fuse_boxWHO: Korra & Ishida
WHAT: Korra’s started training with Toph in the swamp, but her sifu’s other student doesn’t seem to like her much.
[When given the choice between meditating on the nature of the swamp and finding mushrooms for dinner, Korra immediately volunteered to find dinner. Not because she hates meditating — she's actually quite eager to learn how to really listen to the energy in the swamp — but because ANYTHING is better than spending one more minute in Mr. Know-It-All's company.
Mr. Know-It-All, aka Ishida Uryuu, a young man already training with Toph in the swamp, even though he's not a bender. Korra still hasn't figured out why; he just glares when she asks, and Toph tells her to mind her own business. Korra doesn't get why it's such a weird question. But evidently not only is it a dumb question, it's downright offensive. From pretty much the first moment Korra asked him, Ishida has been curt, almost rude, and frigidly cold. Also super judgey. If Korra didn't need Toph's help so much, she'd leave. She has better things to do than deal with jerks.
Unfortunately, she does need Toph's help, and so she has to content herself with mushrooms.]

She's not emotionally ready to deal with Equalist crap. That whole thing was supposed to be over and done with years ago.]

For instance, you haven't been helping with these mushrooms, despite being perfectly capable.
