[A broad smile is on Korra’s face when she turns on the video feed. She’s leaning to one side of the chair and looking pleased as punch.]
I’ll be reopening the dojo in the Wood Sector and I need some teachers, mentors, instructors- whatever you want to call yourselves, to teach people that want to learn. Any fighting style will do, but if it’s martial arts; then all the better.
If you’re interested in lessons, get in touch with me here or privately. I don't know how much lessons are going to be yet, but I'll try to keep it low.
[There's a pause where Korra considers her next words and her smile fades a little.]
If you're half as good as Dinah Lance is [Not was.] then I need to talk you.
[Four months of training with Dinah isn't enough for Korra. She wants to dig in further into the various styles she was mastering, and this is the only way she knows of to find someone that can help her do just that.]

I wouldn't call it a fight... More like two men who couldn't hold their liquor.
[Okay, no. But it's as good an excuse as any. He chuckles.]
We were both considerably younger then.
video;
FIGHTphysical altercation?WEIRD.]
Did you win? [It's so a fight to her, and Korra's grin isn't hiding that one bit.]
video;
Hardly. Glass jaw.
video;
Why don't you come to the dojo and I'll help you change that.
[She'll make a fighter out of you yet, Bruce Wayne.]
video;
I don't think any amount of teaching could change my complete inability to defend myself.
video;
[Smirk.]
Maybe I can teach you that Dinah Lance right hook.
[The more he resists, the pushier she gets.]
video;
[Korra you may be an unstoppable force but Bruce is an immovable object, so good luck with that.]
She'd laugh in my face at the attempt. I'm not sure it'd be good for my ego.
video;
How about just some of the basics; some self-defense just in case. Free of charge. [That sure is a wink accompanying that last statement. Like the money was really a factor.]
video;
I'm a billionaire. Of course I have an ego.
[To that next part, though, his mouth twitches upwards.]
I'd prefer not, if it's all the same to you.
video;
Don't want to put the work into it? You could always just hire a-
I don't know... bodyguard? [Who has two thumbs and is pointing at herself? This Avatar.
Yes, she's bantering with one of the two richest men on the turtle.]
video;
Are you volunteering?
video;
...sure. Why not. I'm supposed to be protecting everyone anyway.
video;
I was joking. I can't even begin to fathom the sort of situation I'd need to find myself in in order to necessitate a bodyguard.
video;
[Casual shrug. It's Keeliai, could happen. Not like Bruce could really stop a super powered being from doing what they wanted.]
video;
You are alarmingly pessimistic, you know.
video;
Door's open if you ever want to swing by the dojo, Mr Wayne. [Why are all her talks with him always a delight?]
video;
[He's teasing, of course.]
I may do that. What could it hurt? Besides every bone in my body.
video;
[She’ll tease right back.]
Don’t worry. If they get broken, I can heal them right back up. [No, her grin isn’t fake. Korra’s heart’s right there on her Water Tribe armlet.] Sparring’s actually fun, you should try it sometime.

[His tone is so dry.]

[And don't mind him he is going to launch into the world's most animated and in-depth discussion of golf, all its rules, regulations, the purpose and point of the game, the scoring system, the types of clubs used for each stroke, the courses, the people that carry your bags-- literally. The whole nine yards. It probably takes him several minutes of thoughtful blathering because Bruce Wayne fucking loves golf. And then he finishes with,]
Sadly, my skills are abysmal. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
video;
We could do that. All you need are golf balls and clubs, right? [She’s convinced the kedan can make anything.]
But there’s got to be something you’re good at. [Before he can even start:] Aside from business stuff.
video;
[Avatar, and all.]
And-- hm? Well. It depends on your definition of 'good at'.
video;
How’s your mahjong skills? [She asks slowly with a small smile playing on her pursed lips.]
video;
Oh, they're up to par, I suppose. I spent several years in Japan, where it's fairly common among businessmen. I was never amazing at it, but someone has to be the loser.
