" WHATS THE BIG IDEA with making me train this early in the morning? " korra asked the boys as the passed a weighted ball between the three. " ellia isn't even awake yet. "
" i'm awake! " ellia, very sleepily called out from the stairs, before the three gave her a 'barely' look.
" we're the rookies so we get the worst time slot in the gym. and your the rookiest of them all, we gotta get you up too speed if we wanna survive in the tournament. deal with it " mako told her whist throwing the ball at her kinda hard.
" you deal with it! " the hit headed girl snapped back and threw the ball harder making mako fall to the floor.
" there are my little hardworking street urchins. " butakha called out as he entered the gym.
ellia internally groaned.
" it's an honour to finally meet you, avatar. " he said, placing a hand on korras shoulder as the four kids came to him, ellia being in between her two brothers.
" and you are? " korra asked.
" butakha. i run this whole pro bending shebang. here's your winnings from the last match. " he handed mako a wad of cash.
" but not so fast. first you owe me for the avatars new gear, " he took a small amount from the pile. " gym and equipment rentals for last month, " he took some more.
mako went to put the rest in his pocket but for stopped. " rent on your apartment, " butakha grabbed some more cash. " and personal loan for groceries. " taking the last of the money they earned.
mako looked to bolin with an angry expression. " what? i'm a growing boy. " ellia sighed.
" oh, and one more small item of business, " the trio looked to the older man. " the fire ferrets need to ante up 30,000 yuans for the championship pot. "
" 30,00 yuans? " the younger two lawfeys said in shock.
" sorry, kids. you've got till the end of the week to come up with the dough or else, your out of the tournament. " he told the kids then walked away.
" you wouldn't happen to have a secret avatar bank account overflowing with gold, would you? " bolin asked korra before she pulled out her pockets signifying she had no money. " i got nothing. "
" i've never really needed money, " the girl confessed. " i've always had people taking care of me. "
" then i wouldn't say you had nothing. " mako said.
" sorry, i didn't mean— " korra worriedly said turning to the younger two siblings.
" no, it's alright, it's just... ever since we lost our parents we've been on our own. " bolin informed the girl, elli looking at her feet and playing with the ends of her brown hair.
