"There aren't a lot of airbenders in my world, either. Actually, there are only five, if you include me. And probably six in the future, if Master Katara was right about Tenzin's youngest child... but anyway," Korra shakes her head, not wanting to dwell too much on the time that's passing home without her. Or at least, the time she feels like she's missing out on. That's too quick of a route to panic. "But it's really different where I'm from. Each one of the bending practices kind of resulted in its own culture. Four nations built up from long ago, in ancient days, and they've started to mingle more and more now, but were still pretty separate up until I was born."

She crosses her arms, relaxing her stance slightly. Talking about home feels... more personal, and lends more of an idea to this young woman than Korra's had before.

"It was a huge tragedy that so many airbenders were wiped out, especially since they were all pacifists. Rebuilding them and maintaining some memory and practice of their ways is one of the most important movements going on today, where I'm from. Each one of the airbenders is pretty darn talented. Except me. But I'm an unusual case, since I can use all of the bending types."
