[She hadn't thought about it like that. Looking back at the matches she'd witnessed, she felt stupid for not realizing it sooner. A lot of Mako's best moves had been circular in motion, like a tornado.
Maybe it was because she so rarely saw Tenzin airbend that she didn't see it before. But now it gives her hope. Maybe Bolin can teach her. And maybe she can adapt the techniques she already knows, the way she adapted Tenzin's airbending technique to water. Maybe...just maybe...this can actually work.
A smile spreads slowly across her face, shining as brightly as the snow at high noon. She launches herself at him, wrapping her arms around his chest in a bone-crushing hug.]
[Yeah, bone-crushing is a pretty apt description of this hug. It knocks the wind out of him, mostly because he didn't get the chance to prepare for it. Once he can breathe again, he returns the hug, laughing. Words aren't really necessary at this point.]
