Right. And they... bend earth. Remind me not to invite them to L.A.

[Don't worry if that went over your head, Tarrlok. It was a regional joke.]

[Yup, he definitely doesn't get it, beyond understanding that L.A. is a place of some sort, and the confusion shows in his raised eyebrow.]

Why? What's it like in L.A.?

Haven't been myself, but it's where all of the pretty people go to be pretty in front of a camera. That's not the point, though. It's on a fault line, and L.A. is famous for earthquakes.

Ah, I see. That sounds like a hazardous place to live. How frequent are the earthquakes?

[He can't recall ever dealing with more than a mild tremor that wasn't directly caused by a nearby earthbender, but people do come from many different worlds here.]

Frequent enough that they act like it's no big deal when one happens.

[If the earth moved for her, it was usually a bad thing. Like... undead ninja shit.]

That's pretty frequent.

[And sounds like a nightmare to deal with, in terms of infrastructure and urban planning.]

Fortunately, benders aren't very powerful as children. It grows with age and experience, so usually by the point it could be a problem, they've had sufficient training that it's not an issue.

Wait, what? Kids? Kids have abilities like making earthquakes? Jesus...

[Low-powered or not, she couldn't imagine living in a place where kids were born with the equivalent of a small handgun that could go off at any time.]

They don't make earthquakes on purpose. I believe the first techniques young earthbenders learn involve learning how to move rocks about the size of their head around without just picking it up. A small rumble might happen by accident if they had poor control.

[He shrugs a bit, as if it's no big deal.]

Being a waterbender, I can't speak from personal experience, of course.

A what? You bend water?

[She stopped mid shuffle, giving him an incredulous look.]

That's just a thing, huh? Where you come from? Bending things?
