[ Lin is tagging along behind. She finally makes her way up next to the pair of them, and she squints at the empty habitat. She would have thought Korra was kidding, but there really don't appear to be any animals in there. But there are hoofprints. ]

They must be difficult to catch.

[bookbending]

[Jinora glances up at Lin before returning her attention to the animals.]

Why would you want to catch one?

[anatural]

To put 'em in a place like this, I guess.

[bookbending]

Maybe they weren't caught. Maybe the City just built the walls around them.

[lawbender]

It's the same thing, in the end. [ But hey, no darkness today. We're having a fun day. She reads the little placard describing the animals. ] They almost sound like creatures you'd see at home, don't they? There are sea creatures with horns like that, or so I've heard.

[anatural]

I thought they looked surprisingly normal.

[lawbender]

You thought? [ Her tone is (perhaps deceptively) mild. ] Have you re-assessed your opinion?

[anatural]

Uh, no. I still do. [It's not like she can see them to reassess her opinion.]

[lawbender]

[ There's a hint of something odd about that statement, but Lin lets it pass. ]

I will never understand magic. [ Her tone shows distaste for the word. ] How could these creatures know how innocent a person is?

[anatural]

Dunno. [Korra shrugs. Dunno, dun care.]

[Tohru had returned to where they left their outing supplies to get a bottle of water. Now she finally catches up with everyone, water bottle in hand.]

[She immediately brightens.]

Unicorns! I've never seen one before. They're so pretty!

[lawbender]

[ Lin smiles a little. She can't be surprised that Tohru can see them. ]

Are they from your world, Tohru? [ She at least recognized them immediately. ]

[riceballfruit]

Oh, no. They're in stories, and I've seen pictures drawn of them, but they're considered mythical in our world. You see some in movies! But they're just horses, everyone says.

I've never seen one until now.
