It was just.. awkward for her. She hadn’t really been exposed to a male’s humor as much. Her whole life has been sort of sheltered. It’s not that she’s not well adjusted, she doesn’t have as much experience in some things as others might have. Sure she’s trained with fine looking men her whole life, that’s part of the reason she handles herself so well in battle. And in standing up for herself. But for men making those sorts of jokes towards her… it’s not exactly territory she knows really well. There was Jakku… but that’s a long story…<br/><br/>Owen might notice that Korra is constantly moving her hands and arms, even subtly so, to keep the water under the control of her will. It’s as if the water is dancing wither her motions. When Owen addresses her as ‘Avatar Korra’, she does give him a brief sideways glance. For a moment, she thinks she should correct him. Well yes, she<em>is</em>the Avatar… but she hasn’t yet completed her training as such. She has yet to connect to her spiritual self, or to even Airbend. The one block she can’t seem to overcome, no matter how much she tries to fight it. She simply can’t. And she has been told numerous times the two are connected, her spirituality and Airbending. Tenzin insists that once she connects with the spiritual aspect of being the Avatar, her Airbending block will be easy to overcome. She needs to prove Tenzin right on that. To be the proper Avatar, she needs to Airbend.<br/><br/>Her head bows down a little as Owen speaks, as he tells her of his own plight. She brings a water encased hand to her head, and for the briefest of moments the water seems to glow. Slowly then she turns, her hands and arms still swaying slowly and rhythmically. She strides towards him, not making eye contact with him as she speaks.   “Well I’m sorry to hear that, but I<em>have</em>to get home. Amon and the Equalists are out of control, and I need to take him down.”  For a brief moment her tone is one of anger, especially when she mentions Amon. As she walks towards him, most of the water has fallen away from her, leaving only her hands encased in liquid. She stops just in front of him as she speaks once more, a frown on her lips.   “Just relax.”   Her hands then come up to his shoulder, and almost immediately the water encasing her hands begins to glow a gentle blue hue. Owen would feel the soothing effects of the healing forces at work, sending calming warmth into the whole of his shoulder. His would slowly begins to heal itself as she works, keeping her eyes on it. The gentle warmth would cascade all along his body, helping him to feel more relaxed, at ease.<br/><br/>“Maybe I could get that machine thing working or something. I mean it’s what brought me here, right? The Equalists probably have another one somewhere. I just beat the crap out of them and take it. Simple.”   She says with a confident nod. She then looks towards him out of the corner of her eyes with a smirk on her lips.  “And since I’m the Avatar and I save the world and people and all, maybe I’ll even be able to get you home. I’m kinda destined for that line of work, ya know.”  She almost sounds like she's bragging. As if she wants to convey to him just how important she is. As if someplace deep in her, she feels the need to validate herself to him.  She then looks back to his shoulder, focusing on the healing session. It isn’t something that takes the totality of her concentration, as it does for most Water Tribe healers. After all, the best healer in the world trained her for years on end. That kind of experience is pretty unprecedented.<br/>
