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.]
[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.

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