[ and if there's something to be said for korra, it's that she pays very close attention when someone is explaining the finer points of a sport to her. she might not know much about baseball yet but she's already a fan. ]

How many people are on a team? Is this a non-bending sport? How many points can you score in a game? Actually, how long does the game run?

[ SPORTS!!! ]

The only sports I've ever played are pro-bending and kuai ball — this is nothing like them.

[starspangled]

[And it's already the best date he's ever had. If only they were all so easy.]

Twenty-five on the active roster. I'm not sure what a non-bending sport means though...are you talking about gymnastics?

[But the questions keep coming ("As many runs as you can score.") and Steve tries to answer accordingly ("Nine innings.")]

Those sound like fun. How do you play them?

[ there's a 100% chance that this date will end with korra bullying steve into giving her a practical lesson in how to play. there's probably some sports stuff at the station that she'll be more than happy to purchase. ]

Right — heh, I keep forgetting, sorry. Bending is the coolest thing ever, there's fire and air — [ and in one hand, korra summons a small flame that hovers just above her palm; in the other, there's a tiny cyclone of wind ] — along with earth and water. [ and that's when she dismisses the two elements in her hands and instead lifts the ice from their drinks with her waterbending. ] I'll... pass on showing you earthbending since that would involve ripping up the ground beneath us.

[ and with a lopsided grin, korra launches into an explanation of pro-bending: ]

We use three elements, earth fire and water, and there are two teams in a match. Each match is won by gaining all your opponent's territory. Each round lasts three minutes and there are three rounds in a match — unless you knock the other team out in one go, then the match is over.

I think... I heard someone talking about volleyball a little while ago? And that's sorta like kuai ball, if I remember right.

[starspangled]

Oh-

[As in, "he owes Fury another ten dollars" because a girl with fire and tornadoes in the palm of her hand definitely surprises him, no matter what he's seen and been through.]

Sounds intense. Do you have enough to play here?

[sangilak]

[ mako will take your ten dollars, cap ]

I think so? There's me, Mako, Bolin and I'm sure we can find some other people who can manipulate the elements to come play with us.

[ she flashes her teeth in a grin ]

You wanna come watch if we ever get it all figured out?

[starspangled]

Front and center. And you'll know me, I'll be the guy who's cheering for your team the loudest.

[sangilak]

[ leans forward on her elbows (don't do that, it's rude!!), korra smirks ]

You sure you can drown out Bolin's fangirls? He's got kind of a lot of them.
