They're a lot of fun if you're playing in one that you enjoy. I'm not sure I understand what the big deal is with just watching... and I definitely don't understand why everyone is so involved in them that everything is stamped with one of the team names.

[ It was more like some kind of national pride than anything else. It was so strange to her. ]

I don't really get the team thing either. I know it's all in good fun but drawing lines between people like that... [Reminds him too much of darker things.] A-anyway, it looks like this place really enjoys it, and so long as nobody's getting hurt there isn't any harm to it. Right?

[ Katara gives him a brief, assessing look at she trails off, but she decides not to pursue it. ]

Actually, it looks like it brings people together almost as much as it separates them. Even though they're cheering for different teams, they're all in the same place. And it gives them a lot to talk about. So that's nice, at least.

Hmm...I didn't think about it like that. [Of course, they don't really have 'team sports' back home. If people end up separating themselves from others, it's usually to hold power over them or to go to war with them.] Even if they're at odds with each other?

[watermarks]

[ She shrugs. ] Like you said, it's not as though they're actually fighting about it. It's actually amazing, when you think about it, how unified they are over competition.

[ She's never seen anything like this before. ]

[monolike]

I guess you're right. [It's kind of like how he and Mikleo get about ruins; they get competitive of course, but they still care about each other.] It's like...everyone already understands how it goes. Like there's this trust among people who haven't even met, to respect each other.

[ Katara pauses to watch as a band of Waves go by with someone on their shoulders, shouting congratulations to each other. ] ...I mean, it's still strange, but... yeah, it's like a whole other language, almost.

[monolike]

Yeah. [Sorey watches them too, a little wistful.] ...it's nice.

[.....anyway. Sorey clears his throat.] Um- right. This place looks good. Maybe we can just go in and ask some people inside if they do tours.

[watermarks]

Why not? [Worth a shot, anyway. She starts toward the door.] Let's go ask.
