There are, yes. Nearly two hundred. It's a small village hidden away. Many of the people are bigger adults and they go out into the ruins around us to hunt for food. I do it, too. But we all know how to keep ourselves hidden when we do that, so just because we do, it doesn't mean you get to. You only just go here and your lessons aren't supposed to keep you here long enough to learn that.
So promise me you won't go past the houses, okay? And if you can, you need to stay close to this one. We're in house twenty.
[Hunt for food? That’s pretty different from what she was imagining for a training camp, but she can go along with it. She does feel a little sad that she can’t join him and the other adults, though.]
What if I want to talk to the other people? [She wants to meet everybody else, too!]
It's okay if you talk to other people, but be careful you don't end up talking to them too long. They're here to learn and train as much as you are. And since I'm your teacher, you need to stay close to me for lessons.
And if any of the people out there make you feel scared or unsure of anything, I need you to promise you won't try to fight them or yell at them. You come find me, instead and I'll take care of it. I know you can do a lot, but your parents have entrusted me with your safety and part of that is not taking risks you don't need to. Not yet, away. Maybe after you've learned enough about fire we can go find a cliff to jump off of. Maybe.
[Mrrrr. Jumping off of cliffs doesn’t sound as fun as meeting other people, but since Wan said it’s okay… Korra nods, already thinking of all the people she might make friends with! Some of them might even want to play!]
Okay! I’ll be extra, extra careful. I don’t want to mess up my friends’ training!

Good. Now. That bunk above me that you woke up on? That's your bunk. But, if you want, you can come down and sleep with me. I don't mind the company.

I sleep with mom and dad sometimes, but they’re not here… Is it really okay if I sleep here?
