The sun silently beats down on the grounds, waves of heat radiating off of everything. But then, a soft rumble begins. It grows louder and louder, starting in the mountains and crashing down down down until a great roaring avalanche of snow arrives...
The calm returns but the blistering heat is gone. "How's that, Autor?" Mia asks.
The boy smiles shyly at her, his warm, knitted scarf demonstrating a clear gradient of skill from raw novice to advanced beginner. "It's lovely," he says, squeezing her fingers in his gloved ones. "Thank you, Mia." Releasing them, he turns and places a hand on his hip to watch the next step.
At the mouth of the inlet a narrow cliff juts out into the water, covered by a thin layer of soil to which a mat of short grass is clinging, littered with demon bunny droppings. On this ledge, Korra stands, her feet planted firmly against the ground. Starting with that wide stance, Korra moves a foot and then pushes her arms in front and up, causing the lake bed to shift, and the waters to part as a narrow ledge of earth divides a smaller pond away from the larger lake.
Turning into the inlet, she leaps onto the surface and slides out into the center on a shelf of ice that stretches out in larger and larger crystals as it thickens beneath her. In the center of what will be the ice rink, Korra stops, and takes one calm, centering breath.
And then with her eyes closed she moves again, this time much more fluid in her motions, turning a slow circle on the ice with her arms in front of her, swaying as her weight shifts from foot to foot. A bubble of water rises in front of her, and as she pushes out, the bubble expands, passing through Korra so she's standing in the center of an ever expanding air filled bubble of water, stretching further and further out so by the time it hits the shore any onlookers will feel the cool sensation of water vapor from a fountain. She shifts her movement again, and the snowflake patterns of ice crystals appear at the top and the spread around the bubble, crystallizing and solidifying in a lattice of clear ice.
Then Korra opens her eyes, and finishes the rink as she slides back to the shore. There, a further turn and a sweeping gesture towards one side shatters a large hole in the side, perfect for a double door.
"Neat trick, Avatar," Autor says, accompanied by a saucy grin and an informal salute. With a few simple words, Mia sets a flurry fluttering down in the dome.
Once the rink is complete, the boy heads off to help an industrious ten-year-old set up the food and drinks table. There are some things too heavy for Rae to lift.

As an opening salvo, it goes wide, but the intent is there!

"S'it a fight you're after?"
A fight she can do. She's trying to keep the smile from swallowing her serious intent, but her eyes are sparkling with amusement nonetheless.
She breaks to the left, scooping up snow while hunting for a good makeshift barracks.

Her second throw is better.

She yelps as Rae's second snowball tags her hip, firing off a retaliation shot. It's got good aim, and a nice spin to it.
Thanks, Tommy.

Kate cackles victoriously, pushing snow up into a big pile that will soon become her
fortress of solitudesnow fort."That's the idea, my worthy opponent!"
no subject
....Okay, so Kate won't get a second chance, once all the snow's out of Rae's shirt.
Okay, now!
The darts towards a drift of snow, crouching behind it to start building up her stores of ammunition. Once she has six or seven made, the bombardment begins.
"No surrender!"

She starts volleying snowballs as quickly as she can make them, laughter turning to frost in the air, tinkling like bells.
Her snow fort is half-built, and looks a little like a snow slug, but it offers enough protection until she can get the turrets constructed.
