Well, in fairness, I don’t know Bear Grylls or Rihanna, so we’re probably even there. But yes, pro bending is a fairly popular sport back home. I’m not particularly big on it, but different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

...Bending is a martial art back home, not the other kind of bending.

...........
What OTHER kind of bending are you talking about???

[bloodisthicker]

Ah, well, elemental bending. You can probably think of it as bending a certain element to your will, since it’s basically controlling the one element you’re intrinsically linked to out of the four.

Oh.. Okay cool! I thought you meant like.... Something else
Do you bend any elements then?? And if u can, can you still do that here??

[bloodisthicker]

Yes, I can. I’m a waterbender, and fortunately, I can use it here. I’m not involved in sports, but it’s nice to have it for the sake of self-defense and practical applications like, say, drying my hair in the mornings.

Okay wow.. That last part I actually LOVE
My hair's super thick so it's a mission to get it ready after a shower!
Some people really get it all huh

Why didn't u become a sports star tho???
That seems like the easiest thing if it's already physical, right?

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, I can imagine. I mean, I've known non-benders who wear their hair long and it seems like a complete hassle... I don't really envy you on that front. Admittedly, I spend a portion of my day going over forms so I don't get rusty, so I do have to set some time aside for that.

And hm... I guess it would be easy, but I never really had an interest in sports. I was always a little more interested in books and politics. It's still useful in that regard, since I can defend myself rather than needing to rely on bodyguards or something like that.
