[Good news, Asami! Unlike the last time you spoke to Elsa, she looks generally less stressed and unsure at the start of this message!]

Hello, Asami! I, ah... thought you'd like to know that Anna and I will be coming back towards Ecruteak City soon. She just got her badge here in Olivine, and we both thought it'd be more interesting to head back east and go to the gyms there, rather than cross the ocean now.

[Because hey ocean travel is still kind of a sore spot for the both of them, even after three years...]

Since we'll be in the area, I thought, maybe... it would be nice to meet up for a bit. If you'd like, that is.

[paishodown]

I'd love to! Did you want to meet in Ecruteak?

[This is good, some excuse to get out of the city. She's not sure she can find a reason to leave, otherwise.]

[defyingfrigidity]

If it's not putting you out of your way at all... that would be nice, yes. It'd be a little easier to find a place to meet in a smaller city like that, don't you think?

[paishodown]

I don't have anything else going on. It'll be good for me to get out of Goldenrod for a while.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Hm...]

You don't want to stay in Goldenrod anymore?

[paishodown]

Well, I've... been here for quite a while.

[Quite a while. Read: Korra's gone and it's not fun anymore.]

So meeting you guys someplace else isn't any trouble at all.

[defyingfrigidity]

Sounds like you really want to stretch your legs. Have you thought about traveling around the region again?

[She assumes Asami did at some point, anyway. Can't really get to Goldenrod without traveling a bit, can you?]

[paishodown]

Yeah! I was going to with Korra, but we never really got around to it.

[Asami isn't really sure if she's sad about that.]

So a little trip would be welcome.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Oh. That makes what Elsa's going to suggest a little awkward, but if Asami really wants to get out a bit....]

... You know, if you'd like... I'm sure Anna wouldn't mind having another traveling companion. I certainly wouldn't.

[She likes it being just her and Anna, but at the same time.... if Asami's feeling kind of listless, she doesn't want to just leave her friend alone...]

[paishodown]

[That's a pleasant surprise.]

If that would be okay with you guys, I'd really appreciate it. Hanging around without any kind of group to belong to is... lonely.

[She can admit that.]

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course it's okay! You're a very good friend to me, and I know Anna will love you. She's been so eager to meet the friends I've made here.

And, well... if it helps you feel less lonely, then that's even more of a reason to put the offer out there.

[paishodown]

Great. I'll start that way, then, and let you know when I'm getting close.

[defyingfrigidity]

I'll do the same. It took us a little over a week to get to Olivine, and we were taking our time. Hopefully, the return trip will be a bit faster...
