[Jinora moves into a spot relatively clear of snowdrifts and shifts to a basic stance. Frowning, she spends a good ten seconds adjusting her stance. Her dad told her to take her time and do it properly whenever she would airbend.
Finally, she's satisfied. Jinora begins moving in slow circular motions and starts moving her arms in circular motions too. It's not graceful like her father's bending, but it's pretty good for a four-year-old airbender-in-training.
A light gust of wind swirls around her. Heartened, Jinora moves a bit faster. Unfortunately, that means her control suffers and a large gust of wind sends snow flying. She stops, looking embarrassed.]
She's my waterbending teacher! We're s'posed to have training right now, but she said she has some special people coming to see her!
[Korra takes Jinora to a less populated area of the compound, closer to the gates. While she can see one of the White Lotus sentries peering down at them, she just ignores him.]
Really? [Korra blinks at Jinora, eyes growing wider. It had never even occurred to her to ask, with her parents and everyone else telling her she needs to stay here.]
Do you really think your daddy will let me come with you guys?
“Gran-gran”? [Korra looks curious. While she’s definitely ecstatic that her parents will be allowed to come with her, she has no clue who this new person is.]

[And then she's sulking a little.] Can't. I dunno how to air bend yet.
no subject
[She looks sympathetic.] I've been training for months and I still do it by accident a lot.
[Jinora perks up, like she has a brilliant idea.] I can show you my airbending and maybe you'll figure it out!
no subject
Show me, show me!
[Korra's practically bouncing with anticipation at this point.]

Sorry.
no subject
That was cool! We should do something else if you can make the snow fly around, too.
[Korra grabs Jinora's hand.]
Do you know how to make a snowman?
no subject
When Korra takes her hand, she looks up in surprise, then looks a bit shy again at her question.]
No. I never made one.

[Korra beams proudly and tugs Jinora along.]
Come on, come on!
no subject
Before she could dwell on it, Korra is dragging her along. Jinora follows along, giggling and trying her darndest to keep up.]

no subject
So they stand there an' look scary so you won't leave? That's mean.

[Korra's mood seems to take an abrupt downturn, making her frown down at the ground.]
I wanna see it, too.
no subject
Maybe Daddy can take you back with us! You hafta learn Airbending, right?

no subject
What about mom and dad? Are they gonna come with us?
no subject
Sure! We got lotsa room on the island for them too. Oh! And gran-gran can come with us 'cause she won't have to stay here to teach you waterbending.
no subject
Who’s Gran gran? She’s a waterbender, too?
no subject
[Thoughtfully:] She's so good, she's the Avatar's teacher! And that's you, so you know my gran-gran, right?
no subject
You mean Sifu Katara? That's your gran gran?
no subject
no subject
If she’s your gran-gran how come she doesn’t live with you all the time?
[Aren’t families supposed to stick together?]
