That's okay, it's not like it matters if your forms are perfect or anything. It's all about keeping your mind and body in harmony - which...honestly can be pretty helpful around here.

[Korra pretty much relies on it. Without having meditation and all that training...she's not sure how well she would have adjusted by now.]

So what flavors do you like? You can pretty much put any syrup in this thing and turn it into a soda. Yes, including maple syrup, yes I have tried this and it's delicious.

[epitaffio]

[Sadly, Doppio's mind has never been harmonious. His body is debatable.]

Maple syrup? As in the stuff you put on waffles?... Wouldn't that be way too sweet?

[That said, he's already looking for the maple syrup.]

[bent_the_world]

[She is very quick to produce the maple syrup.]

That is literally the point. You use it in a dark cola, it's amazing. You don't use much.

[By Korra's standards, anyway. She doesn't know if it's a bear thing or what, but she has a much higher tolerance for sweet than she used to. She's pretty sure she could comfortably live on super sweet cola and meat.]

[One day, she'll learn about cola marinades.]

Berry syrups are good, too. Wow, I really do like what bears like these days...

[epitaffio]

Haha, I don't think I'm gonna have that problem. Deers are supposed to be herbivores, right? But all I ever want to eat is meat...

[A lot of it, basically all the time.]

[bent_the_world]

I think the meat thing may just be a monster thing. I don't know what the rules are for zombie deer.

[Because basically that's what he is. Who knows how it works?]

You'll start figuring out weird little monster stuff like that as you go. Like I can find my way home from basically anywhere, just on instinct. Even a place I've never been before.

[epitaffio]

Really? Wow, I could use something like that. Maybe it's because I'm kind of forgetful, but sometimes I have trouble getting to places.

[Luckily, he's been coming over here to sleep often enough that he probably won't forget where it is any time soon.]

[bent_the_world]

Some of the stuff can be helpful!

[Korra gets to work setting up the drink maker, clearly well versed in using it. She does this a lot.]

Weird little stuff you'd never think of. I have a buddy who's a Minotaur and he like never gets lost, it's so weird. He can find his way around anywhere. I can just find my way home.

I also get really defensive of this place and I guess that whole 'mama bear' thing is actually a thing.

[epitaffio]

[Huh. The bear thing makes sense. The minotaur thing... Oh, because of the legend. Something about a labyrinth.

He watches her set things up, deep in thought.]

I don't really know a lot about deers. Other than Bambi, anyway.

[bent_the_world]

I really don't, either. But there's probably some stuff to being undead that's cool? Maybe you get magic or something.

[The one thing Korra would actually kind of like. But apparently weres didn't get anything like that at all. Other than being able to turn into an animal whenever, but plenty of monsters got that.]

Oh! Hey! Maybe you can turn into a deer!

[epitaffio]

A deer? [He laughs softly.] I'm not sure what good that would be... People already pick on me enough as it is.
