"Keep your legs further apart Korra. NO YOUR LEFT ONE! NOT THE RIGHT!"

A sigh escaped the tired face of Larik, his brown face falling down to hide his face as he shook his head in a clear sign of frustration before pushing it back with his left hand.

He was holding his 'tome' in his other hand, his elbow resting on his knee as he was sitting on one of the benches that was outside of the temple, on a page that depicted several stances commonly used by the near extinct air benders.

"I am trying you know." Korra calls back towards him, her face a mixture of frustration and fatigue. The two of them had been going at this for hours now and the sky had started to go dark with the passing of time.

"Well I suggest you try harder then otherwise we'll be here all night." Larik replies bitterly, his tired mind getting more and more impatient with Korra's inability to understand a simple set of instructions.

Well, simple for him anyway.

Larik would be the first one to say that he is human just like the rest of his friends but he does possess the ability to stay calm for a long period of time in comparison. That being said though even some things could get under his skin, like now.

He briefly caught sight of Zyphia and Kassuq walking together, the three friends waving towards each other before Larik lost sight of them. He had started to notice that they did these walks regularly, whether to talk or not he didn't know but it was... odd.

Returning his attention back to Korra he was about to shout out another flaw in her stance before the soothing cheerful music that had previously been playing in the yard had abruptly stopped in the middle of its chorus, catching his attention.

A quick glance at Korra told him that she had noticed it too, though she still attempted to work on her stance even though her mind was elsewhere.

The static that had replaced the song faded out as a gravelly deep voice started to speak, his familiar vocals telling the two friends who was speaking.

"Good evening my fellow Equalists. This is your leader, Amon." The voice begins, confirming Larik's suspicions. Korra now had dropped her stance as soon as the name Amon had been said.

"As you have heard, the Republic council has voted to making me public enemy number one, proving once again that the bending oppressors of the city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution. " The Equalist continued.

Sweat started to drip from Larik's face, even though he hadn't moved from his spot in the last hour, the tension of Amon's 'speech' holding him completely.

"But we cannot be stopped. Our numbers grow stronger by the day. You no longer have to live in fear."

Larik turned his head to notice that there was an odd expression on Korra's face; something that he did not recognise yet seemed familiar to him.

She was looking directly at the radio, to the point that you would think that the object would explode from the intensity of the stare.

Something is definitely not right here.

Amon finished his statement with a sentence that implied a great many things.

"The time has come for the benders to experience fear."

Static returned, indicating the end of the Equalists speech, and Korra sighed slightly forgetting that Larik was watching her. Her face contorted into the much more familiar 'determined/stubborn' look and walked inside, mumbling that she was just getting a drink.

"I see that you heard the announcement as well." The voice of Tenzin states randomly, Larik jumping up from his seat slightly as the tall frame of Tenzin appeared beside him.

"Uh... yeah, we heard... Korra's gone to get a drink if you're looking for her Tenzin." He says respectfully.

"I came to talk to you, Larik. Have you noticed that Korra seems odd today?" He asks, stroking his beard thoughtfully as he stood beside the teenager, refusing an offered seat as he got closer.

"Well now that you've mentioned it yes, yes I have. She seems a lot more frustrated than usual." Larik replies, surprised at how he had only now just realised that fact.

"Do you know why?"

"No I'm afraid. My first thought would have been due to Korra being unable to do this particular bend but now I'm not too sure." Larik states with a shake of the head.

"Hmm... Alright then. Keep an eye on her Larik; she may need some support in the days to come." Tenzin concludes, heading back in, as he spoke.

After he had left, Larik started to think about what he could do to help Korra.

Better to leave her alone for now. I f she needs me, she knows where to look.

And with that thought, Larik stands up to go inside, deciding that they had trained more than enough for the day.
