people to do it with her, either way she'll be hitting up All Passions, the Item Shop, looking for a room in Community Building 5, and surveying the houses around the Avatar House (56)]

Oh... I wonder if that's at all like- well no, you wouldn't be born with it the way benders are.

It... depends, honestly. In my world, humans are occasionally born with powers similar to Psychic-type Pokemon, and they usually specialize in Psychic-types. That's really the only case of that I can think of, however.

[...She should explain] In my world [...still weird to say] there are people who are born with the ability to manipulate the elements. They're called benders - there are ones for each element. Water, fire, earth, and air.

Ahh, so that's what all that is, then? I've heard a little bit about it, but I never really got a good explanation. That sounds... really fascinating, to be honest.

[tell him more about earthbending okay]

It is very neat. [She smiles to herself. She's a non-bender, but she's a pro-bending fan, it's only natural she'd be interested] A master bender's really a sight to be seen when they're in action.

Well, I know I'd certainly like to see that.

A bunch of the people I'm staying with are masters but... it's not really my place to ask them to demonstrate or anything.

Perhaps an excuse for that sort of thing should be arranged, then...

Like what? [Something about that struck her as odd. Not sure what]

Well, what's this "probending" you were talking about?

It's a sport where benders compete against each other. It's a really exciting game but... I don't think we actually have enough benders to play a match here. You need one firebender, one waterbender, and one earthbender on each team.

Really? That's a shame. If it were possible, I'd certainly love to see it.

...Though, what about airbenders?

...Ah. [...Man that's awkward to think about how no one from her world would know it. She considers a moment as to if it's her place, which is weird, because it's ancient history to her. But it's deeply personal for Aang. In the end, history wins out] That's because there's only four airbenders in the world right now. ...Maybe five, but the last one is an infant, so we can't be sure if he's a bender or not.

...Ah.

[...he doesn't inquire further, because the implications behind that are a lot heavier than he wants to deal with during a casual conversation.]

That... would explain it.

[A noise of confirmation. It does, and it's not really her conversation or a conversation she wants to have right now so ... quick into being here. She's at a loss for a topic change though, so she considers it letting to go now]
