Bolin and Korra sat in the shadow cast by the statue of the man who founded Cabbage Corp. Korra really wanted to spend some time away from Air Temple Island today. She was getting increasingly more frustrated at her inability to airbend and she didn't think she could take one more day of Mako and Asami rubbing their noses together and calling each other 'sweetie'.
"Urgh, I'm so bored!" complained Korra as she dropped her head to her knees
"Do you want to practise Earthbending with me? I haven't been training as much as I should have recently…" suggested Bolin
Korra's head lifted when she heard this and Bolin saw a smile on her face that he hadn't seen too often recently "Ok, at least I can actually bend this element" She said the last part a bit harshly as she got up and took up her stance. Bolin looked at her confused
"You want to spar here?" He asked looking around at the empty street
"Come on Bo, there's no-one here, and it's not like we can use the gym at the arena anymore" she reminded him and he took up a stance as well.
They started off throwing rocks at each other and being grateful that no-one was out on the street to get hit by them. Korra was really good at 'being the leaf' as Meelo and Tenzin put it so she was able to dodge the rocks with ease.
Bolin wasn't able to land a hit on her while she was spinning like that so he earthbended a large hole beneath her for her to get stuck in. Korra was able to jump out of the way just in time before the ground opened up where she was standing seconds before.
Amused at Bolin's tactics, Korra used waterbending to collect water from a nearby grate. When she had enough she sent it at him but aimed for his feet.
Bolin was suddenly stuck to the ground. He looked down at his feet which were now frozen with ice.
"No fair!" He protested as he looked up at her but was greeted by a large rock. Was that rock coming closer?
Bolin manage to flip himself backwards awkwardly as the rock flew above his face missing him by less than an inch. He heard a large crash and when Korra had removed the ice he turned around to see what the rock had hit.
The statue of the Cabbage Merchant.
The Cabbage Merchants cart to be precise.
At the large noise a man had run out of a nearby building, his gaze fell of the statue of a man- but no cart. He put two and two together and turned on Korra and Bolin. "What are you kids doing!" he demanded but Korra just gave him a sheepish grin before grabbing Bolin's wrist and running.
The wind whistled in their ears as they ran away from the man yelling at them to come but back, Korra thought she could her something else.
Something that sounded faintly like "My cabbages!"
