THE POOL'S HEEEEEERE!

[—is what everyone is going to hear as Aoi sprints across the Bastion. She flings her sweatshirt off, leaves it on the ground as she goes, and launches herself through the doors of the new building not far from the forge.

Anyone nearby will hear a resounding SPLASH through the doors, left wide open, as Aoi cannonballs into the deep end of the pool, shorts and tank top and all.

If anyone checks in on her, she's swimming rapid laps from one end of the pool to the other down the middle of the center lane, pausing at the ends every now and again to laugh, absolutely delighted, and wave at anyone who's shown up.] C'mon in, the water's fine!

We're definitely gonna have to teach you, then! Everyone's got their specialties, but it's good to be well-rounded, right! Oh, once we've got those covered, we can do less common stuff like the trudgen and the sidestroke...

[has the regret set in yet, Zuko]

[No, not yet. She's still working through confusion.]

You should probably stick to the basics for a while. I can't be the only one who's never heard of those.

[She knows freestyle and something like the breaststroke, but not by those names.]

[amphibian]

Oh, yeah, yeah... I've gotta make sure I don't get overeager, I guess. We'll pull the team together, master the freestyle together, and go from there! What do you think?

[Zuko nods approvingly.]

Sounds like a good start.
