"Are your eyes closed?"
>"Yeah but you weave the mists around like this?"
"Kinda. Do you feel any vibrations in the earth? That's like seeing with your feet."
>"How can I get in a kidney shot if I don't know where their kidney is?"
"You'll know. Eventually you may see chi in the mists. It guides you to awareness of your surroundings."
>"I see nothing."
"It takes a while. You're not very patient. Have you even tried meditating before?"
>"Sounds boring."
"Yu'lon says that's super important. My Uncle makes it look boring. Why don't we just focus on stance for now."
"The key to mistweaving is your stance. You've gotta be steady and rhythmic. Mist is a mysterious element. If you're going to move it, you've gotta be subtle yourself."
>"Doesn't sound like something Wild Dog would do."
"Not really. You've seen me fight, I've found my own way. Though it's still pretty fluid and unpredictable right? Sorta like your rogueish subtlety."
"So let's put your legs apart like this."
"And your back straight like that."
"And your arm-"
>"I feel something!"
"Yeah~?"
>"It's soft and flat! Well, mostly flat."
"F-focus on it and your breathing. Do you feel anything else?"
>"Actually it's more like a pillow."
"Hilda."
>"Or a cloud. Is this the mist??"
"Hilda open your eyes."
>"Oh.. OH. Uhh sorry."
"Was aiming a bit more for my heart but that works too. I see you've caught on to the most important lesson. Though sometimes straight, the mists are often waves. They must remain so while you are bending them."

that turned so gay wtf.

I need Li Li in fire/air/water/earthbender clothes. Micky Neilson had to have written Li Li with Toph in mind. It matches too well.
